Start Your Next Professional Chapter
Are you a seasoned founder or startup executive who's grown a company to exit?
At DragonflyOP, we're on a mission to empower former founders and experienced startup executives who have had successful exits to make a significant impact in the startup world.
Transformative Impact
Joining DragonflyOP isn't just a career move - it's a gateway to meaningful work and unparalleled impact working with venture-backed founders who recognize they have limitations that need your experience and expertise.
And unlike all those accelerators and incubators who are calling (or the VC firms you're now an LP in), we'll pay you for your work. No volunteering here!
Precision Focus
We specialize in catapulting early-stage startups within our VC partners' portfolios from potential to prominence, with a focus on those middle-tier teams the VC knows are on the verge of hitting on all cylinders.
Our sights are set on Tier 2 and 3 companies teetering on the brink of their next major leap — those with solid technology, visionary founders, and dynamic markets yet grappling with crucial gaps in product-market fit, operational execution, or revenue strategies.
Your Role: The Catalyst
As an operating partner, your mission is pivotal. You'll craft playbooks that not only maximize current investments but also pave the way for essential funding. Your involvement marks the turning point for startups, guiding them from uncertainty to a clear trajectory of growth and success.
Opportunities Map
We start with a thorough operational assessment to identify inefficiencies and gaps in talent, operations, revenue, technology, product, and go-to-market strategies - complete with actionable recommendations to tackle these issues.
Growth Playbook
Based on these findings, we create a playbook (specific to needs of your venture), including Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), to guide your leadership team's prioritization and resourcing.
Operational Execution
To hit the ground running, we apply (fractional) leadership from our team of operating partners alongside your leadership team to implement the strategic playbook . We align our incentives with yours to make it happen.
Beyond Advisory: Real Impact
Our ethos is built on hands-on engagement, drawing from the collective triumphs and trials of our operators. This isn't a role with you sitting in advisory sessions; it's about embedding yourself in the heart of startup's as a leader, at the precipice of explosive growth.
Startups who engage DragonflyOP will see a significantly faster path to growth and have demonstrable valuation increases tied to performance and alignment.
