Senior hires need real references.

A senior hire is one of the most expensive decisions a company makes. Most still skip talking to people who actually worked with the candidate.

The listed names are not the ones that matter.

Candidates do not hand you the former boss or peer who thought they were a disaster. The useful calls are blind: former managers, peers, reports, customers who are not on the list.

Dev Ittycheria put it plainly: these are among the most consequential decisions a founder makes, and it is shocking how rarely the people who worked closely with the candidate get called.

We connect you. We do not coach anyone.

Lulu is an intro. We find someone who overlapped with the candidate and put you on a call. We do not run the conversation, write the questions, or prep the reference.

  • 1Email the role and the name. LinkedIn if it is public.
  • 2We look for someone who overlapped. Peer, manager, or report.
  • 3If we have a connect, you get the intro.

Email the candidate and the role.

We'll say within a day if we have a connect. Contact us for pricing.
