Who we work with

Built for founder-led companies and the investors backing them.

Whether you’re scaling without a people function, restructuring for the next stage, integrating an acquisition, or assessing the leadership behind a portfolio bet — our work fits inside your rhythm and your constraints.

Founders & CEOs

Founder-led SMEs (15–100)

Growing teams without a structured people function. You’re carrying too much of the HR work yourself.

Scale-ups

Growth-stage tech & services

Hiring fast, restructuring, professionalising for the next round — and needing the org to keep pace.

Investors

VC, PE & family offices

De-risking leadership decisions on portfolio companies — pre-investment due diligence and post-deal value creation.

Corporates

Subsidiaries & business units

Local HR ownership for a Belgian entity, embedded as part of the leadership team — without hiring full-time.

How we show up

Our values aren't a poster — they're how we work.

Six principles that shape every engagement. Read them as a contract: if any one of them isn’t true, we owe you a conversation.

Business first

We start from your commercial reality — revenue, runway, growth — and design the people work to enable it. HR in service of the business, not next to it.

Pragmatic

Real operations, not slideware. We bias toward decisions you can act on in the next two weeks.

To the point

We say what we think, give you the read straight, and skip the hedging. Founders don’t have time for fluff.

Fit for purpose

Your stage, your team, your budget. We don’t scale down enterprise HR — we build what fits, then evolve it.

Fast and high quality

Senior people, lean process, MVP first. We move at the speed of the business and bring the discipline of a much bigger firm.

Challenge & think with you

We’re a thinking partner, not an order-taker. Expect us to push back when it matters and bring options when it counts.
