Blueprint to Scale Let’s talk
How we work

Assess. Blueprint. Build.

  1. Assess.

    We start with a stage-specific assessment, or a Founder Clarity Session, to see what’s really happening beneath the surface.

  2. Blueprint.

    You get recommendations, prioritized and aligned to your goals: what to fix first and what can wait. It’s yours to keep, whether or not we continue together.

  3. Build.

    We put the plan into action in the way that fits your stage and budget:

    • Advisory hours: ongoing access to a senior strategist, best for founders or your in-house People lead
    • Project work: defined builds, such as hiring infrastructure, compensation, performance systems, and org design
    • On-site and team sessions: leadership offsites, integration support, and CliftonStrengths workshops
    • The Blueprint Bench: introductions to vetted service providers, platforms, and specialists for needs outside our scope or expertise
Assessments

The smartest place to start

Before you spend on hiring, systems, or consultants, learn exactly where you stand. Our structured, stage-specific assessment is the step we recommend to every client, because it’s how we make sure the work that follows goes after your biggest risks and opportunities first.

We look beneath the surface at your team, structure, compensation, documents, and processes (or the lack of them), and deliver a high-level blueprint aligned with your goals. It shows what to prioritize and what can wait.

It’s also a low-pressure way to see what working with us is like. The blueprint is yours to keep, whether you build it with us, with your in-house team, or with another consultant.

What you walk away with:

  • A clear picture of where your biggest people and compliance risks and opportunities are
  • A tailored blueprint of recommended priorities on where to spend time, money, and resources first, built against your identified needs and goals
  • Introductions to vetted service providers, platforms, and specialists from our expert bench, for needs outside our scope or expertise

The Blueprint Bench

The Blueprint Bench

Introductions to vetted service providers, platforms, and specialists for needs outside our scope or expertise.

Our bench is built from years inside the professional networks founders and investors trust, including Provisors, the Council of Startup Advisors (where Sarah serves as Co-chair), Troop HR, and more. We’re selective about every introduction. We partner with the best, because that’s what the blueprint calls for.
