Case Study: How Kapor Capital scaled portfolio hiring with unified people intelligence from Findem
Key results
The challenge
Kapor Capital supports 100+ portfolio companies with a platform team of one, and wanted to shift from reactive recruiting to proactive talent partnership while quantifying its impact. LinkedIn Recruiter costs were rising as result quality dropped, and hours were spent building Boolean strings for niche roles with weak accuracy.
The solution
Kapor Capital adopted Findem as a unified people intelligence platform spanning a job board, talent network, sourcing, and research, with access to 800M+ expert-labeled profiles. Findem Studio was used inside Claude via MCP for live sourcing on founder calls, with market-mapping data to ground founder conversations.
“With Findem as a unified people intelligence platform, I can be more proactive and consultative with my portfolio companies. I don't need to wait for the ask anymore.”
