Atem

atem partners with founders and investors to build world-class leadership teams, not merely collections of talented individuals. Founded by Tiffany and Jake, the firm is high-touch and high-conviction, with everything delivered end-to-end by the principals rather than outsourced to junior team members. Both founders have worked at leading companies including Uber and Netflix and have sat on leadership teams for early-stage startups across Europe and the United States.

The team brings startup founder DNA, understanding the same pain points and operating with matching urgency. atem invests its own capital back into the startup ecosystem and provides weekly support to founders. The firm directly addresses a significant misalignment between incentives for executive search firms and founders building companies, seeking to change that dynamic through founder-centric recruitment.

atem takes a design and build approach to leadership team assembly, focusing on hiring rather than investing. The firm engages in consulting and ongoing support for founders and investors seeking to establish and strengthen executive leadership across all stages of company growth.
