The challenge

Post Series A, Seatfrog needed to increase Product and Engineering capacity while retaining the high level of talent density of the founding team and first hires from their network.

What Scene built

Scene was introduced by an investor and partnered directly with the Founder, making a series of key hires across Product, Engineering, and Data.

The outcome

These hires enabled Seatfrog to close a successful Series B and grow from a single-product challenger business to a high-performing multi-product market leader. Three of the six people on the Series B investor deck were Scene placements, and business has grown almost 900% since Scene engaged.
