Founders Associate · Chief of Staff · Head of Ops

The founder’s right hand, hired properly.

A curated pool of operators who run the day-to-day for early-stage founders. Operators build one profile and get discovered. Founders are vetted on a call, then introduced by hand.

Free for operators · Founder access is invite-only, after a short call

Vetting

Curation is the product. Both directions.

Most hiring tools scale by letting everyone in. This one is deliberately small: every operator profile is read by a person before it goes live, and every founder has had a call before they see a single candidate. That’s what makes it safe for operators to be here while employed, and worth a founder’s afternoon.

Gate 01 · operators

Reviewed for real operating experience, not title inflation. Status set to live, or archived with a note.

Gate 02 · founders

A call before access. Real company, real role, real budget — or no invite.

Gate 03 · the intro

Introductions are made by hand, so neither side gets a cold pipeline of noise.

Questions we get on both sides.

Your data

You stay in control of your profile.

We store only what your profile needs, on EU infrastructure. Nothing is visible until you consent and a person approves it. Only vetted founders reach the directory — never the public, never advertisers.
