Stay ahead without

the C-suite overhead

A growth sprint is a focused 3-4 month engagement designed to tackle one high-impact challenge blocking your scale. Each sprint has clear deliverables, measurable ROI, and a defined endpoint. You get C-suite expertise without the long-term commitment or full-time expense. We identify the bottleneck, execute the solution, and leave you with systems that keep working after the engagement ends.

The engagement starts with getting critical information from you, understanding what you're wanting to achieve and how your company works so we can execute in a way that aligns with your vision. Scott only requests the time that's essential; this isn't about creating more meetings. From there, we dive into your operations, talk with your team, and review systems to pinpoint what needs to be executed. ASAP you'll have a clear action plan with prioritised opportunities and expected timeline and ROI. No lengthy discovery phases or billable "getting to know you" time.

Most consultants give you an in-depth strategy and deck and leave you to execute. They are often strategy only. Scott executes the operational pieces that are key to success like corporate structure establishment, insurance and employment. Scott will work alongside you to ensure you have the structure in place to execute the strategy. Our growth sprint model means measurable results in 3-4 months, not indefinite consulting fees. You decide if you want to tackle the next challenge together.

AI agents are a technology option, not a necessity. Scott's experience is what relieves the bottleneck. However, they can be powerful for handling administrative work and continuing the work thats done after the sprint ends, without Scott's cost and without hiring additional staff. They allow your existing team to focus on more strategic work while the agents handle repetitive tasks. As your company scales, AI agents can provide ongoing leverage, but the core value comes from solving your growth challenge with proven expertise, not technology alone.

Companies with at least $2M ARR who've achieved product-market fit and are ready to scale. This includes technology and SaaS businesses as well as goods and services companies. Scott has experience across multiple sectors, and the solutions to scale bottlenecks are often similar regardless of industry. Typically these are businesses working towards or having just closed Series A or B raises, where the challenge shifts from "can we grow?" to "how do we scale without breaking?" If you're hitting bottlenecks around hiring, systems, or positioning for the next funding round, that's where Scott adds maximum value.

Investment is unique to each engagement because every growth challenge is different. What matters most is whether it makes sense based on the ROI of the outcome and the opportunity cost of your time as a founder. If tackling this challenge yourself would consume months of your focus, time you could spend on selling, fundraising, or building the future, then bringing in someone who's solved it before becomes a straightforward business decision. During our initial conversation, Scott will discuss your specific situation and determine if the economics make sense for both parties.

Growth sprints work best for revenue-generating companies facing specific scaling challenges, struggling to hire fast enough, systems can't keep up with demand, or need to set up in new markets. If you're pre-revenue or still finding product-market fit, you might not be ready yet. The ideal fit is a founder who needs senior-level expertise but can't justify a full-time C-suite hire. A 30-minute conversation will clarify if an engagment makes sense.

Absolutely. While the website highlights Scale Your Team, Scale Your Systems, and Scale Your Strategy, Scott brings 16+ years of C-suite experience across every business function. Past engagements include M&A due diligence and integration, market entry strategies, crisis management and turnarounds, IP portfolio development, and board-level advisory for funding rounds. If your growth challenge doesn't fit the three categories, let's discuss it, Scott hs likely navigated something similar.

Scott works with founders globally. Based in New Zealand, Scott's led distributed teams across multiple countries and multiple time zones for years. Growth sprints are flexible, structured around what works best for your operations, whether regular virtual check-ins, quarterly in-person sessions, or hybrid. What matters most is alignment on the challenge and your readiness to move quickly, not geography.

Scott's used to working with busy founders, so he will keep it low-touch. Scott will need some time at the start to get the information required, then work as independently as possible. Scott won't request meetings unless genuinely needed and is happy to work asynchronously, updates via Slack, email, or whatever works for your workflow. The goal is to free up your time, not consume it. You stay in the loop on progress and key decisions, but Scott will handle the execution without adding to your meeting load.
