Seats few firms can fill.

Names stay confidential.

  • Consumer tech

    Chief Technology Officer

    Placed a highly sought-after CTO, previously at a viral consumer social networking app, into an early consumer tech venture.

    Pioneering technologist

Founder-led

Built by a founder who builds teams.

V6 was founded by an experienced founder and builder who has built many high-performing teams over the years, from enterprise to pre-seed and across many industries. Every search is held to that bar: the people we would want on our own roster.

We don't fill seats. We build the roster that builds the company.

Engineering. Product. Go-to-market. The C-suite.

From first hire to first exec.

Software, founding and forward deployed engineers. Product managers. Founding account executives. And confidential executive searches for the CTO, VP and C-suite seats your next round depends on.

How a roster gets built

  1. Intake

    We map the seats your stage needs, the bar for each one, and what your investors expect those hires to change.

  2. Shortlist

    Vetted candidates from the V6 network, each with context on why they fit your team, not just the role.

  3. Close

    Interview loops, offer strategy and closing, so the right people actually sign.

  4. Day 90

    A team that ships, and a hiring engine you keep for the next round.

VC alignment

Then, the right few. Not every fund.

Great teams still need the right capital. We map your company against fund theses, stage focus and check sizes, shape the story those partners look for, then introduce you warm. It is also where V6 is headed: a fund that has already built the team behind the company.

  • Pre-seed to Series A founders
  • Thesis-matched target lists and warm introductions
  • Decks, models and data rooms built for each meeting
  • We scout for VC firms too, so the introductions land
