Helix Executive Search & Recruiting

Helix is a retained search firm built for complexity — where science, urgency, and hiring pressure collide. We place hard-to-find execs and team leads across synbio, materials, foodtech, and hardtech. Founders, VCs, and F500 innovation teams call us when things go sideways — or when they can’t afford to miss again. What we do: ● Executive Search for Startups Build the right team before you blow the next milestone. We hire GTM, science, and exec leaders — for founders who don’t have six months to get it wrong. ● Portfolio Talent Partnering for VCs When hiring stalls — or you need to reboot a PortCo — we unjam it. We work directly with VCs to assess, upgrade, and run key searches before burn or board pressure does more damage. ● Innovation & R&D Executive Search for F500 We turn central R&D — where science often goes to die — into commercial launchpads. From biotech to energy, we place operators who know how to build. ● Accelerated Retained Search 62.5-day average close. No layers. No handoffs. No BS. Our work is research-driven, laser-focused, and built to close the right hire — fast — with a one-year guarantee. If you’re building what’s next — or fixing what just broke — let’s talk.
