January 2024 — First test, first success

Naboo trusted us with a key first hire: an Engineering Manager to strengthen their tech team.

Clear need, smooth alignment: mission accomplished.

September 2024 — Set course for growth

In the middle of preparing a €20M fundraising round, Naboo came back to us to build a team ready to scale.

The brief:

• 1 VP Engineering
• 1 Tech Lead
• 3 Senior developers

The goal: lay the foundations of a solid tech organization, capable of supporting the acceleration.

Shared thinking, custom-built execution

Through our discussions, the founding team started questioning:

Do we really need a VP right now? Is it the right timing? The right profile?

Rather than just executing the plan as-is, we took the time to ask the right questions together:

• What responsibilities, short-term and medium-term?
• What level of autonomy is expected?
• What structure can support growth without disrupting the existing team?

A shared conviction emerged: go step by step.

Bet first on Engineering Managers close to the code, capable of leading projects and structuring the team incrementally.

Results:

• 1 Tech Lead hired
• 3 Senior developers hired
• 1 Engineering Manager placed (the second was hired by another agency)

What makes the difference?

We didn't just check boxes.

We supported a strategic conversation, bringing an outside perspective and concrete advice.

And sometimes, the best hire is the one you choose not to make.
