The Network

How the network works.

From fund onboarding to consolidated metrics, without touching your portfolio companies' internal processes. Here's how.

How it works

One infrastructure. Four steps.

From fund onboarding to consolidated metrics, without touching your portfolio companies' internal processes.

01

Fund onboarding

30 minutes with our team. You define your sharing rules and invite your portfolio companies.

02

Portco activation

Each portfolio company configures its workspace in 10 minutes. No tool to replace, native connection with your existing hiring tools.

03

Pooling

When a portfolio company doesn't retain a qualified candidate, that profile becomes automatically available to the others, anonymised, on your terms.

04

You steer

Your dashboard consolidates the picture: cost-per-hire per portco, pooled talent, operational leakage measured in basis points. Reportable to your LPs.

Sharing levels

Two circles. The fund stays in control.

From intra-fund perimeter to external network, activation stays sequential, never by default.

Level 2

Level 1

Intra-fund

01

Level 1

Intra-fund

Candidates not retained circulate immediately between portfolio companies of the same fund. Maximum confidentiality. Maximum relevance.

02

Level 2

External

Broader pool to the extended network. Manually activated by the fund or the portfolio companies, never by default.

→ Sequential activation. The fund stays in control.

Multi-fund confidentiality

Fund data stays fund. Always.

01

Fund-private dashboards

Sequoia never sees Index's portfolio. No data leaves your perimeter, including for shared portfolio companies. Metrics, hires, compensation ranges: everything stays in your perimeter.

02

Anonymisation by default

On the network, candidates not retained circulate without identity. The destination portco sees 'Senior Backend, ex-Stripe, 6 yrs experience', not 'Jean Dupont not retained, origin masked.' Identity is only revealed with both parties' consent.

03

Masked provenance

Destination portcos never know which source portco a candidate came from. No fund learns anything about another fund's hires or unsuccessful applications through the platform.

Differentiation

Not an ATS. Not a sourcing agent. A fund-level category.

Trust & infrastructure

Built to pass an LP due diligence.

We sell to funds. Governance is aligned with what your Limited Partners expect, not what a portco-grade ATS ships with.
