​Whetstone Search Partners was founded in 2024 after a few experienced search professionals at larger firms who realized that deep sector expertise and specialization would result in superior results for both clients and candidates. In particular, the technology sector and technology-related investment sector presented a challenge for generalist search firms, who sometimes had difficulty conveying the nuances of roles or candidate skillsets. After over one year of ideation and brainstorming, eventually these insights led to the formation of Whetstone, a sector-specialist boutique search firm focused on matching the highest quality candidates for bespoke searches for unique opportunities.

​

Whetstone Search Partners derives its name from the "whetstone," a tool used to sharpen blades and increase their effectiveness. Just as a whetstone hones the edge of a blade, we refine and elevate talent to meet the precise needs of our clients, ensuring the best possible fit for every opportunity. The name symbolizes our commitment to precision, preparation, and the continuous pursuit of excellence in matching exceptional candidates with high-impact roles. At Whetstone, we believe that the right guidance and insight can sharpen potential, creating transformative outcomes for individuals and organizations alike.
