Hiro builds developer tools that unlock the full potential of Bitcoin through smart contracts, digital assets, and decentralized applications. We’ve worked with their team to find leadership talent before, so when a new seat opened up on their board, they returned to Bolster to find an independent director who would be an active participant in their growth.
We offered guidance as the team determined the scope of the search, decided on the traits that were truly necessary for candidates to have, and considered board compensation. This process establishes the parameters of the search and often makes space for top candidates who might not otherwise come up in discussion.
Hiro was looking for someone with extensive cryptocurrency experience. While the ideal candidate would have a robust network in the crypto space, their expertise and familiarity with the ecosystem were more important than prior board roles—a stance we often encourage.
They came to us for one independent director, but found two fantastic candidates. Instead of choosing, Hiro was able to bring both of them onto the board, adding twice the expertise and talent, and increasing their growth opportunities.
“We've worked with Bolster multiple times over the past 3 years because they've repeatedly been the best partners for executive recruiting. Between their innovative model, the depth of expertise, their partnership, and the general ease of the process, they're my favorite group to work with when it comes to adding new executive talent.”
