TalentPartners.js works closely with executives and investors at hypergrowth startups across the North America & Silicon Valley, and helps build acquisition-ready software engineering & executive teams. 

We partner with the very best startups in North America, many with close ties to San Francisco (products include wearables, augmented & virtual reality, 3D printing, big data & machine learning, fintech/mobile payments & IoT). Our portfolio companies have high profile customers such as Apple, Slack, Twitter, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Paypal, Netflix, eBay, Pinterest, TED, Mozilla, Tumblr, NBC, Disney, NBA, Yahoo, Salesforce, Yelp, Visa, Walmart, Staples, Target, etc.

Our portfolio companies are mid to late stage, highly funded (Pre-IPO) or recently acquired startups, several with headquarters in Silicon Valley and most backed by Google Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Lightspeed Patners, Founders/CEOs of Instagram, Uber, Instagram & Dropbox, Facebook/Apple executives, Jeff Bezos, Jack Dorsey, Richard Branson, Mark Cuban, and other highly in-demand VCs. Our earlier stage portfolio companies have normally passed through world renowned incubators like Y-Combinator or Techstars.

We work with a large & growing network of some of the most accomplished tech executives & intelligent software engineers who aren't necessarily looking for anything new, but rely on us to provide them with tailored recommendations in terms of which companies to invest their limited time into. 

Close contacts in our network often focus on the most in demand and difficult to find areas of the market, including JavaScript & Node.js, Machine Learning & Data Science, Python/Ruby/Big data, iOS/Android, Cloud Infrastructure, Distributed Systems, & UI/UX design.

ExecutivePartners.js

ExecutivePartners.js is an award-winning technology consultancy, and one of North America's executive search leaders in the Pre-IPO & Enterprise spaces.

Many of our portfolio co's have been acquired by companies like Apple Inc. or increased their valuation by tens of millions after working with us — reflecting the results of the hugely valuable executives we secured them.

We're trusted by several of the world's largest organizations, and many of the top Google backed, pre-IPO Silicon Valley HQ'd ventures, to help optimize this process and ensure the right executive joins their team — making them acquisition-ready.

Our executive track record is industry leading, and has resulted in some of the top Silicon Valley based companies describing us as "magicians", with similar recruiting judgement as CTOs. 

The results and ROI we drive through building leading executive teams was recently recognized, as we were awarded the prestigious Top 30 Under 30 Award.

Our client testimonials paint a good picture of the results we drive for leadership teams, as well as ROI: executivepartnersjs.com/testimonials. 

As Angel Investors ― along with previous backgrounds as hiring managers in prominent venture-backed startups & tech entrepreneurs building mobile products, pitching VC's ― we can relate to founders and truly understand some of the toughest challenges and strategic decisions executives face.

Our portfolio consists mostly of Series B-E (pre-IPO) and acquired hypergrowth startups (with close ties to SF) backed by Google/Andreessen/Sequoia & Instagram/Uber Founders, as well as industry leading, publicly traded leaders.

This value proposition has resonated heavily with top passive executive candidates, and those we have hired for our client partners (ranging from C-Suite and VPs, to Sr. Directors and General Managers / Country Head's) have come from some of the greatest startup success stories in the history of North America's tech scene and largest ever acquisitions.
