About the company

Talent Seed is a boutique search firm specializing in scaling technology companies, both venture-backed and private. We give you access to our networks, built over 20 years and consistently operating within start-ups, scale-ups and large-scale digital transformations.

We have an unrivalled reputation across the scaleup & VC communities. We’ve spent the last 20 years partnering with high-growth businesses and have helped shape the teams at EMEA’s most exciting start-ups.
