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 — all at the same time. This is where fractional leadership pays for itself: experienced hands 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 — 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. We don't impose heavy process — we build lightweight systems that fit your team's culture.
Reliable, predictable delivery. Your team ships on cadence. Stakeholders trust timelines. The CTO goes back to technical leadership instead of chasing status updates. And it keeps working after we leave.
What Seed companies need
Seed stage is about building the right thing quickly and establishing the 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 distraction of managing a full-time executive.
