How We Work
We take the place of some of your most expensive and hard to find roles. We start immediately, operate as part of your team, and provide our own oversight and leadership.
We operate in our own sprint cadence, so you can see and track all the work being done (same as you would for your own teams).
To keep everyone aligned and informed, we also provide a roadmap and monthly executive updates.
We essentially take private equity concepts of repeatable playbooks (templates + expertise), and apply it in a venture-friendly way that integrates naturally into your startup.

Monthly executive updates & roadmaps
Build it, maintain it, grow it
Expertise Areas
Most venture founders we find are very strong at their Product and knowing their Customer – after all, that’s why you started your business in the first place.
We bring that same level of expertise to your Operations and Capital Structure, making your business not just “a good idea”, but a very attractive investment.
CAPITAL
Fundraising & Exits
Equity & Exits
Investor Readiness
Fundraising success is all about showing up prepared and professional. As part of executive engagements, we help you understand the exact targets you need to hit, by stage, to be investable, simplify a clear narrative, get your pitch decks & diligence ready. Then also ensure you’re hitting clear operating metrics along the way, and have a staffing plan to executive on immediately upon close. We’re best at staffing key roles to you can hit the ground running post-close; and planning & finding eventual exits for you.
Debt Financing
Capital, Debt
Corporate Structure
Equity is meant for building dreams, not for buying assets; and for some near-profitable ventures, possibly bridging growth. If you’re a fit, we’ll bring you real lending options from high quality lending sources (no sleazy lenders; real banks, proper agreements), and advise you on the corporate structure to support it.
GTM, Pricing, Modeling
Revenue
Scalability, Pricing
One of the single biggest challenges we see is setting up scalable pricing, and segmentation strategy for your GTM. If you want to raise now, unit economics and margins matter. We’ll help you build a tangible GTM plan you can sell & scale on, aim towards profitability, and be setup for long-term Y-o-Y growth multiple your valuation expects.
OPERATIONS
Fractional Execs
Hands-On Leadership
Scalability
Our bench of executives and ex-founders are available to augment your C-Suite. When you “need someone that has done this before, and is still hands-on”, that’s our sweet spot. We focus on:
- CTO (leader or mentor)
- COO (scale, $ planning, discipline)
- CISO (security)

AWS DevOps
AWS Cloud
Scalability, Reliability
Cloud infrastructure is the foundation your platform and entire engineer team operate on. When it is done right, you have a scalable, reliable platform for your customers; demo environments & security for sales; and clean & automated to help engineer keep dev velocity up. Don’t waste 6-9 months + recruiter fees; we have this down pat, are ready now, and act as part of your team to setup & run AWS infrastructure & CI/CD.
CISO & Cyber-Security
CISO
Sales Enablement
Sales should never be blocked by security.
Even worse, security diligence usually lands on the CEO or CTO, which is not where you want your time spend.
We come in as your acting CISO, manage your customer-facing security interactions, and rollout & long-term manage your entire security program (Technology, Corporate, & Customer-facing).
Offshoring & Vendors
Reliability

Hybrid approaches to development, both for cost and reliability of the team, is almost becoming the standard now. However, offshores are hard to setup and assess for quality. Work with our short list of proven offshore relationships. We’ve pre-negotiated pricing, contracts, working hours, & security. We’ll show you comparative strengths, and how to blend with local teams.
