To install FoundationOS and hand it to your team
Why your company feels slower every month
You raised the round and shipped the product, and now every software purchase routes through your inbox, new hires sit idle for days because no one provisioned a laptop, and a board member just asked about operational readiness with no good answer to give.
That's founder dependency, and it's not a leadership problem, it's an infrastructure problem, which means it can be built.
What founder dependency costs
Wondering whether your company has become founder-dependent?
Take the 3-minute assessment →The Build
In 90 days, the systems, ownership, and institutional knowledge your company needs are built into the business, trained into your team, and working before I leave.
Ninety Day Build Map
Month 1 - See It
I audit the operating layer, surface where work still depends on the founder, clarify ownership, and identify the systems creating drag, risk, or unnecessary cost.
Month 2 - Build It
I build the systems your team needs to operate independently, from hiring and onboarding to decision rights, SaaS governance, and documentation.
Month 3 - Make It Hold
I document, train, test, and hand off the operating system so your team can run it without me, and without everything coming back to you.
Who builds it
I was employee 6 at Group14 Technologies, in the door before the office had furniture, and an early operator at Lindy AI, building the operating layer for a fully remote team moving at the speed AI companies move.
Those two builds became the foundation for FoundationOS: the 90-day system I now install inside post-seed and Series A companies.
Proof of Capability
Group14 Technologies · Employee 6
I came in before the office had furniture. I left when the company had more than 200 employees, and on exit my role was split across four senior hires, which is a fair measure of how much operational surface area one early ops person covers.
Read the Group14 case study →Lindy AI · Early Operator
A fully remote AI startup moving at a speed most organizations cannot sustain. I built the operational layer that matched the product team's velocity - global hardware inventory, automated provisioning, SaaS consolidation, and a hiring pipeline that closed in under two weeks. The company now runs at high seven figures in annual revenue, and the systems I installed are still in place.

FoundationOS is a fixed 90-day build. Companies invest $10,000 per month for three months, with a total engagement of $30,000.
