Our tagline says it all: Actionable insights from top operators in tech.
Hiring a Fractional COO: When is a good time? What are the benefits?
“You’ve successfully launched your business and you’re growing, you’ve grown. Daily operations are full steam ahead and you and your team are busy delivering to your customers. But despite the exciting growth, you’re noticing snags. Or perhaps you’re so busy, you feel you don’t have time to plan for more strategic growth, set new benchmarks for your company, and create new roles to offset the abundance of work. It’s possible you’re noticing that the systems and processes that you initially launched with, are no longer keeping up, or are no longer robust or technologically advanced enough to keep up with demand. Congratulations! You’ve hit a milestone and you’re aware enough to know that you need to make some adjustments. It might be time to bring in a Fractional Chief Operating Officer.”
How a Landa Club top operator helped Apprecio (YC-S22) launch its growth engine in 2 weeks.
“Thanks to Landa, we had access to senior profiles almost instantly. One of their experts helped us kickstart our growth engine in 2 weeks, without Landa this wouldn't have been possible”
- Aldo del Valle, Founder Apprecio
Tim Ferris on whether it makes sense to specialize or to be a generalist:
“In brief, his recommendation (paraphrasing here) is to try to combine a handful of skills that are rarely combined. For example, if you want to specialize and become a basketball player, you really need to be in the top 0.001% to do phenomenally well financially and otherwise. On the other hand, if you combine two skills that are valuable but even more rare, you have a competitive advantage. For instance, a computer science degree and a law degree or extreme knowledge of finance and mathematics, plus public speaking. This combination gives you a higher chance of ending up in the top decile of earning power.”
