Nucleus Talent

Nucleus is a high-touch, low-volume retained search firm headquartered in San Francisco. Our mission is clear: focus on the most formative hires. The right talent can transform a startup into a market leader or elevate an emerging fund to the next level. By partnering with visionary founders and fund managers, we provide the technical acumen and innovative vision needed to disrupt industries and create lasting impact. In today’s venture landscape, the old guard is giving way to a new breed of investors. Firms are increasingly valuing deep product expertise, and Nucleus embodies this shift. Inspired by trailblazers like Goodwater Capital, Amplify Partners, and SignalFire, we place leaders who don't just understand technology—they live it, breathe it, and drive it forward. Beyond search, Nucleus is committed to our San Francisco roots. We reinvest a portion of our fees into local non-profits, fueling the community that fuels us. We're at the nexus of tech and impact, securing leadership and strategic talent that excels and gives back, ensuring the Bay Area remains a beacon of innovation.
