Scaling a Stealth Mode Gene Editing Company Post-Series A
Challenge
A stealth-mode gene editing startup, backed by venture partners and led by a visionary CSO, was entering a critical phase of its growth journey. After securing Series A funding, the company needed to rapidly expand its team, scaling from 12 to 50 employees, to meet the demands of their ambitious research and development goals.
Approach
Partnering closely with the CSO and the venture partners, we crafted a bespoke recruitment strategy to address the company’s specific needs and growth targets. Our approach focused on identifying candidates who possessed the specialized skills required to drive the company’s research forward, while also fitting into the dynamic and fast-evolving startup environment. Over the course of the expansion, we were responsible for approximately 25% of all new hires, building the company’s leadership and technical teams.

The challenge was not only to find top-tier talent in the highly specialized fields of gene editing and molecular biology but also to do so efficiently and strategically during a pivotal expansion phase. Our targeted search and rigorous selection process ensured that each hire was not only a leader in their field but also aligned with the company’s innovative culture and long-term vision."
