Get back to growth.
For founders and leaders whose company was growing, then stalled, and who are out of answers. We get in the weeds with you until you're moving again.
See what's really stuck
Decide what to ignore
Move together again
Scaling past your first big raise brings problems you haven't seen before.
When…
sales are growing, but delivery is slowing,
adding people hasn't helped,
your growth targets look less achievable every month, and
your team is telling itself a story nobody quite believes...
then you're in a consequential moment.
That's when we're most useful.
You don't need high-level advice. You need partners who will get in the weeds with you and your team.
How we work: we start with two questions
How do you know where you're going?
How will you know when you get there?
Clear outcomes
Action with Traction
We help your team focus on the few outcomes that matter most, so effort turns into results at the lowest cost.
Fewer, better decisions
Ignore or defer
We help you agree on what's safe to ignore and what's safe to defer, so everyone can put their energy where scaling needs it.
Moving together
Cohesion and Coherence
We help shape how your team works, so people can act without waiting to be told and move smoothly together as you grow.
From stalled to scaling in three steps
1
We learn where you're going
We get to know you, what you've learned on the way, and where you need to get to next.
2
We find what's stuck
We sort through what isn't working, decide what to tackle first, and agree on where to start.
3
You get back to growth
We work alongside you and your team until the new way of working holds on its own.
Who we're not for
We're probably not the right fit if you want relief rather than change, if you're looking for a report to hand the board, or if you already know the answer and want someone else to announce it.
Two operators who have been in your seat
We've built factories, scaled startups, and turned around programs others had given up on. We met at Western Digital, when a ten-minute call turned into an hour and a half, and we've worked together ever since.
Alex Bould
Founder | Funder | Fixer
Twenty years of turning around work that had stopped moving, from enterprise programs to early-stage startups. Two-time co-founder.
“I cannot put it more simply than this: Alex is one of the smartest and most competent people I have ever worked with.”
Dan Murphy
Clarity | Focus | Growth
Five startups, a factory, and four software companies. Built a 500,000 square foot factory in ten months. Former Chief Product Officer at Hi Marley.
“The programs that Dan has developed have profoundly improved the productivity of product engineering at Maxtor and Seagate corporations.”
The stories behind the numbers
-
25%+
Growth that beat the plan. Quantum focused on its highest-value customers first and made feature delivery 80% faster. Revenue growth beat target quarter after quarter.
-
20x
From seed to Series B. As Hi Marley's Chief Product Officer, Dan helped build the team, product, and culture behind 20x valuation growth.
-
10 months
From first piling to first shipment. SanDisk had struggled to integrate two SSD acquisitions. Dan built the operation for the third inside a new 3,000-person factory that shipped its first card ten months after breaking ground.
A story from the field
Three days. 150 engineers.
At a global hardware company, a critical program had run for two and a half years without a working product. We didn't roll out a plan. We put the work on the wall, and twelve engineers chose what they'd lead and who they'd lead with.
Four weeks later, it was running tests that had never run before.
What happens next
Twenty minutes. No pitch.
Pick a time
Twenty minutes, no preparation needed.
We listen
And ask two questions about where you're going.
An honest answer
On fit, even if it isn't us.
What got you to Series A won't get you to Series B and beyond.
When teams struggle to perform at scale, runway disappears fast. Let's talk before it does.
You'll talk with Alex or Dan directly, not a sales team.
