A fractional Chief of Staff for B2B founders building between $0 and $5M ARR. One operator, embedded in your week, shipping the work blocking your next milestone — not pitching it from a deck.
Active Chief of Staff at a venture-backed B2B SaaS company shipping ML infrastructure into Fortune 500 pharma and chemical R&D teams. The work I do for clients is the work I do day-to-day — on a smaller surface area, with sharper focus.
Most early-stage founders don’t need another agency.
They don’t need a coach. They don’t need a $200K Chief of Staff hire their runway can’t justify yet.
They need one operator who walks into the chaos, picks the three things that matter most, and ships them this week.
Then ships three more next week.
That’s the entire offer.
Engagements scope what you actually need. Not all five. Most founders start with two or three.
Positioning, ICP, messaging, sales process, pipeline cadence, deal review. The narrative your sales team actually closes with — plus the system to run it weekly.
Website, content, SEO, paid acquisition, lifecycle, brand. Shipped weekly. Measured monthly. Built to compound — not pitched in decks.
The weekly leadership rhythm that turns chaos into compounding execution. OKRs, dashboards, hiring loops, and the tool stack you forgot you were paying for.
Monthly updates that get read. Board prep that doesn’t ambush you. Data rooms that don’t embarrass you. The narrative for your next round, ready before you need it.
The work that disappears off your plate so you can build. Email triage, calendar architecture, decision frameworks, async briefs, pre-reads. The senior layer between you and the noise.
What’s actually broken. What’s worth fixing first. Whether this engagement makes sense for both of us.
Stack review, funnel review, ops cadence, team. Written diagnosis with the three things to change first.
Embedded in your tools. Weekly cadence. One live call. Async the rest. Real deliverables in your tools by Friday.
Continue, expand, narrow, or end clean. No retainer drift. No legacy contracts.
No account managers. No project managers. No handoffs. You email me, I reply.
Real deliverables in your tools by Friday. Not pitch decks. Not status updates.
Three founders maximum. When seats are full, the waitlist opens. No exceptions.
If you’re wrong, you’ll hear it. The job is outcomes, not agreement.
Pricing is published. Scope is fixed. The only thing we negotiate is which package fits where you actually are.
A senior audit of your operating surface. Two-week sprint. Written diagnosis. No commitment beyond.
Best for founders unsure where to focus next. Or before you commit to a retainer.
Senior operator embedded in your week. Strategic execution. Ten hours of focused weekly leverage.
Best for pre-seed and seed founders, $0–$1M ARR.
Full Chief of Staff coverage. Hands-on execution. The closest thing to a senior in-house operator without the W-2.
Best for seed / Series A, $1–$5M ARR, fundraise prep.
For post-Series A founders who need more than 20 hours and want a single operator running it. Multi-quarter scope. Co-piloting through a fundraise. Multiple growth channels owned end-to-end. Direct line to founder.
No ramp-up theater. No "discovery phase" that bills you for two months of nothing. Real deliverables, week one.
This isn’t aspirational — this is the actual cadence. If we get to Week 02 and Week 01 didn’t produce a written diagnosis, the engagement isn’t working. We’d rather know fast.
Active engagements are confidential by default. The work below is anonymized — company stage and outcomes are real.
Operating across product strategy, GTM, sales operations, compliance, hiring, investor communications, and vendor coordination for a deep-tech B2B SaaS company. The full operator surface of an early-stage company.
Operator. Shipping today.
The work I do for clients is the work I do every day — on a smaller surface area, with sharper focus.
I run a live operating surface inside a venture-backed B2B SaaS company every week — product strategy, GTM, ops, hiring, investor comms, and the work that holds it all together. The pattern recognition, the muscle memory, the network: compounding in real time, not summarized in a deck.
That’s why the roster is capped at three. COS-level work doesn’t scale to ten clients — it scales to relationships, embedded context, and weekly execution. If you need someone to walk into the chaos, run your week, and ship the things blocking your next milestone — let’s talk.
An agency sells you a scoped service — a website, a campaign, a logo — with a project manager between you and the work. I’m one operator embedded in your weekly rhythm. Marketing happens, but inside a broader engagement covering hiring, board prep, and ops cadence. You pay one retainer instead of six vendors.
Most consultants advise. I ship. The deliverable isn’t a deck or a strategy doc — it’s the live website, the published content, the running pipeline review, the sent investor update. I’ll write the strategy if you need it, but I’d rather have it built and tested by Friday.
For pre-Series A and early Series A teams: yes. Most early-stage founders don’t need 40 hours of COS work; they need 10–20 hours of senior judgment and execution. When your team grows past 25 people, you’ll want a full-time COS. I’ll help you hire them.
Sometimes. I prefer companies with a working product, paying customers, or a credible round closing. Pre-product engagements are usually scoped as a one-time Diagnostic Sprint rather than a fractional retainer.
Whatever you already use. Slack, Linear, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, Webflow, GitHub, AWS, Figma. Tool-agnostic by default. I’ll push back hard if your stack is the actual problem.
Because COS-level work doesn’t scale beyond that. The value is in being present, embedded, and aware of your context in real time. At ten clients, that becomes status reports. At three, it’s the work.
We re-scope. Continue, expand, narrow, or end clean. About half of engagements continue past the minimum. The other half wrap with a clean handoff to whoever you’ve hired in the meantime — often someone I helped you find.
The intro call is built to figure that out fast. If we’re not a fit, you’ll get an honest no in 30 minutes — and usually a referral to someone better suited. The capped roster means I have no incentive to take engagements that don’t produce outcomes.
Thirty minutes. No pitch deck, no pre-work. Tell me what’s broken — I’ll tell you whether I can fix it, what package fits, and whether we’re a match. If we’re not, you’ll get a referral.
