A company rapidly built out its leadership team.

## When it fires

<Card title="Trigger condition" icon="bolt">
  ≥ 2 `c_suite_hire` events AND ≥ 1 `vp_hire` event within 90 days.
</Card>

## Magnitude

High, a common pre-funding or pre-IPO pattern.

<Note>
  For the full bucket definitions used across percentage-based signals, see [Magnitude buckets](/buying-signals/concepts/magnitude-buckets).
</Note>

## Why it matters

This is a common pre-funding or pre-IPO pattern, and a great proactive signal. When a company adds multiple executives and a VP in a quarter, it's professionalizing leadership ahead of a major event, often a raise or IPO, and those new leaders bring fresh tooling mandates.
