The bottleneck isn't your product, your market, or your capital. It's your people.
We help founders at 50–500 employees build the hiring, performance, and pay systems that help them scale.
You already know something's off.
Every open role is a hidden tax on your business.
You're not just paying a recruiter. You're paying in missed deadlines, manager overload, and momentum your team loses while waiting for the person who should already be here.
You're paying more. Getting less. And you can feel it, but can't prove it.
The performers who deserve more are exploring their options. The mediocre ones are neither performing, nor leaving.
If every people problem lands on your desk, you're not a CEO. You're a glorified HR Manager.
You should be setting direction, not mediating between a manager and their team, signing off on offer letters, or being the last line of defence on every people call.
We work on the three things that actually drive people performance.
Stop losing your top 10%
Your best people have options. The difference between them staying and leaving isn't salary — it's whether they believe in where the company is going and feel like they're growing inside it.
We find the gaps, fix the culture, and make your company a place smart people choose.
Stop overpaying the wrong people
Most companies between 50-500 people have pay chaos. Counter-offers here, market corrections there, a bonus for someone who threatened to leave.
We replace the chaos with a pay structure your managers can actually use and your people can actually trust.
Get out of your own HR
You built a company. You shouldn't be its default HR department.
We build the systems, the playbooks, and the people structures so that every people decision doesn't eventually arrive on your desk. You set the direction. Your team runs the machine.
The Leaders Who Move First
The companies that work with us are the ones that want to fix their people systems before a key resignation forces them to. They're in tech, manufacturing, fintech, consumer, and services — and they all had one thing in common: they knew something was off before it became a crisis.
Most founders wait until a key person quits. By then, the cost is already real.
The resignation was just the signal. The damage — the disengagement, the slow drift, the people who followed them out the door — that happened months earlier. Book a 30-minute call. No prep needed. We'll show you exactly where your people risks are and what they're likely costing you. Then you decide what to do with it.
Drop us a note. We reply within one business day.
