Your trusted partner for impactful startup talent.

As a talent partner, Cultivate tightens up your workplace when it matters most. We are founders ourselves, and we are serious about scaling.

Our Story

Cultivate was founded by Glaze Martillano and Jazmine Parris, two people & talent pros who’ve spent their career helping companies, from startups to Fortune 500s, build teams that actually work.

What began as a passion for crafting exceptional recruiting and people solutions has evolved into a clear mission: to help companies cultivate the teams that drive culture, innovation, and scalable growth.

At Cultivate, Glaze and Jazmine specialize in uncovering and connecting exceptional talent, people who drive impact, spark innovation, and strengthen your team from the inside out. They focus on building partnerships that power faster decision-making, tighter collaboration, and sustained growth.

Meet The Team

Glaze Martillano

Co-Founder

Before co-founding Cultivate, I spent over 15 years in talent acquisition at places like Meta and fintech and B2B tech startups. In those roles, I recruited AI and machine learning engineers before “AI” became the buzzword it is today. The teams I helped build went on to deliver products that scaled rapidly and drove meaningful impact.

I have put a lot of focus into helping companies find success by fostering a culture that tolerates nothing but excellence in hiring. I’ve been an operator first, which shapes how I work with our founders: hands-on, pragmatic, and focused on results.
