Stride

We build product teams for NYC startups.

Stride is a recruiting firm run by two former PMs. We help founders hire exceptional product talent through the network and community we've spent our careers building.

Our approach

Our recruiting starts before there's an open role.

We build relationships with strong product people long before they’re looking for their next role. So when a search begins, we’re not starting from zero. We already have the context to know who’s out there, what they’re great at, and who might be right for the opportunity.

  • Product Management
  • Executive Leadership
  • Growth
  • Strategy & Ops
  • Product Marketing
  • Sales
Talent network

Great people are always worth knowing.

You don’t need to be actively searching to be part of our network. We stay close to great product people throughout their careers, share what we’re seeing in the market, and reach out when the right opportunity comes along.

Team

Run by two former PMs.

We spent more than a decade each building products, hiring teams, and working alongside the kinds of people we now recruit. That experience shapes how we evaluate talent, advise founders, and run every search.
