Everyone in SF is chasing the same AI talent. The game just changed this year. Every founder I speak to is looking for the same person: • 3+ years experience • full AI native (Claude, Cursor) • Wants to work 9-9-6, thinks like a founder The catch? They’re either -> starting their own thing -> taking big tech checks, or -> hard to catch at the right time. Now, founders are forced to get creative. I keep seeing three new tactics pop up: → Brand hard. Cluely and a few others are making noise that brings inbound. → Acqui-hire whole teams. Failed startup? Doesn’t matter. Founders grab the team and move fast. → Hire international. Especially EU founders with great networks leverage visas to get cracked engineers over. Each move is a reaction to the AI boom draining the local pool. The old hiring playbook? Doesn’t work anymore. Here’s what I’m seeing: You need to act fast, be intentional, and show you care about the mission - otherwise, you miss out. We’re helping teams do this daily. Hiring S-tier, founder-type missionaries, not mercenaries. If you’re building and want to talk talent, or need a new approach, DM me or reach out. Always up for a real founder-to-founder chat.
