Fractional leadership for startups
We are your dedicated partners in company operations and product development. Our team is here to roll up their sleeves and work alongside you, providing the practical, hands-on support your startup needs to navigate challenges and turn your vision into reality.
We can help you from Day 1 up to Series B, when you are not yet ready to hire a full-time operations specialist,
but already having too much on your plate.
We step in as your Fractional COO and solve your problems hands-on.
We are experienced ex-C-suite leaders in the foodtech and biotech space, where we have founded, built startups and led operations for multiple early stage startups.
After experiencing all sides of the founder’s journey, especially in the zero-to-one phase, we believe we can support founders operate more efficiently and avoid common pitfalls through our shared experiences and difficult lessons learned. Founders often navigate these alone and don’t ask for help or are unsure where to find the right support they need. As startup founders ourselves, we understand this because we have been there.
We are based in the San Francisco Bay Area with wide networks in US, Canada, the UK and Europe.
Our key industry expertise:
We have worked across alternative proteins (plant based, fermentation derived and cultivated) and novel food ingredients spanning early stage R&D to operations scale-up, supply chain, manufacturing and commercialization.
We have helped companies building novel manufacturing chasis, producing innovative new products, building AI for accelerating science, therapeutics and other innovations within the life sciences.
