Early-Stage

We connect early-stage start-ups to scrappy, hands-on leaders with a strong bias to action who can pour the foundation for success. These player-coaches thrive on building 0 to 1 with limited resources.

Our Unique Approach

Finding Player-coach GTM Leaders

Stars from large, well-known brands can be a disaster at an early-stage start-up with limited resources and a need to move fast. We know leaders with a strong bias to action who enjoy getting their hands dirty to build. We look for strategic athletes with broad skills who can quickly pivot with the dynamic needs of a start-up.

Nailing Down the Right Personas

Early-stage start-ups don't have a growth playbook yet, so defining GTM roles is challenging. As GTM leaders with hundreds of successful searches under our belt, we have strong pattern recognition of what bundle of candidate skill sets will produce an impact in the short and long run.

It Takes a Village

Early-stage companies typically hire candidates who spike in areas critical to the company's growth. So, they often need help expanding their skills as the company scales. RevelOne supports placed candidates on sharpening their strategies, providing access to SMEs, and ensuring they have the right resources to accomplish their goals.

RevelOne did a fantastic job finding us qualified candidates to grow our product team. The RevelOne Team asked all the right questions to gain a deep understanding of what we were looking for and drove a tight process to qualify candidates, so I didn't have to worry about it.

After meeting with 5+ different recruiting firms about our CRO role we were looking to fill, we selected RevelOne and I'm so glad we did! We were provided with a consistent flow of extremely high caliber candidates that exceeded our expectations. RevelOne's team was consultative, transparent, communicative and overall wonderful to work with. Ultimately we landed an all star CRO candidate for the role that we're really excited about. Thank you!

RevelOne helped us hire our first EVP of Marketing to lead a high-growth team building a world-class consumer brand. They quickly honed in on the mix of brand and performance marketing skills, and delivered one of the top candidates in our space. This role was crucial for our business, and our hire has been an invaluable addition to the executive team.

RevelOne invests in their relationships with marketing leaders and their success — they placed me at SigOpt as Head of Marketing and then helped me with org strategy and hiring my team. Their service goes far beyond typical recruiters.

We hired RevelOne to help us find a player/coach head of marketing. Their marketing experience was helpful with identifying the nuances between candidates, which was very different from what we've seen from other recruiters. They ended up finding a great marketing leader — and faster than expected.

We really enjoyed working with Uddhav. He brought a level of professionalism that is differentiated from the rest. Uddhav is a partner to the companies he works with, he pushes you to test your assumptions in the hiring process and have a level of diligence questions that clarifies for him what is necessary for his job, but also helps in the discovery process so we can better understand our needs. If you believe hiring is a process, Uddhav's practice is about the best there is.

Working with RevelOne was a true pleasure and an incredibly efficient process which delivered great results. At the start of our engagement, they did an outstanding job of digesting and documenting the role and responsibilities of our prospective hire and then followed up with a detailed process for sourcing and interviewing excellent candidates. We were so impressed with the candidates that RevelOne brought forth for the senior sales role that we decided to hire two of them! We will definitely work with RevelOne on our next high level hire.

RevelOne felt like a true partner from day one. They were so much more informed than other recruiters I've worked with; they were able to describe the role and the company culture in great detail as if they were the hiring manager. They helped me evaluate all aspects of the opportunity—their guidance made the whole process very comfortable.

I know RevelOne as both a hiring manager and a candidate and the process was simply outstanding on both sides of the table. I almost never respond to recruiters, but they clearly did their homework before reaching out to me. They found me a terrific opportunity, and after seeing how well they treated me, it was a no brainer to bring them on to build out my new team.

Uddhav is the ideal partner when it comes to recruiting for my team's key roles. Aside from exceptional communication and execution skills, what sets him apart is his ability to truly understand what our needs are - and on top of that, it's clear he has a strong network as the caliber of talent he introduces to me is best-in-class. I could not recommend him and his team enough!
