For Founders

You built the prototype.
Now build the operation.

You closed the round but now operations became your full-time job — on top of the actual job of building what you signed up for. You don't need someone to explain the problem. You need someone who can take accountability for outcomes now.

Where Founders Get Stuck

Recognise any of these?

  • The founder is the bottleneck Supplier calls. Quality loops. Hiring. Gate reviews. Production scheduling. All landing on you, because there's no one else yet. The product development suffers, the team feels it and investor pressure rises with every report.
  • The ops team doesn't exist yet You know you need to hire. You know the roles roughly. But finding, vetting and onboarding the right people takes time you don't have. And the cost of a wrong hire at this stage isn't just financial.
  • Investor pressure is building The updates are going out, but the clarity in them is thinner than it was six months ago. They're starting to question it. The gap between what you're reporting and what's actually on track is quietly widening.
  • The transition from builder to leader is harder than expected Not because you can't do it but because you have no space to do it. Every day spent deep in building a prototype while doing operational execution is a day you're not building the leadership layer your company needs to scale.

How I Work

I am not a consultant. I own my part and am member of the team.

I step in immediately, take the operational layer where it lacks capacity and build the team and structure that will own it after I leave. You get your focus back. Your investors get visibility. Your team gets aligment.

I make decisions, take accountability for outcomes and am transparent to everyone who needs to see it. The engagement ends when the permanent structure is in place, usually after 4 to 8 months.

Also Worth Knowing

Your investor can book the Accelerator for your cohort

If your investor is looking at operational readiness across a portfolio cohort, the Hardware Execution Accelerator is a five-day onsite sprint where up to eight startups build operational muscle simultaneously — requirements, risk management, skills gaps, production ramp readiness. You attend as a startup. Your investor books it.

If that sounds relevant, point them to the programme page or ask them directly.
