Operating partner for founder-run companies, $3M to $30M

You know what needs to happen. We get it done.

Every critical project needs you. When nobody on your team is able, we put a dedicated operator inside your business to deliver, at a price you name.

Where business stalls

Somewhere past $3M, effort stopped turning into output.

Every decision that matters routes through you. The projects that would change your year are quarters behind.
Deadlines slip, quarters come in low, and key people leave. Each one reveals how much work is single-threaded through you.
Your team is busy with important work. But they're not a team you can point at the hardest problems and let loose. So the most critical work waits for you. While you're running the whole company. That's the gap.
A consultant will admire and analyze the gap in an expensive deck. A new senior hire spends on headcount before the problem is solved.

You're not short on effort. You're short on traction.

A dedicated operator.

One person. One thing. Finished.

Traction is when effort turns into movement, and movement turns into a business that runs without you in every decision. It starts with one thing finished.

We take one critical, stalled project and get it done. One person. Not a team, not a rotation, not a deck. The deliverable is finished work: the pricing changed, the account recovered, the initiative shipped, the margin found.

We don't spend a season billing you to get up to speed. We're inside your business in week one. Twenty years across cash-flow businesses and venture-backed startups means we know how to make an impact right away.

The work runs through your team, not around it, and the person who runs your day to day is on the first call. Keep running the company. We'll run one thing until it works and hand it back better.

How it starts

Two ways to get started.

Bring us one stalled project, or plug us in wherever you need us. Either way, you name the goal and the price.

A project.

One stalled, critical thing. Four to twelve weeks. One P&L result.

A partner.

An operating partner plugged in wherever you need us, for as long as it earns its keep.

One call. Tell us what needs to happen and what it's worth to you. We only take work if we believe it moves your P&L.

If we can't, we'll say so, fast.Long-term engagements are earned, not proposed.

Long-term relationships

Where partnership earns its keep.

The first project proves our model. And your business learns to finish things without you pushing each one across the line.

Focus through subtraction.

Growth from finishing fewer things with more force. We'll tell you what to stop, with the numbers beside it.

Evidence over instinct.

The next stage runs on numbers your gut doesn't have: where money is made and lost, by customer, by product, by channel.

A rhythm that finishes.

Long-horizon goals, short commitments you keep, and a calendar that closes things instead of opening them. Priorities finish instead of start.

Record

The CEO chair, and every chair beside it.

With more than twenty years in leadership, operations, tech and sales; from cash-flow businesses to venture-backed startups. The same pattern every time: the companies that moved finished fewer things with more force, and someone had to be inside the business to make it happen.

Whether this is a fit

A plateau is not a pause. The longer you sit, the harder it is to leave. Flat years compound. The best people go. Your hours erode with mundane tasks.
Leaving the plateau starts with one thing finished.

You are

Founder-run, $3M to $30M, any industry.
Clear on what needs to happen, short on someone to do it.
Willing to open the numbers and to stop doing things.
Looking for the thing finished, not described.
Ready to have the person who runs your day to day on the first call.

This isn't for

Businesses under $1M. Companies above $30M, or with institutional capital.
Anyone who wants a deck and no follow-through.
Owners content at their size.

Already working with a coach? Good. Keep them. We do what the two of you agreed.
