The Problem

You're the CEO, the COO, and the person chasing freelancers on Slack

Creator-led businesses hit a ceiling where the founder's operational bandwidth becomes the bottleneck. You can't afford a $150K COO. You shouldn't be doing it yourself.

Project chaos

Tasks fall through cracks. Deadlines slip. Nobody owns the process because the process doesn't exist yet.

Tool sprawl

Notion, Slack, Asana, Google Sheets, a Zapier held together by hope. Your software stack costs money and saves no time.

👥

Freelancer wrangling

You spend 10 hours a week managing contractors who should be managing themselves. That's 10 hours not spent on growth.

How It Works

We plug into your business like a COO who happens to work 5 hours a week

01

Operational Audit

We map your current processes, tools, and team workflows. Identify what's working, what's breaking, and what's missing entirely.

02

Systems & Structure

We build the operational backbone: project management rhythms, tool consolidation, team accountability frameworks, and reporting.

03

Ongoing Management

Weekly ops leadership. We run standups, manage freelancers, track deliverables, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Pricing

One retainer. No surprises.

Flat monthly pricing based on complexity. No hourly billing, no scope creep anxiety, no hidden fees.
