Seed Stage
Fractional Head of Delivery
at Seed
You've raised your first proper round and the pressure is on. You need to build the product, hire the team and start showing traction at the same time. Fractional leadership pays for itself here: you get experienced people guiding the zero-to-one build without the overhead of a full C-suite.
Typical challenges at Seed
- •First engineering hires need direction but there's no product or delivery leader
- •Runway is finite and every wrong product bet costs months
- •Founder is context-switching between fundraising, hiring, and product decisions
- •No processes yet, so everything is ad hoc and held together by Slack messages
What we bring as Head of Delivery
We design and implement the delivery operating system your team is missing. Cadences, workflows, estimation practices, and accountability structures that turn chaotic output into predictable shipping. What we put in place is lightweight and fits the way your team already works.
Your team ships on a regular cadence and stakeholders believe the timelines again. The CTO gets back to technical leadership, and the system keeps running after we leave.
What Seed companies need
At seed, the job is to build the right thing quickly and lay foundations that will carry you through the next round. You need someone who can set product direction, put lightweight delivery practices in place and help you hire well, without the extra work of managing a full-time executive.
