As your startup grows, so does its complexity. A tailored Business Operating System (BOS) brings the clarity needed to handle increased operational demands, strategic pivots, team expansion, and financial challenges from $1M to $10M+ ARR. This comprehensive framework ensures your organization is aligned on vision, strategy, and execution, optimizing people, processes, metrics, and tools for sustainable growth.
Our FounderFirst Method involves four phases, with estimated completion depending on the level of collaboration between teams:
Onboarding & Audit: 15-30 days
Operating System Design: 30 days
Integration: 30-60 days
Measuring ROI: 4-6 Months from Inception
Within 90 days, you'll have a crystal-clear strategic roadmap, a tailored operating system that integrates seamlessly with your business, and a sustainable growth engine driving 3x overall growth while maintaining cash efficiency at no extra cost.
Engagement packages start at $5,000 per month. This includes onboarding fees & a custom, high-impact, cost-effective solution for your growth needs at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time COO, COS, or CFO, which can exceed $200k per year (~$17k per month).
No generic “nice to have” solutions or cookie-cutter courses here. Just battle-tested frameworks adapted specifically for your startup's culture and scaling needs. Unlike consultants who often lack an interdepartmental viewpoint, we take an immersive, co-founder-minded approach working closely alongside your executive team through weekly calls, work sessions, and hands-on execution support. Your vision remains our core driver.
The founders we partner with routinely experience what we call The FounderFirst Impact, often involving transformative outcomes like:
✔ 2-3x increase in ARR within 12 months
✔ 30-40% gains in operational efficiency
✔ 50%+ improvement in team alignment
✔ 75%+ attainment of quarterly OKRs
✔ Predictable financials with accurate revenue forecasting
✔Sustainable growth engine maintaining healthy cash flows
We limit the number of founders we work with to ensure impactful partnerships. Ideal partners are growth-focused tech and SaaS startup CEOs with:
✔ $1M+ in ARR
✔ Teams of 10-150 employees
✔ An openness to leveraging outside expertise
✔ A readiness to invest in robust operating systems for scalable growth
