About Pearl

Pearl places top 1% talent from around the world into operational roles at startups and exceptional organizations. Our clients are high-growth companies and U.S.-based businesses that have collectively raised over $3B from leading investors including Sequoia, a16z, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and more.

We’ve bootstrapped to millions in revenue and profitability within our first year, and are now in year three with 10x growth in the last calendar year. Pearl exists because while opportunities aren’t equally distributed, ambitious talent is — and it’s our mission to connect hungry, sharp individuals with opportunities to work alongside world-class founders while earning far more than they would in their home countries.

Pearl was founded by two 3x entrepreneurs who built the company out of a 3-year project solving our own hiring needs. Our approach prioritizes client and talent success over pure profit — a philosophy that’s helped us win big in the market.
