Hey, I’m Megan.
I help mission-driven technical founders who are overcoming individual heroics thoughtfully build operational momentum and maturity to successfully scale.
As a technical founder you started your journey with a great idea. You want to focus your energy on your company “why” and bringing your product or technology to life. But you are starting to get worried about “how” this thing is all going to come together.
My job is the how.
The need
The Fractional advantage
Early operations involves different activities than ongoing operations. I specialize in the type of operations you need to build in the early stages of company development.
For example, you are building your first team, and this involves not only hiring but also organizational design. How will the team work together? How will we structure their relationship for success? Sometimes we might even hire specific roles we need to “build” that will be different than long-term “doer” roles we hire in later stage operations.
Before you have steady MRR or ARR it can be hard to justify a full-time operations leader; and the person you will need full-time is a different skillset than you need now.
Fractional operations brings a specialized skillset for your specific needs, tailored to your budget, and on a shorter-term commitment than a full-time hire.
