Operational Engineering
We embed inside your startup, find the bottleneck, and fix it — side by side with your team. Every engagement ends with documented systems your team owns forever.
First conversation is free · No retainers · Outcome-based pricing
What makes us different
Most advisory ends with a deck. We start where the deck ends.
Recommendations that live in a document.
We implement alongside you — nothing handed off cold.
Discovery phases that last months.
We identify the bottleneck in the first session.
Advice from someone who hasn't been inside a startup.
We've operated under real constraints, with real P&L, at real scale.
Solutions your team has to figure out alone.
We work inside your operation — not above it.
Retainers that keep going regardless of results.
We leave when the problem is solved. Outcome-based pricing.

Operational background
How we work
Every engagement is project-based — focused on a specific operational problem. We go in, fix it, document everything, and leave.
Principles
You bring the problem.
No deck required. No prep needed. Tell us what's stuck — in 15 minutes we'll know if we can help.
We map the bottleneck.
First session is diagnostic. We ask hard questions. We challenge assumptions. We form a hypothesis — based on your context, not a generic framework.
We work weekly, side by side.
45-minute sessions. We don't give homework and disappear. We do the work alongside you — analysis, implementation, iteration. Every week.
Every session ends with a next step.
Nothing is theoretical. Every session produces something actionable for the next 7 days. No open loops.
You own everything when we leave.
All documentation. All systems. All processes. Fully in your hands. When the problem is solved, we're done — not when the retainer runs out.
Who we are
We're not advisors who studied operations. We're operators who have built, broken, and fixed real startups — under real constraints, with real consequences.
We work with a small number of startups at a time — by design. Because the only way this works is if we're genuinely embedded. Not advising from a distance. Inside.
What we're not
Operational background
Built and operated a marketplace from zero — supply chain, operations, P&L, in multiple markets simultaneously.
Scaled operations at Rappi (YC-backed) — reduced onboarding from 2 months to 2 weeks across multiple cities.
Automated payment processes from 4 hours to 2 minutes in a live production environment.
Led teams through pivots, fundraising rounds, and hypergrowth chaos — with limited capital and no room for error.
Implemented ERP systems, AI-native workflows, and operational frameworks that stayed in production.
