Startup Headhunters?

I can't seem to find NYC headhunters that focus on hiring for startups. Particularly interested in Series A-D, within operations/strategy/GTM/strategic finance. Anyone have any resources?

For NYC headhunters specializing in startups, particularly in Series A-D stages and roles like operations, strategy, GTM, and strategic finance, here are some recommendations based on the most helpful WSO content:

  1. Ratio Advisors: Known for their impressive roster of top VC and growth firms, they focus on tech, VC, and growth investing. They could be a great fit for your needs.

  2. Glocap: While they have strong middle-market connections, they also work with startups and could be worth exploring for strategic finance and operational roles.

  3. Insight Partners: Although not a headhunter, they have a large footprint in the startup ecosystem and might provide insights or connections to relevant recruiters.

  4. General Atlantic: They recruit heavily out of banking and have a significant presence in growth equity and startup-related roles.

  5. GV (Google Ventures): Known to recruit through headhunters for roles in startups, particularly in strategic and operational capacities.

If you're targeting specific roles, it might also be helpful to directly network with professionals in your desired field or leverage platforms like LinkedIn to identify recruiters with a focus on startups in NYC.
