Bearhug Recruiting

Bearhug Recruiting is a boutique executive search firm focused on inflection-point human architecture. We partner with two distinct ecosystems: • Founder-led Human Performance Brands scaling from ~$30M to $300M+ • Environmental Tech startups with PMF scaling up from $3M to $30M+ In both environments, the pattern is familiar. The business has momentum. The stakes rise. The margin for error shrinks. The next phase will not be unlocked by effort alone. It will be unlocked by the right leadership. Our work spans Digital, Ecommerce, Growth, Commercial, Product, Finance, and C-suite roles. From building structured product development organizations at $80M outdoor brands to installing first-time GTM leaders in Seed-stage AI companies preparing to commercialize, we help founders strengthen the leadership architecture before the next growth phase or capital event. Every search begins from zero. Full market mapping. Structured intake and calibration. Disciplined evaluation. High-touch engagement with leaders who are not actively looking and who ignore generic outreach. Our Performance Partnership model ties incentives to outcomes. Milestone-based billing. Limited capacity. No more than three active searches per partner. We do not recycle networks. We build the team required for what comes next. Competitive advantage is still a who, not a what.
