What’s Your Most Pressing Challenge?
We’ve identified three critical inflection points where technology leadership determines success or failure.
📈 We Need to Reach Profitability
Your Situation: Burning $2M+ monthly. Revenue is flat. Board demanding path to profitability. Every system held together with manual processes.
Your Outcome: Reduce operational spend by up to 6% of ARR. Automate processes consuming 40% of team capacity. Extend runway by 6-12 months.
🚀 We Need to Scale Without Breaking
Your Situation: Growing 200-500% yearly. What worked at 50 employees is failing at 200. Customer complaints rising as you grow.
Your Outcome: Build infrastructure for 10x current load. Scale seamlessly from 150 to 500 employees. Reduce issues by 60%.
🔒 We Need to Pass This Audit
Your Situation: Enterprise deal contingent on SOC 2. Healthcare partnership requires HIPAA. Board asking about AI and security.
Your Outcome: Pass audits in 3-6 months, not 12-18. Implement compliance without slowing velocity.

The Cost of Waiting
If you’re burning $2M/month with 20% operational inefficiency:
This Month’s Delay = $400K unnecessary burn
Quarter’s Delay = $1.2M (that’s 2-3 months of runway)
6-Month Delay = Missing your profitability window
Every hypergrowth company hits these inflection points. The question isn’t if you’ll need help—it’s whether you’ll get it before or after the crisis.
