The embedded operations team for startup founders and senior leaders. We run your executive office, operating cadence and investor readiness with senior judgement and complete discretion, so your time goes on the decisions only you can make.
As the business grows, everything still runs through you: investor follow-ups, board prep, hiring logistics, the project that's slipped and the meeting no one owns. Your time becomes the bottleneck.
Hiring a Chief of Staff or an operations team is slow, expensive and risky. Handing tasks to a virtual assistant just moves the to-do list around.
You don't need more help. You need a department.
A virtual assistant waits for a task list. We take ownership of whole areas of your business and run them like part of your leadership team.
Your calendar, investor pipeline and operating rhythm become our responsibility, so nothing needs chasing.
Experienced operators who know what matters, what can wait and what genuinely needs you.
We use your tools, join your rituals and work to your standards. Your team feels the difference in week one.
From pre-seed founder to Series B leadership team. Add capability without adding headcount risk.
Every engagement starts with one question: what should you stop doing so you can lead? We then take full ownership of those areas, with a dedicated team and a clear operating rhythm.
Your Chief-of-Staff-level partner while you raise, hire and scale.
Senior executive support for leaders with heavy stakeholder load.
A dedicated team that delivers the initiatives your leaders don't have time to run.
A 30-minute conversation about your priorities, pressure points and how you like to work.
We design your engagement around what you need us to own, not a generic package.
We onboard into your tools and rhythms and introduce your dedicated team.
Weekly cadence, clear ownership and a monthly review. You focus on the business.
Our measure of success is simple: more of your week spent leading, and fewer things that depend on you remembering them.
Coordination, logistics and follow-up come off your plate, and stay off it.
Data room maintained, updates sent on time, follow-ups never dropped.
Every action from every meeting is captured, assigned and closed out.
Chief-of-Staff-level support at a fraction of a senior salary, with the flexibility to scale.
A practical worksheet for figuring out exactly what to take off your plate first — the recurring tasks costing you the most focus, and whether they need a VA, a specialist, or a full operations team.
We take ownership of outcomes and whole operating areas, not task lists. Our team brings executive, finance, legal and project experience, and works as part of your leadership team.
A VA executes individual tasks you hand over. A COO owns one function (like revenue or operations) as a permanent senior hire — usually only justified once that function has real standalone complexity. Most founders who come to us are actually looking for something in between: Chief-of-Staff-level support that works across the whole business on your behalf, handling the coordination, follow-through and judgement calls that otherwise bottleneck through you, without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive. On your strategy call, we map where your specific bottleneck actually sits and recommend the level of support that matches it — not a default package.
In practice: owning your inbox and calendar so only decisions that need you reach you, preparing board packs and investor updates ahead of deadline, chasing follow-ups across your team so nothing drops, documenting and running the processes behind a launch or a hire, and acting as a trusted delegate on judgement calls you'd otherwise have to make yourself. It's senior, outcome-owning support — not a longer task list handed to someone less experienced.
No. Our Founder's Office tier is built for exactly this stage — a few hours a week of senior support around your inbox, calendar and investor admin, priced to match. Many of our longest-running clients started here and scaled into Embedded Operations or Executive Operations support as the business (and the operational complexity) grew.
A full-time senior hire usually means a multi-month search, a notice period you're locked into, and a salary you're committed to whether or not the role turns out to be the right shape. Fractional support starts within days, runs on a rolling monthly retainer, and typically costs 40–60% less than an equivalent in-house hire — so you get the judgement and experience of a senior operator while you're still working out exactly what the permanent version of that role should look like.
In as little as 5 days from your strategy call. We onboard into your tools and rhythms and introduce your dedicated team in the first week.
Every engagement starts with a signed NDA, before any access is granted. Access to your tools, inboxes and documents is limited to the people actually working on your account, on a need-to-know basis, and removed the day an engagement ends. See our confidentiality & data handling policy for the full detail.
Yes. Engagements run on a rolling monthly retainer with a 30-day notice period, so you're never locked into more than you need. Scaling up (more hours, an additional specialist, a short-term project push) is usually arranged within a few days; scaling down just needs notice before your next billing date.
Our team is based across Manchester, Accra and Dubai, and we work across all time zones — so your engagement is never limited to a single country's working hours.
Book a 30-minute strategy call. We'll map out what you should stop doing, and show you exactly how we'd take it on.
