Sander Duncan
Founder and Managing Partner, Sespe Health Holdings
Aequitas is my first call on the talent front across a portfolio of 30+ companies with diverse and dynamic personnel needs. Our partnership has ranged from finding a cofounder for a pre-seed idea, to a COO for a scaled Series B platform. But it's in between our formal engagements where Tim and his team distinguish from merely tactical firms. Always a strategic thought partner to me as an investor, Tim is a consistent and reliable element of my framework for what the market is doing today and where it's heading - that's where we’ve built trust and why I keep picking up the phone to call them.

VP, Talent, Shields Health Solutions
Over the last few decades, I have worked with all the top Executive Search firms, and I can honestly say that Aequitas is one of the best executive search partners I have ever worked with. They have an amazing reach in the Healthcare / PE space, are highly collaborative, and operated as an extension of our team. They have a robust and thorough screening process which yielded top talent for our organization, and they really spent the time to understand our business needs to identify the best candidate for our organization. They are truly one of the best and I would welcome the opportunity to partner with them again.
