People strategy for growing companies
Whole people. Whole companies. Built for your next stage.
Growth shouldn't break the people doing the work. We help founders and leadership teams get to the heart of their people decisions, then build only what their stage requires.
Somewhere between 20 and 150 people, the way you've always worked stops working.
- "Just ask the founder" doesn't scale anymore.
- Managers were promoted for doing the work well, not for leading it.
- Good people are leaving, and the reasons are fuzzy.
- Everyone agrees you need "HR." No one agrees what that means.
What we're working toward
Every growing company deserves an organization as well designed as its product.
Most companies put years of care into what they sell, and very little into how they're organized to build it. We close that gap, one stage at a time.
Our approach
Diagnose first. Build only what fits.
No templates with your logo swapped in. Every engagement starts by learning how your company actually works, in your words and your team's.
Discover
We listen to your leaders, managers and team, and read the data you already have.
Diagnose
We score your people practices against what a company your size needs, and find root causes.
Design
Together we choose three to five priorities and build a roadmap sized for your stage.
Build and hand off
We build it with your leaders, measure it, and leave you owning every tool.
