Pre-seed and Seed
Your first engineers set the culture and the codebase. A miss here costs months of runway. We find builders who can own a product end-to-end.

Swedish startups,
without the guesswork.
Futuris places software engineers at VC-backed startups and scale-ups in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Seed to Series B. Honest calibration, a deep network in a thin market, and 13 years doing nothing else.

01 / For companies
Hiring risk changes
at every stage.
The cost of a wrong hire depends on where you are. We shape every search around it.
Series A
You're scaling from a handful of engineers to a real team. We help you move fast without lowering the bar.
Series B
Now it's senior, specialist and leadership hires the Swedish market barely has. We know who they are and what it takes to move them.
02 / How we work
A clear process.
No loose ends.
- 01
Calibrate
We pin down what great looks like for your team, stage and stack before a single profile is sent.
- 02
Search
Sweden's engineering pool is thin. We already know who is real, who is open, and who will actually move.
- 03
Shortlist
Every candidate is scored against your criteria with a clear verdict. If someone isn't right, we say so.
- 04
Close
We stay close through offer and notice period, so the hire actually starts.
Why Futuris
Small by design.
Focused by choice.
Honest calibration
We would rather send you two right candidates than ten maybes.
Pure focus
Software engineering. Swedish startups. Nothing else.
Founder-led
You work directly with Roger, not a junior account manager.
03 / For engineers
