How We Helped Rewump Scale Investment & Incubation Teams Across Web3 and AI
Rewump is an investment management company operating as a business incubator for early-stage Web3 and AI startups. Alongside capital, Rewump provides founders with critical operational support across HR, legal, and finance, enabling portfolio companies to focus on building products and scaling innovation. As the incubator expanded its investment activities and internal operations, Rewump needed to strengthen its leadership and operational teams. The challenge was to hire senior, domain-specific talent with deep exposure to Web3, AI, and investment ecosystems, while maintaining speed and consistency across multiple parallel roles. OnHires partnered with Rewump as an embedded recruitment partner to design and execute a structured, multiregional hiring program. We worked closely with leadership to define role-specific success profiles, align stakeholders on expectations, and build targeted sourcing strategies for executive, HR, marketing, and operational positions. By introducing calibrated scorecards, structured interview flows, and weekly hiring operations, OnHires helped Rewump reduce time-to-hire while improving candidate quality. The result was a repeatable hiring model that supports Rewump’s long-term incubation strategy and enables faster team formation as new startups and investment initiatives emerge.

Background
Rewump is an investment management company operating as a business incubator for early-stage Web3 and AI startups. Beyond capital, the company provides founders with essential back-office infrastructure, including HR, legal, and financial support, allowing portfolio companies to focus on product development and innovation.
As Rewump expanded its incubation activities, the leadership team needed to build internal capabilities across strategy, operations, HR, and go-to-market functions. Hiring had to move fast while maintaining a high bar for seniority, domain expertise, and execution.
That’s where OnHires stepped in.
