Our story

We started as the founder's right hand.

FoundrOps began in 2025, after four years of working alongside CEOs and founders at US startups on growth, sales, fundraising and operations, including the founding teams of several YC-backed companies. The pattern was the same every time: founders knew what needed to happen. Keeping it running week to week, while being pulled in ten directions, was what slipped.

So we take the work on directly. We build the systems, run them day to day, and document them so they keep working after we step back. We work with a small number of founders at a time, closely enough to be part of the team rather than an outside vendor. You stay in control of the direction throughout.
