How we work with Founders & Executives
Phase 1: Diagnose & Hit The Ground Running (3 weeks)
- Full-time embedding with day to day work. Make quick fixes with team
- Understand dynamics and decision-making patterns. Assess founder involvement and delegation points.
- Deliver concrete recommendations and roadmap
Phase 2: Embedded Implementation (1-3 months)
- Lead critical product initiatives to demonstrate better ways of working
- Create clear delegation frameworks for founder oversight
- Identify strong internal candidates to take on partial product leadership responsibilities
- Coach team members on taking on partial or full responsibility for leadership, prioritization, communication and user insight
- Implement minimal, lightweight, automated processes where effective
Phase 3: Exit. You’ll walk away with either
- An empowered team that can drive execution independently
- OR a team superharged on frameworks, heuristics and tools to improve velocity and impact
- Ongoing support for first 1~2 months after exit.
- Longer-term embedded services in some cases, if needed
Who is this for:
- Founders needing to focus more time on fundraising and strategy, thus becoming a velocity bottleneck
- Startups needing product leadership without a full-time hire
- Companies without technical experience looking to build internal product competence without a long-term consulting contract
Compartmentalized Solutions:
We also partner with founders & executives needing help with very specific pain points
- Roadmap Development: You have the vision and maybe even the broad strokes of a strategy but still need a concrete roadmap. We’ll help you through clearly articulating the the end state, the narrative why and how you’ll win and - most importantly - the priorities and steps to get there.
- AI-Enablement: Would you like to get three times the productivity without adding more resources? We’ll work with you and your team to build shortcuts, automations and processes that unlock more impact by letting your team focus on higher-value work.
- Executive Partnership: 2 ~ 4 week in-person, in-depth work with founders & executives to on targeted needs around fundraising, strategy, communication and operational excellence
