What We Do
We modernize workflows behind the introductions that matter.
Talent searches. LP research. Advisor matching. Portfolio founder introductions. Each one runs on the same underlying work — research, sequencing, outreach, follow-up.
Hand Axe takes that work and encodes it into AI workflows specific to how your firm operates. Not a generic tool. A system built around your network, your thesis, and your knowledge. We help you construct the systems so specialist work can start at judgment, not drudge work.
Executive Search
Search professionals have focused work and fragmented systems. Multiple ATSs, CRMs, research tools, manual data entry across all of them. We strip out the drudgery and build the AI layer that lets you start every search at the work that actually requires your expertise.
About
Tyson Bennett spent years inside the work this software was supposed to automate. Executive recruiter. Head of talent at a VC firm. The calls with founders, the partner searches, the LP coordination, the platform mandates that land on one person's desk.
Hand Axe is the practice he built when he realized the tools to execute with perfect memory and automated tasks have arrived. We build AI workflows from the inside out. Specific enough to be useful, simple enough to work with IT.
How It Works
Three steps to leverage AI for VC operators and executive search.
01
Step 1 — Diagnostic call
One hour. $100. We map your current operation, find where the friction is, and identify what AI can realistically do for you.
02
Step 2 — Scoped project
One workflow. One deliverable. Fixed scope, fixed price. You know what you're getting before we start.
03
Step 3 — Ongoing advisory
Bi-weekly calls. Running relationship. Each session finds the next constraint, ships the next workflow, and compounds your specialist knowledge deeper into the system.
Also working with executive search firms.
Similar problem, fragmented systems — multiple ATSs, CRMs, research tools, manual data entry across all of them. Same approach. If that's you, reach out directly.
