The Fractional Advantage.
How to bridge the "Series A Wall" without the $250k executive price tag.
Every founder eventually hits the same ceiling: you are too big to manage the "mess" yourself, but too small to justify a full-time, C-suite Chief Operating Officer.
This is the Operational Gap. It’s where growth stalls because the founder is spending 60% of their day in spreadsheets and logistics fires instead of vision and capital raising. At RidgePoint Strategies, we provide the bridge across this gap through Fractional Operations Leadership.
Why Now? The ROI of the "Outside Architect"
Hiring an executive is a massive bet. Between salary, equity, and benefits, a full-time COO is a million-dollar commitment over three years. A Fractional Leader, however, provides the architectural intelligence without the long-term carry.
Speed to Impact
A fractional leader doesn't need "onboarding." We arrive with a toolkit of proven frameworks for ERP selection, demand planning, and labor strategy. We start fixing the machine on Day 1.
Objective Neutrality
Internal hires often inherit the "tribal politics" of a startup. As an outside firm, we provide an unbiased audit of your systems, identifying the bottlenecks that insiders are too close to see.
The Three Pillars of Fractional Engagement
When RidgePoint enters a firm, we don't just "consult." We embed. Our engagement is built on three specific outcomes:
-
1
Systemic Architecture
We design the "backbone." From ERP selection to data warehouse integrity, we ensure your tech stack isn't just a collection of apps, but a unified machine.
-
2
Process Standardization
We kill tribal knowledge. We document the SOPs and build the labor strategy that allows you to scale headcount without scaling chaos.
-
3
Executive Transition
Our ultimate goal is to make ourselves obsolete. We build the infrastructure so that when you are ready to hire a full-time COO, they walk into a clean, high-performance environment.
Moving Beyond "The Mess"
If you feel like you are working in your business rather than on it, you are likely at the Series A Wall. Fractional operations leadership isn't just a cost-saving measure; it is a growth accelerator.
