Executive Search for Technology & AI Leaders in
VC-Backed Companies
Engineering and Product Leaders Who Answer the Call
For venture-backed companies, the pressure on technology and product leadership is intense. Founders are expected to ship product, prove market fit, and scale quickly, often while hiring senior executives for the first time. These hires can be make-or-break, shaping culture as much as they drive growth.
Parker Remick helps founders and VC talent partners secure the leaders who can navigate this journey. We are a specialist partner with over 25 years of venture experience with deep EPD focus and the trusted networks to connect you with candidates who answer our calls. Our team approach across consultants, researchers, and recruiting coordinators gives young companies both horsepower and guidance, providing structure where it doesn’t yet exist and counsel where it’s most needed.

Proven Expertise & Network
Roots in Venture:
Venture has been the core of Parker Remick’s work since 1998. From Series A through IPO, we’ve placed engineering, product, and design leaders who’ve built iconic companies, including Figma, Chime, Whatnot, and Komodo Health.
Founder-Focused Support:
Many VC-backed founders are hiring senior leaders for the first time. We guide them through defining the role, structuring the process, and evaluating trade-offs that ensure every hire aligns with business and cultural objectives.
Team-Based Model:
Every VC search is led by experienced partners and supported by researchers and recruiting coordinators. This means we can flex between advising first-time founders on basics like interview loops, or helping seasoned teams secure hard-to-reach executives at scale.
Warm Network & Fresh Access:
Our consultants maintain active relationships across the venture ecosystem. Because we know the companies founders admire, and the leaders who’ve scaled them, we bring “stretch” candidates into play that wouldn’t engage through outreach alone.
Diversity Commitment:
In the past year, 36% of our VC placements were women, double industry norms and evidence of our commitment to broadening access to leadership opportunities.
