About Operator Laboratory
Hello!Operator Laboratory partners with a small number of founders to design and execute go-to-market systems that unlock distribution, partnerships, and revenue leverage.
This is not consulting by the hour.
It is operator-grade involvement, intentionally capacity-constrained.
Operator Laboratory is built for founders who value speed of judgment, direct feedback, and leverage over busywork.
Start With a Free Operator Diagnostic
Every relationship begins with a free, 30-minute operator diagnostic.
This is not a discovery call.
In less than 30 minutes, we aim to:
Pressure-test your go-to-market assumptions,
Identify what is actually blocking progress,
And surface one or two decisions that can immediately change trajectory.
Most founders leave the call with more clarity than weeks of internal discussion produce.
If there is no clear way for us to add leverage, we’ll say so directly.
Engagement Structure
Most founders begin with a 90-day advisory engagement.
This period is designed to:
Clarify the GTM wedge,
Build a credible distribution or partnership motion,
And determine whether deeper alignment makes sense.
It allows founders to get real value without committing equity upfront, while keeping long-term alignment on the table.
Advisor Lite
Light strategic guidance for early founders refining positioning, ICP, or direction.
Operator
Deeper operator-level involvement, including execution support and select introductions, for founders moving quickly.
Co-Founder Track
For a small number of exceptional founders, Operator Laboratory engages on an ownership-aligned basis.
These relationships are capped and highly selective.
Capacity, Alignment & Fit
Operator Laboratory is intentionally capacity-constrained.
As availability fills or involvement deepens, engagements are repriced or waitlisted to maintain focus and outcome quality.
Long-term involvement is often ownership-aligned.
After the initial advisory period, engagements typically either convert to equity, reprice for deeper involvement, or conclude cleanly. Equity is never implied and is discussed only when there is clear mutual fit and asymmetric upside.
This model works best for founders who execute weekly, move quickly on feedback, and value operator-level judgment.
It is not a fit for teams seeking task delegation without ownership, slow consensus-driven processes, or guaranteed outcomes.
