We build AI-first startups.
Plus Plus helps founders identify and hire the scientific, research and engineering talent to build the coming generation of AI-first businesses. We choose clients with a mission we find inspiring, a market we believe in, and hard problems that attract deep thinkers. We invest in our clients, aligning long-term interests.
Foundation AI. Companies with deep domain expertise amassing domain-specific proprietary data in order to train new models and package them in next-generation software.
Bio AI. Companies building AI to understand biology the same way LLMs understand human knowledge, with a compelling data + AI training strategy and strong go-to-market plan.
Embodied AI. Companies pushing the frontier of robotics by combining multimodal and reinforcement learning to unlock new scaling curves for the capability and training velocity of autonomous systems.
We take a high-touch, research-intensive approach. We are infinitely curious, propelling us to go where others cannot. We are passionate about everything that goes into crafting high-performing teams. People we work with attest that we operate at a different level.
Founded by Nate Boyd
I started Plus Plus to provide a fundamentally better recruiting service, after working with so many recruiters who didn’t get it or give a shit. I do.
I dig deep into my clients’ situation and needs, while establishing relationships with candidates that extend well beyond a single opportunity. I am inspired by people who are genuinely driven to make the world a better, more interesting place.
I've Been There
My approach is guided by my experience as a startup founder, engineer, and product manager. I started programming when I was a kid and ended up going to MIT to study computer science, before jumping into industry.
Whether you're building a company or looking to make a move, I can probably relate. Think of me as part coach, part talent agent, part strategist, part therapist, and a perpetual problem solver.
