From Seed to Series A: The Recruiter Who Became Startups’ Secret Weapon
In this episode of Founders Future, host Jae Encarnacion sits down with Hana Wimberly, founder of Snatch UP, a San Francisco-based recruitment firm revolutionizing startup hiring. With a master's in organizational behavior and over a decade of experience, Hana shares how she’s helped power 1,000+ startups and contributed to 50+ IPOs by bridging the gap between visionary founders and elite talent. She reveals her unique "full-stack recruiting" approach—blending HR expertise, global candidate sourcing, and cultural alignment—to solve the critical pain point of early-stage startups: costly mis-hires that can derail growth.
Hana dives into Snatch UP’s referral-driven growth engine, her philosophy of "gut-driven" talent matching, and how she’s tripled revenue by niching into emerging tech sectors like PropTech and FoodTech. She also drops hard-won wisdom on today’s job market, urging candidates to avoid undervaluing themselves and founders to invest in hires who’ll drive real revenue—not just fill seats. With plans to expand into new verticals while maintaining her 3-5 high-touch client onboarding per month, Hana’s insights are a masterclass in scaling a people-first recruitment powerhouse.
