Hitting the Series B Wall.
Why the systems that got you to Series A will likely kill your Series B.
Series A is about proving the market. Series B is about proving the machine.
Most startups hit a "Wall" shortly after their Series B funding. The capital is there, the demand is there, but the Operational Velocity has stalled. The founder is frustrated because "things just aren't moving as fast as they used to."
The Complexity Compound Interest
At RidgePoint Strategies, we identify the Series B Wall as a failure of Infrastructural Foresight. As headcount and transaction volume grow, the number of communication paths and potential failure points grows exponentially, not linearly.
The Symptoms
- • Decisions require 4+ meetings to resolve.
- • The founder is still the primary "firefighter."
- • Customer churn increases due to fulfillment errors.
The Solution
- • Decoupling the founder from daily ops.
- • Implementing automated "Truth" reporting.
- • Hardening the SOPs for inter-departmental handoffs.
Scaling the Unscalable
Crossing the wall requires a fundamental shift in mindset: moving from People-as-Infrastructure to Systems-as-Infrastructure. We help founders re-architect their roles so they can focus on capital and vision, while the machine handles the volume.
Break Through the Wall.
Don't let your ops stall your exit. Let's build the Series B machine together.
