Great Team Partners

When you make big bets:
Your team is the strategy.


We help founders build lean, high-performing teams by aligning people strategy with business outcomes.

The thesis

When payroll is the greatest expense on
a company's P&L, your team should
be your greatest investment.


We help founders architect a team where the whole far exceeds the sum of its parts.

The problem

Most first-time founders
learn this lesson too late.

what happens

Your early success meant sudden scale. Hiring eased the burden, but early hires aren't always long-term solutions. People problems can be painful and expensive — and often precede the need for people executives.

People strategy is business strategy.

We're here to align the company and the employees — and make both better for it.

why it happens

Companies think from the company's perspective; people think from their own. This delta is the source of most workplace problems. A strong people strategy aligns these so everyone wins — employees are motivated, coordinated, and enabled for success, and the business achieves its goals.


partners in practice

What our clients say:

“It just works.”

GTP is able to plug in directly with hiring managers at all levels, and different domains, even amidst shifts in strategy or changes in leadership — they figure out how to get alignment and signal to drive hires (and in some cases a lot of hires fast).

Avlok Kohli CEO, AngelList

“Ahead of our Series A, we hired GTP to help us find and recruit the best people for VP Sales and other early positions in Product, Engineering, and Design. They bring professionalism to our hiring process and are helping the team reach its full potential through culture initiatives and proactive HR.”

Mike Faloon COO, Ready

“GTP provided critical, high-quality, tactical recruiting mentorship and counsel to FormSwift. They helped interview key hires and provided mentorship about how to properly set up and scale our recruiting function. I'd highly recommend GTP for any recruiting or coaching role.”

Vik Tantry CEO, FormSwift

“Any company that has any employees should hire GTP.”

As a startup, you go from producing 100% of the work to 1% of the work very quickly as you scale your team. That means that your team needs to be doing the work you want them to be doing at a performance level that has high ROI on the investment you make on each of them. That is what GTP has helped me with — that translation layer between business vision / strategy and day-to-day execution by my team.
