Human Capital

340 Pine Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, California, 94104, United States

Overview

Human Capital operates as a recruiting/agency business, a venture capital fund, and a creative agency focused on engineering talent. Its VC fund manages $210 million in assets under management. The recruitment arm has about 5,000 members and has placed engineers at startups including Brex, Grammarly, and Robinhood. The company does not charge engineers; it takes a commission on the hired engineer’s first-year annual income and provides interview coaching, offer negotiation, and career guidance. Human Capital conducts targeted campus outreach to recruit members and has pursued acquisitions to bolster its agency business, including an acqui-hire of Khonvo Corporation. The firm also deploys venture capital into startups (examples include Brex, Bolt, Qualia, Livongo, Snowflake, Clumio, Wildlife, and Trackonomy) and prefers to lead rounds for companies founded by its engineer members. The company says it is valued in the hundreds of millions following a recent $15M capital injection.
