Our Approach / Talent Network

We connect founders with a more diverse network of excellent talent as they’re scaling their teams.

Identifying and hiring the right talent is crucial to the success of any startup. We’ve built the Westbound Talent Network to connect brilliant professionals to high-growth opportunities at Westbound portfolio companies, with an emphasis on diversifying candidate pipelines with intros to Black and Latino talent. We partner with founding teams to accelerate their hiring initiatives at all stages of growth, including sourcing founding hires, scaling technical teams, and supporting executive searches.

How we support founders

We provide hands-on support to fill key hires across technical, non-technical, and leadership-level roles.

Tapping our extensive Talent Network, we curate candidate shortlists and facilitate introductions.

We amplify job posts and help portfolio companies build their employer brands.

Westbound’s expertise on team building has been helpful as I’ve thought about how to build a high-performance leadership team, particularly as we evolve from a scrappy startup to a company that has to embrace more organizational norms. Having someone with a seat at the table that is supportive through thick and thin has been absolutely invaluable for me.
