Dan and Sweat Equity is the best kept secret in startups. We wouldn't be here without their help on team and talent.

It’s hard to think of SEV as a traditional investor because they’re not. The quality of their work is unparalleled and they’ve added value in numerous areas beyond top-tier introductions. They have really advanced our product and customers forward in significant wasys. They’ve become a true extension of our team.

When we needed help the most, the Sweat Equity team was there, their sleeves rolled-up, helping us with the gnarliest of challenges. Their bench is deep with the expertise necessary to build a world-beating business. And in cases where they can’t be helpful, they’re a phone call away from world class experts who can.

SEV gives us the opportunity to up-level our talent searches when trying to fill competitive and niche roles thanks to its unique recruiting pipeline. Compared with traditional hiring agencies, it's a no-brainer.

Sweat Equity plugs in quickly and functions as an extension of our small but growing team. As fellow practitioners, they double as thought partners and executers—a rare combination. And importantly, they approach the work with a long-term lens. We are grateful to have them on our side.

SEV helped to define our strategy, align the hiring team and accelerate the overall search in a way we didn't envision possible. They are serious pros. They've been there and done that in Silicon Valley. They're my first call for executive recruiting

The SEV team has increased hiring capacity and execution on our most critical, hardest to hire positions. They have partnered effectively with our team to not only deliver but also mentor and develop our recruiters in key areas and more advanced techniques.

There's no other firm like SEV. As a founder, you feel like they are in the trenches with you - not just advising, but actually rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty alongside you. What's special is they do this across a broad range of key activities - from engineering to recruiting, strategy and GTM - all under one roof.

SEV helped me amplify Verta’s exec team many-fold; they are like my extended exec team. The kind of experts that they can bring in to help with different parts of company-building is amazing — whether it is a world-class enterprise sales expert or a developer marketing expert — they’ll work with you to identify the right people at your stage of the company. The ability to work with such top-talent early-on has greatly accelerated Verta’s growth.

Wholesail

At Wholesail our vision is to enable trading partners to work together like they're part of the same company. We feel like this is exactly the kind of relationship we’ve developed with the team at SEV. As former venture investors and repeat entrepreneurs ourselves, we appreciate how unique this kind of partnership between a founding team and their investor is. During a short period of working together in the challenging environment of early 2020, we jointly developed a talent map of the specific networks we want to hire from, calibrated our screening and evaluation process, and hired a head of engineering with the specific industry expertise we were looking for.
