(About)
We build the foundations and make the first critical hires.
(One firm, two teams.)
Founders come to us at the moments that define what the company becomes: the foundations that need building, and the hires that have never been made before. Led by Arthur Gallanter and James Kennedy, we work as strategic partners and hands-on contributors.

(How we work)
The same principles, whichever team you start with.
Hands-on, not handoffs.
(01)
We work as an extension of your leadership team, on the work that moves your next milestone.
Numbers on the page.
(02)
Talent publishes its fees. Studio engagements are milestone-based and run through our client portal.
Honest about fit.
(03)
If you are hiring one of many, or just need extra hands, we will tell you. Another option may serve you better.
Aligned incentives.
(04)
Where it makes sense, part of our fee comes as advisory shares or warrants.
