Week In Review:
June 20, 2025
On The Ground
Increasing pressure is being put on companies to conserve capital - not quite at the fever pitch of mid-2022, but a drumbeat nonetheless. The result as it relates to teams? Companies are now putting pressure back on their investors to help with talent acquisition. This is straining internal talent teams at venture, private equity and growth equity shops (those that have them, that is). But if you’re looking for your next thing, this needs to be an important part of your strategy.
It's not uncommon for those internal talent teams to function like search firms, and often they run on a completely different CRM than the investment team and are continuously looking to shorten hiring cycles for executives.
The TL;DR? It's great to know the investors, but make sure you ask for the intro to the talent folks, they have a view of the entire portfolio as opposed to just the boards the investors sit on, and are more proximal to impact.
Last week we opened up our intake for our Mid Year report - we’d love to hear from you on the state of hiring within your organizations and for you personally. The survey is completely confidential (no names, emails, or identifying characteristics). We’re keeping the survey open until July 7th, so if you have 5 minutes, we’d love to hear your perspective!
