The Runway Burn Problem
✗ Founders trapped in operations. The CTO is fixing data pipelines. The head of sales is updating spreadsheets. The CEO is forwarding emails. Everyone’s doing work below their pay grade.
✗ Systems built for 5 people break at 15. Workarounds on top of workarounds. Every new hire makes the chaos worse. Hiring doesn’t fix a process problem.
✗ Data lives in 5+ disconnected tools. Stripe says one thing. The CRM says another. The spreadsheet says a third. Investor reporting takes days because nobody trusts the numbers.
✗ Customer experience is inconsistent. Onboarding depends on who handles it. Some customers get 5-star treatment. Others get forgotten. There’s no system — just good intentions.
35% of startup runway goes to operational tasks that should be automated. Not product. Not growth. Just keeping the lights on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this for individual startups or portfolio-level?
Both. Individual founders can use the sprint plan directly. Mentors and VCs can use the partnership model for portfolio-wide operations improvement.
What stage startups benefit most?
10-30 person startups (Series A / post-seed) where manual processes are becoming bottlenecks but enterprise tools are overkill.
Do you only work with Greek startups?
No. We work with startups across Europe. The sprints are remote-first and the automation tools are global.
Is this really free?
Yes. No credit card, no hidden upsell. We built it because the same operational problems repeat across every startup we see. This deck saves everyone time.
