SaaS + agency founders · $800k+ · 10+ remote staff

Are you drowning in 1‑on‑1s?

Every decision, every escalation, every "quick question" still lands on you. I build the operating system that gives you a full day back every week, within 90 days.

No sales pitch. You'll leave with 3 actionable fixes, whether we work together or not.

Run the symptom check.

Six patterns I see again and again in founder-led companies. Tick the ones that sound like your week.

This isn't a team problem. It's a systems problem, and it's fixable.

I've built the teams you're trying to manage.

I'm Andrew Venture. I spent 15 years building, restructuring and systematising remote teams inside SaaS companies and digital agencies, in the exact roles you're struggling with: ads managers, SEO specialists, link builders, account managers.

I've lived inside these businesses rather than reading about them in case studies: hiring, firing, and restructuring remote teams for years. I usually know where the bottlenecks are before you finish describing them, because I've fixed the same ones across 10+ teams.

I only work with founders who are serious about getting out of the weeds. If you're not ready to delegate and let systems do their job, we're not the right fit, and I'll tell you so on the free call.

how it works · 90 days

Diagnose. Design. Build. Transfer.

No long onboarding, no bloated retainers. Clear milestones, and your hours on operations falling week by week.

weeks 1–2

Diagnose

Free discovery call, then the Pulse Check, a one-time operations audit: two hours of deep-dive calls, a written report, and a prioritised 90-day roadmap.

weeks 2–3

Design

We agree the build order and operating cadence. Scorecards and KPI definitions are drafted for every role on the team.

weeks 3–8

Build

SOPs, hiring system, KPI dashboard, and async cadence get built with your team, not dropped on them from above.

weeks 9–12

Transfer

Ownership moves to your team. You review one dashboard for 30 minutes a week instead of chasing status in Slack.

pricing

Start free. Go further only if the data says so.

No annual retainers, no mystery scopes. Each stage has a fixed price in US dollars, a defined output, and a clean exit. The Pulse Check stands on its own; Implement is the next step when you want help building what it finds.

If the debrief doesn't hand you three fixes worth $770, the fee is refunded in full. You won't be left holding a deck you can't act on.

Every deliverable stays with you when the engagement ends: the operations audit, a playbook for each role, the hiring and onboarding system, the KPI dashboard and the weekly async check-in. Nothing evaporates when you stop paying.

Be honest with yourself before booking.

This work only pays off when the fit is right. Check both columns.

This is for you if

  • You're a SaaS founder or digital-agency owner doing $800k+ in annual revenue ($1.5–2M for agencies)
  • You have 10+ remote team members and feel like the hub of every decision
  • You're losing at least a full day every week to management instead of growth and sales
  • You're willing to document, delegate, and let systems do their job
  • You want deliverables you own, not a dependency on a consultant

This is not for you if

  • You're a solopreneur or freelancer: this work needs a team first
  • You're under ~$800k annual revenue: ops isn't your bottleneck yet, so start with my free employee scorecard template (Google Sheets, no sign-up)
  • You want to outsource caring about the business: even a fractional COO needs an engaged founder
  • You're not willing to document processes or train your team differently
  • You think the problem is your team's skill rather than your systems (it's almost always the systems)

Stop being the bottleneck. Start with the data.

Book a free 45-minute call with me at a time that suits you. I'll map your bottlenecks live, and you'll leave with 3 actionable fixes, whether we work together or not.
