Connecting startups with transformational leadership

The right hires don’t just fill roles—they define your future.

The transitions from Seed to Series A to Series B are the most critical inflection points for your company. Many early-stage companies have built an innovative product, but struggle to scale effectively because they lack the right leadership team. Founder Services was created to solve this challenge.

Founder Services

Bridging the talent gap between vision and scale

At Landing Point, we represent financial leaders who can speak to investors, manage rapid growth, and build the infrastructure for long-term success.

We place high-impact CFOs and Controllers within startups—a natural extension of Landing Point’s legacy in building world-class finance teams.

Our network of Wall Street-seasoned executives bring deep investor relationships and financial acumen that are crucial for early-stage startups navigating growth, funding, and profitability.

Career-long relationships + a track record with iconic companies

Founder Services is led by J. Patrick Gorman, a startup recruiting expert with more than 20 years of experience helping early-stage founders hire leadership teams. His track record includes placements at Nubank, Loft, Uber, PayPal, Genial Care, Neon, and QuintoAndar.

Combined with Landing Point’s decades-long relationships with financial candidates, we have unparalleled access to both experienced and “next gen” finance leaders. After all, most of the candidates we work with have been with us since their junior accountant days. We’ve guided them through every step of their career, and they’re just a phone call away.

Hiring & job search resources

Career Advice

When working with a recruiter, you already have an experienced advocate in your corner — someone who understands your background, goals, and target markets. But while your recruiter is doing targeted outreach and managing opportunities on your behalf, there are additional steps you can take to amplify those efforts and strengthen your overall job search strategy.

Career Advice

When I work with candidates who are deep in their job search, it’s common to hear how overwhelming the process can be while still balancing their full-time position.

Hiring Advice

As we head into 2026, hiring managers should be re-evaluating compensation strategies to remain competitive in an evolving market. Whether you’re hiring your first team member or managing a large department, compensation discussions shape your ability to attract, secure, and retain top talent. 

Stick the landing.
