04Who we work with
The ceiling isn't effort.It's the operating system.
You built this on instinct, taste, and hustle, and it worked. What breaks next isn't ambition — it's that every decision still needs the founder in the room.
Stage
$1M – $25M
The revenue band where founder-led service businesses hit the operating ceiling we are built for.
Team
5 – 80
Big enough that decisions cannot all sit with the founder. Small enough that a system you install compounds fast.
Sectors
Services, broadly
Retail and experiential, professional services, agencies, trade services, hospitality, creative studios.
You might recognize yourself if —
Any two of these are true on a normal week.
- 01Ask three people for the KPI and you get three answers.
- 02Reporting takes two days, and nobody acts on it.
- 03You can feel the bottleneck but you cannot name it.
- 04Every quarter opens with new priorities and closes with the old ones.
- 05Growth still runs through the founder's inbox.
Good fit
- You want the system, not a dependency on another consultant.
- Leadership is willing to agree on one set of numbers.
- The founder still has enough hands on the wheel to change how things run.
Poor fit
- You need a deck to justify a decision that's already made.
- Nobody will own a metric once it has their name on it.
- You want staffing for reporting, not a change in how decisions get made.
