A custom hand-curated talent database built over many years in a niche industry. Designers, developers, motion artists, creative technologists, producers, AR/VR, AI talent — each with deep notes, submission history, placement records, rates, skills, and feedback. Every person is matched to similar talent through a proprietary similarity engine. Everything flows into here. Everything is deduplicated. Everything is categorized.
Tons of sources scraped continuously — design galleries, Twitter/X accounts, curated lists, blog posts. AI categorizes each site by metadata and copy. Then goes deeper: who designed it, who developed it, what studio built it. Those people get identified and fed into the database.
Years of stored and scraped portfolios from the database, website galleries, curated lists, blogs, and social posts. A mix of human curation and bot categorization — moving toward a hybrid model where both work together for maximum accuracy.
A Tinder-style tool that surfaces portfolios for rapid human tagging. Swipe, categorize, tag — on the go, on the bus, fast and accurate. Bot pre-categorizes, human confirms. Includes a "reach out to these now" queue for hot talent. Everything re-integrates into the master brain, deduplicated and properly classified.
Daily AI-driven nudges delivered in real time. "You should reach out to this person." "This portfolio just came in — looks like a fit." "You haven't talked to this top-rated designer in 3 months." Proactive, not reactive. The system works while you sleep.
No more scrolling through lists. Ask in plain language: "Show me the top 15 designers we submitted to Nike." "Who are our best-rated developers we haven't talked to in 3 months?" "Find someone like Sarah but who does motion." Instant answers from the entire database, via Slack.
Generate password-protected talent briefs in seconds. "Make me a link for NASA showing everyone we've submitted in the last year." Beautiful, branded, instant. At the bottom: "Want more similar profiles? Powered by our proprietary matching system." Future: paid monthly access with walled-off views of the database.
Persistent listeners running for years — grabbing the best new websites, the best portfolios, tracking who's looking for work, who just went freelance. Now amplified 10x with AI agents that monitor, filter, and surface only what matters. Delivered live, in real time.
A growing suite of purpose-built tools: a curated conferences directory for the industry, a salary/rate tool built on years of stored compensation data, an internal tracker for client needs and role types. Each one feeds back into the ecosystem.
14 years of tracked client data — talent request types, placed talents, rates, freelance vs. fulltime splits, fees, and more. All searchable, all connected. Turn historical placement intelligence into real-time business insight.
As we've done for a handful of clients already, we can spit out a pw protected sample in a matter of minutes. Lets go.
