We grow teams like living systems. Only cooler. And scalable.
What we do
We build fast-growing companies the teams they actually need — not just “the best on the market”, but the best
for their business model, burn rate, and ambitions.
High-velocity hiring for engineering, product, data
& creative
Market intelligence
& talent mapping
Team architecture
& leadership coaching
Organizational scaling for hypergrowth
Think of us as an
HR version of AWS: you build, we scale.
Without surprise invoices.
Why we exist
We don't just “fill roles”. We prevent future fires. Sometimes literally.
Startups deserve better than:
01
3-week silence from recruiters
02
Not-quite-technical interviews
03
“We’ll get back
to you next Tuesday”
We built MYCELIUM to fix that
We operate with:
01
The speed of a startup
02
The rigor of a consulting firm
How we work?
A three-person project squad:
Recruiter.
Lead Consultant.
Analyst.
Working as an embedded part of your company.
We move faster than the morning coffee hits the bloodstream.
