Intersection Growth Partners

What they do

Intersection Growth Partners sits at the unique intersection of executive recruiting and venture capital. Founded in 2018 by veteran recruiters Scott Fletcher, Hugh Norton-Smith, and Elizabeth Anderson, the firm was established to serve the burgeoning crypto and Web3 ecosystem. Unlike traditional recruiters who operate on a transactional fee basis, Intersection adopts a "skin in the game" philosophy, frequently reinvesting their search fees or deploying capital from their dedicated venture funds (Intersection Crypto Ventures) into their clients. They are known for placing C-suite executives at industry giants like Circle, Coinbase, and Anchorage Digital. Their model creates deep alignment; they don't just find talent for companies, they bet on those companies' long-term success.

What they look for

The firm’s thesis is built on "True Alignment." They believe that by investing their own capital into the companies they recruit for, they align their incentives with the founders they serve. They focus exclusively on the Crypto, Web3, and Fintech sectors, backing companies where they can materially impact growth by building world-class leadership teams.
