Fractional COO, Chief of Staff, and growth advisory for early-stage startups. I helped scale InVision from $0 to $100M+ ARR and have been in the operator seat at a dozen more, including multiple exits.
30 minutes. Your situation, my operator brain. No pitch. No obligation.
Unicorns 🦄 , acquisitions, and a lot of 0-1 in between who I've worked with.
What I do
Operations, process, hiring plans, execution cadence. I build the machine that lets founders focus on product and customers. Bizzabo, Wibbitz, SmartReach, and more.
Best for: Series A-B founders in need to do things right to support growth and scale. Who need someone to own the how so they can own the what.
Founder leverage: decision support, investor and board prep, special projects, the things that fall between every job description. InVision, Type Studio, Bunch, Frontitude.
Best for: CEOs who haven't been on this flight before and need a co-pilot they trust.
GTM, pricing architecture, referral and advocacy mechanics, lifecycle marketing, free-to-paid conversion. The playbooks I ran at InVision and have since applied at dozens of startups.
Best for: Post-launch teams with real users who need the engine that turns love into revenue.
I've spent 15 years early-stage companies grow. I've been the operator behind founders at every stage from 0-1 through acquisition. The plays aren't theory; I've run them over and over because they work.
These days my primary focus is neurodiversity and disability tech. If that's your world, start there instead.

Start where you are. The free call is the door; everything else flows from there.
30 minutes. Your highest-leverage moves. No pitch.
You tell me what's actually going on, not the pitch version. I tell you the 1 thing to focus on now to move your numbers in the next 90 days.
One problem. 60 minutes. You leave unstuck.
Fundraising strategy, pricing, product direction, a possible pivot, referral architecture. 60 focused minutes on the one problem keeping you up at night, and you leave with a plan you can execute.
30-60 days. Clear deliverables. Defined scope.
I build the systems + ops, help define your business strategy, or build your growth plays. No full-time commitment.
A senior operator thinking about your company between sessions: async access, weekly working time, proactive insight. CAC, deal expansion, pricing confidence, referral mechanics, investor growth narrative.
Don't take my word for it. Here's what people who've had the conversation say about what happened after.
"Scott came in like a Mary Poppins figure when we were in most need. A jack of all trades he helped improve every aspect of the business. From GTM strategy, to fundraising to leadership coaching and more. He made 20+ investor introductions, redesigned our app, and rebuilt our team culture. All while fitting in like a glove rather than disrupting what we'd built. Rare to find someone this clear in communication and his breadth of expertise."
"Scott's guidance has been invaluable in our startup's journey, offering battlefield-tested insights and advice drawn from his personal experience of scaling a company from 1 to 10. His hands-on approach and wealth of practical knowledge is something that every startup founder needs!"
"Scott advised Bunch AI on GTM, community, and product strategy for 2 year. And shaped many of our most crucial product decisions. As a founder with 101 problems, I've never brought him 1 he couldn't help with. Not just advice, but the right questions to move me forward. If you get the chance to work with Scott, take it. You'll be better off.
It's Free and without a pitch. Just an honest read on your situation and what will put you back on the path towards success.
