People Power For An Autonomous Age

We connect ambitious founders of investor-backed AI startups with the talent that sets their companies apart from the start.

How We Do It

Every AI startup begins with a powerful idea.

But to build momentum, that idea needs a team of rare talent, the kind of people who are hardest to find and even harder to secure.

At Generative, we specialise in helping early-stage AI founders attract the engineers, scientists, and leaders who thrive where innovation moves fastest and the stakes are highest.

What We Do

Helping AI founders win the hardest battle: talent.

The best engineers and technical leaders aren’t just scarce, they’re selective. For early-stage AI startups, securing them early is often the defining challenge of growth. We give founders the edge in attracting and winning the talent that shapes a company’s future.
