About the company
Dover is building the marketplace for startup experts.
We connect high-growth startups with experienced operators: leaders in recruiting, HR, legal, and beyond. Experts know what great looks like and can deliver real business outcomes. We are not just service providers. We are trusted partners who work directly with founders to build and scale companies.
As AI transforms how work gets done, the need for experienced operators who can oversee execution, make judgment calls, and drive results has never been greater. Dover empowers these experts to plug into the most ambitious startups at the moment they need help most.

Marketplace

Recruiting Partners build lasting relationships with companies and embrace the volatility of early-stage hiring.
