Putting people first

Our People + Talent experts can help you build the best team for you business

We provide more than just money

Businesses begin with people, and getting it right from the start is vital. Our Portfolio People + Talent team has scaled the likes of DeepMind, Checkout.com, Harry’s and other high-growth startups. Each of our six investment areas has a People + Talent partner on board. We aim to be an extension of your team, advising on everything from compensation to organisational structure, design to employee well-being, and leadership to communication. Working together, we can bring your vision to life.

Setting you up for success

We’ll work with you to set up the best hiring practices, with a clear and consistent mission your future employees can get behind. If you join us at the seed or series A investment stage, we’ll assign you a dedicated People + Talent partner for the first 12 months. Together, we’ll help plan and implement your strategy for recruitment, retention, leadership and culture. All of our founders, including those joining at pre-seed stage, have access to our gold mine of resources and guides for building a successful team.
