We believe founders need access to talent and skills to complement their own, bounce ideas, or simply have time to think and get things done - even when they are not yet ready to commit new headcount. This is why we designed a flexible model, offering up a full C-suite of expertise where and when you need it, and tailored for SaaS, green-tech and fintech companies. Were a team of entrepreneurial advisors and executives, each with 20+ years of leadership experience in the corporate world, and start-up expertise. Together, we bring expertise in marketing, sales, operations and more, available in flexible format to suit your unique needs. We believe that every startup and scale-up needs strong leadership and continuous support. This is why we work together and alongside your team, providing them with systems thinking, collaboration, and genuine commitment to achieve sustainable growth. Our client portfolio is extensive and continues to grow. Weve impacted start up and scale up organisations such as Monzo, Prospa, Palto, TheoryMesh, Camunda, Coral, AQA, Health Compiler, Magna, Emizio, Everlaw, Dig Ventures, Ice, and PHVLO. Some FAQs: Q: Ive never worked this way. How do I know it fits my business? Every engagement starts with an open conversation - we are here to think together, help you assess and define your need, and well match you with a professional with the perfect experience. Our formats are flexible, though well use our frameworks to help you be efficient, giving you speed to market and predictable costs. And well always put customer satisfaction and success first. Q: My company is early stage. Do you accept commission or success fees? We often work with early stage businesses and are open to discussing success fees or even share agreements in the case of fractional work. Drop us line! Were happy to offer tech startup founders, leaders and investors a free 30 minute consultation call. Visit our website for more information!
