Over 90% of startups fail. At Build Scale Grow, we help founders beat these odds through efficient business scaling. We serve as interim COO, build essential functions like Customer Success or RevOps, and elevate teams during transitions by quickly assessing, designing, and implementing solutions.

By leveraging our extensive experience and connections, we help founders streamline operations and reach major milestones at a fraction of the typical cost. We specialize in Social Impact, EdTech, and Health Tech startups, with particular expertise in supporting introverted founders.

Our team quickly aligns with your vision, sparks creative solutions, and mitigate risks to optimize for the best options despite an unpredictable future.

We solve problems such as:
•	Stagnant growth due to bottlenecks and inefficient processes
•	Creation and revitalization of teams (e.g. RevOps and Customer Success)
•	Absence of long-term vision beyond day-to-day operations
•	Limited access to leaders in finance, technology, recruiting, legal, and other key areas
•	Execution hurdles and difficulties in identifying and mitigating risks
