Founder

Josh Gretton.

I've been working with early-stage tech companies for ten years. From Seed to Series C, from San Francisco to London. My clients have gone public, gone bust, become zombies, grown up, and gone international.

I started in tech as a recruiter in New York. Since then I have worked inside three Series B startups, building markets, rebuilding GTM playbooks, and getting a real glimpse into the future of work.

Now I'm back doing what really sparks joy for me. Headhunting. I use that word intentionally. I don't recruit or farm candidates. I take time to understand the business, the leadership, and the market before searching for the right people.

Experience
  • HSBCGlobal banking from the inside. How large, regulated organisations really work, buy, and hire.
  • WorksHubWhere headhunting started for me. One of the first crypto recruiting desks in New York, with 50+ placements into frontier tech.
  • KaratSeries B scale up. Enterprise Sales, from IC to leading teams, selling technical hiring into large engineering organisations.
  • PypestreamSeries B scale up. Built and led enterprise sales in the UK. Conversational AI with long, complex sales cycles.
  • TechWolfSeries B scale up. GTM for AI skills intelligence, and a front-row seat on the future of work.
