The hiring
infrastructure
for your portfolio.

§1

The math nobody runs

Run the math on a 22-portco portfolio at 100 hires/year, 3 qualified rejections per hire, €20k average recruiter fee per re-acquisition: that's €6M of duplicated spend per year. Over the 10-year life of a fund: €60M. That number doesn't appear anywhere. Not in the LP letter. Not in the operating partner KPIs. Not in any post-mortem. It is the largest unmeasured operational leak in the modern venture model.

§2

Why your portfolio companies compete for the same profiles

A Growth fund with 22 portfolio companies has, at any given time, 6 to 9 active searches targeting the same candidates. The portfolio companies know nothing of each other. They retain the same firms, who present the same profiles sequentially, billing on each signature. The fund pays multiple times for the same candidate. The portfolio's reputation as a talent destination erodes silently.

§3

The hidden carry leakage

In carry terms: that's €5M to €10M off the GP cheque. Per fund. Per cycle. For a Partner managing carry of €30M to €60M over a 10-year fund cycle, that's a 6 to 15-month delta on retirement timing. The difference between fully funding the kids' education and not. This is not a marketing-tech problem. It's a partner-level economic problem.

§4

What we're building. And what we're not.

Skalisto operates one floor up: the fund-level network where finalists rejected by one portfolio company become available to the next. Anonymised by default. Confidential by construction. Reportable to LPs in basis points.

We exist for the 200 funds that won't build a 15-person Talent team but will not accept losing 0.5% of carry to an avoidable operational leak. If that's you, we should talk.
