Build a business that doesn't need you holding it together
We help ambitious women founders of ecommerce and productised service businesses grow their profit, build a team that leads, and get their time and energy back.
Why your business feels heavier the more it grows
You've built something real, it's profitable, your team respects you, and the systems mostly work. But you're still the one holding it all together, still in the day-to-day, and if you stopped tomorrow the business would stop with you. Growth has slowed and you can't quite put your finger on why.
So you've tried the obvious things. You've hired an assistant, you've googled systems and found nothing but software, maybe you've had a consultant hand you a strategy and leave you to work out how to do it. And it hasn't changed much, because what you need is a system, not more software, and someone in it with you, not more advice.
It isn't a failing on your part
You started your business because you're exceptional at what you do, not because you wanted to be an operations manager. Every founder hits a ceiling where the business needs something different from her, and it's not more hours. That's where we come in.
How we take your business from holding on to humming
For 12 months we embed ourselves into your business as your collaborator and pseudo business partner. We pull up our sleeves, show up to the meetings, manage the projects and do the work alongside your team, across four areas that most consultants treat separately:
Business and sales strategy so every decision you make is intentional and commercial
People and team leadership so your doers become drivers, with clear roles, KPIs and room to lead
Operations and systems design
so your systems stop working in silos and start working for the whole business
Founder support so you can step out of the doing and into the role only you can play
