Case Study: How Drive Capital built a talent advantage for 150+ portfolio companies with Findem
Key results
The challenge
Drive Capital, a venture capital firm with more than 150 portfolio companies, acts as an in-house talent function across its portfolio. Manual sourcing was too slow for startup hiring urgency, company lists and signals were stitched together incompletely, and the firm had no visibility into its existing network connections.
The solution
Drive Capital used Findem for precision sourcing on signals that predict fit and for scalable outreach, paired with a portfolio-wide job board and talent network via Getro. The approach unified talent intelligence and network-driven hiring across the portfolio.
“Our founders don't have time to wait. Findem helps us meet that urgency and deliver the right candidates immediately.”

The results, in context
