Recruitment, Venture Finance & Strategy.

We are hyper-focused on scaling world-class teams, to tackle the toughest problems in Tech.

First Principle

Where we focus our impact…

  • From next-generation propulsion to in-space power, mobility, and launch systems, frontier aerospace demands innovation across every layer of engineering and science. We partner with companies advancing technologies for electrified flight, hypersonics, access to orbit and the future of off-planet industry.

    Our experience spans propulsion architectures of all kinds, along with the supporting systems that make them viable: guidance and control, power management, thermal, avionics, and manufacturing. We’ve helped founders and technical leaders build out multidisciplinary teams capable of solving the complex integration challenges that come with scaling aircraft from VTOL to satellites and launch technologies from prototype to production.

    Beyond flight, we support ventures developing automation, robotics, and industrial processes for on-orbit servicing, in-space assembly, and planetary exploration. Whether building sustainable launch capacity or pioneering permanent off-earth infrastructure, we help organizations attract the top 1% who can turn ambitious concepts into deployed systems.

  • Solving energy abundance and climate stabilization demands both scientific vision and the rare talent capable of executing it. We partner with companies developing transformative technologies across advanced nuclear, electrochemical, and thermochemical processes, transforming how humanity manages power and resources across our ecosystem.

    Our network spans the frontier of climate innovation: from fusion developers pioneering compact reactors, to novel chemistry-driven processes for fuel synthesis, carbon capture, water generation or weather modulation. We assemble multidisciplinary teams pushing advancements in industrial-use plasma systems, cryogenics, and advanced thermal management systems amongst other technologies that that underpin industrial decarbonization.

    Whether working toward limitless power or active climate engineering, we can help you take breakthrough ideas from the lab to industrial reality.

  • Breakthroughs in advanced materials underpin nearly every frontier technology, from next-generation batteries and superconductors to aerospace alloys and quantum components. We partner with companies rethinking material performance at the atomic and industrial scale, enabling progress in energy, mobility, and manufacturing.

    Our work spans rare earth extraction and refining, advanced metallurgy, and nanomaterial synthesis, through to the design of novel composites and functional surfaces for extreme environments. We support ventures engineering high-temperature superconductors, lightweight structural materials, and new conductive systems that unlock radical gains in energy efficiency and system performance.

    With deep understanding of the complex transition from bench to pilot, through to commercial-scale manufacturing, we help founders build teams capable of turning novel material science into reality connecting innovators with the engineers, scientists, and process specialists who translate molecular-level discovery into world-changing products.

Recruiting leaders, engineers & scientists across ToughTech.

“Tom helped us place a mission-critical role at Arca!

Our needs were quite specific, and we had already spent months searching and interviewing several dozen applicants.

We took the assignment to Tom who led the process end-to-end... He helped us clarify our needs, think strategically about how the role could evolve, and think differently about where we might find our ideal candidate.

We are very pleased with the process and the outcome, we have HIRED A ROCKSTAR candidate and will be turning to Tom again in the future for our mission-critical roles”

OUR TEAM

We believe everyone should love what they do - because passion drives excellence… That’s why we prioritize the well-being and fulfillment of our own team as much as the candidates we place.
