EQUIPPING FEMALE FOUNDERS
Female Founders are under-estimated, under-funded, and under-supported

MEET AMY YORK
A Letter From the Founder
Her Scout is a search firm and a passion project.
I’m Amy York, the founder of Her Scout. For the past 15 years, I’ve recruited and built talent teams in the fast-moving world of tech startups. Along the way, one thing became impossible to ignore: most search firms were led by men, and most of the leaders I was hired to recruit for were men too.
Then the pandemic hit, forcing millions of women out of the workforce. Around that same time, I became a mom to a little girl. Those two forces collided for me in a profound way. Professionally, I was watching women disappear from pipelines, and personally, I was raising a daughter in a world where leadership still looks overwhelmingly male. It was a wake-up call - the system wasn’t built for us, and if nothing changed, my daughter might face the same barriers I had seen for years.
Her Scout exists because female founders deserve partners they can trust. Partners who will genuinely be in their corner. As a search partner and a female founder, I understand both the challenges and the opportunities in front of us. Her Scout takes a thoughtful, partnership-driven approach to recruiting that gives leaders back their most valuable resource, time, while delivering the exceptional talent they need to grow and thrive.
At its core, this is personal for me. Her Scout is more than a search firm; it’s my commitment to helping women lead boldly, hire brilliantly, and change the face of leadership.
