We are not a traditional recruitment agency. Gingerbread was born from a deep understanding of startup ecosystems worldwide. Our team combines the perspectives of operators, investors, and recruiters, with hands-on experience scaling startups, building corporate teams, and backing high-growth companies. That’s why we approach every search not as a hiring exercise, but as a strategic growth decision.
Our approach is consulting-led and insight-driven:
Guiding hiring through the lens of fundraising milestones and investor expectations.
Advising founders on team composition and organizational design from Seed to Unicorn.
Leveraging a global network and a clear view of what “great” looks like across tech, operations, product, and leadership.
Supporting startups as trusted partners who’ve been there before as founders, VCs, and operators.
By bringing together recruitment expertise with an insider’s understanding of venture and startup growth, we help founders make smarter, stage-appropriate hiring choices that align with any founder’s long-term vision of building teams that scale as fast as their ambition.
