execpipe Capital Thought, LLC · Austin, TX
Agent-First exec recruiting

Your CFO seat is empty. The clock started 90 days ago.

execpipe sources executives by walking your network first — built for VC partners who already know the right person, somewhere, and don't have time to remember.

The problem

Exec search has two speeds. $300K retainers that take six months and miss half the time. Or you, at 11pm, scrolling LinkedIn and your own Gmail trying to remember who introduced you to that operator at the Austin dinner in 2024.

The retainer firm doesn't know your network. You don't have time to mine it. The seat stays empty.

The wedge

execpipe is an MCP server, not a dashboard. It plugs into Claude Code or Cursor — agents you already use — and walks your relationship graph before it does anything else. Gmail, HubSpot, calendar, Slack, contacts, Asana. Fifty-plus sources.

Every back-channel reference, every comp datapoint, every 18-month retention outcome is persisted. The next search starts where the last one ended. Structural memory, not vibes.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Describe the seat

    Tell the agent: "Series B fintech, CFO, Austin or remote, IPO experience preferred." It writes the brief back. You correct it.

  2. Step 2

    Mine your own network first

    execpipe walks 50+ sources you've already paid for. Anyone you've emailed, met, or been pitched by surfaces before a single cold name does.

  3. Step 3

    Outreach with receipts

    Drafts the intro. Routes through the warmest path. Logs the reply. Remembers the no — and why — so the next search isn't from zero.

What this isn't

FAQ

I already pay a retainer firm. Why add this?
Keep them. Use execpipe to vet their slate against your own network in 30 seconds. Half the time the firm's "fresh candidate" already lives in your Gmail. You'll know before the second meeting.
What stops you from spamming my contacts?
Suppression table, consent log, and a hard rule that nothing leaves the building without your explicit approval. CAN-SPAM is $51,744 per email. We read the statute before we wrote the schema.
Why won't this just be a Cursor feature in 18 months?
It might be — if Cursor wires up your Gmail, HubSpot, calendar, Slack, contacts, and 18 months of your own back-channel reference notes. That's not a 6-week feature; it's a relationship-graph product with persistent memory at the core. We'd rather be the boring data layer underneath than the chat wrapper on top.

The seat is empty today. It will be empty in 90 days unless someone walks your network harder than you can while running a fund. Run one check on a name you already know — see what comes back. If it isn't obviously useful, you've lost ninety seconds. If it is, your next CFO is already in your Gmail.
