Executive Finance Recruitment for Tech Startups
Zanda exists to accelerate sustainable growth in strong tech companies by surrounding founders with other talented leaders.
Acquiring extraordinary talent is the irreplaceable advantage in times of change, crisis or growth. It is also potentially the trickiest factor to get right.
Whatever your strategic goals may be - whether you’re taking on a fundraise, focusing on a buy-and-build strategy, or maximising valuation on a potential exit - we’re here to help you connect with the people that can get you there.
Zanda is typically engaged from Series A to Pre-IPO in major industries ranging from SaaS, FinTech and EdTech to HealthTech, e-commerce and Consumer Tech. Much more than simply a transactional relationship, we see ourselves as proactive partners to creating long-term value for your venture.
