The problem
Top candidates ignore your InMail
Agencies charge 20-30% fees to do the reaching out for you. Meanwhile the relationships that would actually get a reply are already sitting inside your team, where nobody can see them.
Response rates on cold InMails and recruiter emails run under 5%
Recruiting agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary for placements
Nobody can see the thousands of potential candidates your team collectively already knows
Internal referral programs sit idle because employees don't know who to refer

Hi Guido, we're both connected to Garry Tan. Our entire platform is written in the language you created, and I would value 20 minutes on how we have structured the team around it.

“We made it a point to be very intentional about how we help portfolio founders. So we ask our community for advice or connections when it matters and we are growing our capabilities to ask better. Previously we used LinkedIn to find mutual connections. But most connections there are not warm enough. That's why we're so excited to partner with Village. With Village, we can see who you really know and how strong those connections are.”

“My Venture Fund has been using Village as part of the beta cohort and the tool looks and functions great ever since. The Village team did a great job in onboarding our investment team and portfolio founders and has been always available when needed. Our portfolio company founders found value in VC intro's and searching for potential clients in the Village platform.”

Principal, Oktogon Ventures
“As a former founder and now an active partner in the startup realm, having access to the right connections is transformative to a startup's trajectory. Before Village, our founders were largely dependent on our investment team's introductions. With Village, they not only can leverage our expansive network more efficiently but also delve into other founders' networks, multiplying their opportunities exponentially”
