Straightforward, Transparent, Recruitment.

We are hyper-focused on scaling world-class teams, to tackle the toughest problems in Tech.

First Principle

Where we focus our impact…

Clean Technology

Solving the world’s most complex challenges, from clean energy breakthroughs to next-generation water, air, and carbon management systems, requires visionary leadership and world-class technical talent. We specialize in identifying founding executives, engineers, and scientists who can drive first-of-a-kind innovations from concept to commercialization. Partnering predominantly with Seed to Series round companies, we help build the teams that turn bold ideas into scalable, market-defining solutions.


From high-performance alloys and engineered ceramics to rare earths and battery-grade materials, the future of hardware depends on the chemistry behind it. We support companies advancing metallurgy, mineral processing, and sustainable extraction, from novel refining methods to components built for extreme environments in reactors, the deep sea, or space. Whether scaling pilot lines or solving for commercial deployment, we place engineers, chemists, and operators who turn raw elements into real-world impact.

Advanced Materials & Critical Metals


Applied Biology & Bioengineering

Biology is the next frontier in sustainable manufacturing. From engineered microbes and enzyme systems to genomics-driven strain development, we partner with companies using biology to solve industrial problems - minimizing waste, refining materials, and building circular, bio-based supply chains. Whether scaling synthetic biology platforms, launching biomanufacturing facilities, or integrating biology into existing infrastructure, we help build the teams pushing biological systems into the core of modern industry.


Aerospace & Space Exploration

From propulsion systems to thermal protection and engineered composites, frontier aerospace and exploration demands relentless innovation across physics, chemistry, and engineering. We support companies operating in extreme environments, both in and out of orbit, as they develop technologies ranging from electric-powered flight to deep-space mobility and planetary surface systems. Whether advancing sustainable aviation or off-earth science, we help build the teams delivering real-world impact in the harshest conditions imaginable.


Recruiting leaders, engineers & scientists across ToughTech.

“Tom helped us place a mission-critical role!

Our needs were quite specific, and we had already spent months searching and interviewing several dozen applicants.

We took the assignment to Tom who led the process end-to-end... He helped us clarify our needs, think strategically about how the role could evolve, and think differently about where we might find our ideal candidate.

We are very pleased with the process and the outcome, we have HIRED A ROCKSTAR candidate and will be turning to Tom again in the future for our mission-critical roles”

OUR TEAM

We believe everyone should love what they do - because passion drives excellence… That’s why we prioritize the well-being and fulfillment of our own team as much as the candidates we place.
