Connect. Earn. Learn.

The Black Book is a private community of talent leaders all working to support the world’s most ambitious startups. We help experienced leaders connect with startups from their earliest stages to build their people and talent function on a fractional basis. 

Why join the Blackbook?

We help you develop your fractional recruitment business. From anywhere. Totally flexible.

  • We partner leading VC firms as a Talent network to support scaling their portfolio. Our agreements are exclusive and provide unfiltered access to elite founders across the world. We help our members focus on delivering projects rather than constantly trying to find new work.

  • We avoid all traditional applications and connect you directly to founders. As our community is difficult to join with all members being pre-vetted we can give you credibility in a noisy marketplace.

  • Whilst our community is small it is mighty! Connect with your peers in a private space and learn from those working in the developing fractional market.

  • We pay out instantly on a monthly basis for anytime spent onsite at clients. You don’t have to chase startups or set payment terms. We also arrange all contracts and compliance for you whilst working so you can just focus on delivering excellent service.

Are you in the top 1%?

Our promise to start-ups is that this book will only contain the top 1% of people leaders. We define this by previous expertise scaling start-ups, gaining a personal recommendation from the Founder you supported and passing an in depth interview on early talent strategy.

You need to have a deep interest in the challenges of early stage company building and want to advise founders on best practice whilst getting your own hands dirty. To gain access to the Black Book you already need to have core skills that make you an excellent partner to walk into startups and have an immediate impact.
