Who's riding shotgun?
Nobody builds an empire alone.
We place the senior American operators who run the business of being you — an executive Right Hand, a Chief of Staff, or the Running Mate you’ll drive the next decade with.
Built for founder-CEOs past $10M · We decline more than we accept · Every price published
Which one is killing you?
- the noise The Right Hand from $6,250/mo

Every decision still routes through you. Your inbox is the company’s real org chart. The quote you meant to follow up on Tuesday is still sitting there Friday.
You haven’t taken a full Saturday since the second truck.
Which Seat do you actually need?
The scope test, the comp bands, and the honest read — published, no call required.
A company that can’t run a week without you isn’t an asset. It’s a job with better taxes.
Every month you stay the operating system, the ceiling gets lower. The good people you hired stop deciding, because they’ve learned you’ll decide anyway. And the business you meant to build stays exactly the size of one man’s week.
45
Days to your Right Hand
Matched inside that window, or your initiation comes back.
Three Seats around the founder.
They are not tiers of the same product. They are different Seats, at different altitudes, for different problems — and where each one sits tells you what it owns.
- 01 The Right Hand Your senior executive assistant The desk outside your door
- Owns
- Your calendar, your inbox, travel, follow-ups, family logistics.
- Decides
- What reaches you — and what never should have.
- 02 The Chief of Staff Your senior operator A position on your operating floor
- Owns
- Your projects, your operating cadence, cross-team accountability.
- Decides
- How the work gets sequenced, and who owes what by when.
- 03 The Running Mate Your true second-in-command The second chair, inside the office
- Owns
- The leadership team, and the whole company below you.
- Decides
- Everything you hand over. Including things you would have decided.
You don’t have an effort problem. You have an empty-seat problem.
Nobody ever told you the seat beside you was supposed to be filled, so you worked harder instead. The Fortune 500 solved this a century ago — they just never sold it to the man who built the company himself.
Five reasons this is not a VA shop.
- 01
American and senior
Operators in your time zone, in your customers’ language, with real careers behind them. Not a gig marketplace.
- 02
A desk behind every operator
A desk manager and a bench watching in real time, so nothing you send waits on one human’s attention.
- 03
Level-honest
We’ll tell you which Seat you actually need, even when it’s the cheaper one. A mis-leveled hire fails, and failed hires don’t refer.
- 04
Real W-2 employees
Ours are employees with benefits, not contractors. Zero payroll or compliance risk lands on you.
- 05
We install, not just place
Most firms are paid when the offer is signed. We’re paid on whether the partnership actually works.
Three steps. No mystery.
From the form to a working partnership — and nothing in between happens without you seeing it.
- 01
Apply
Fifteen minutes from the form to a scheduled call. A partner reads every application.
You’ll leave that call knowing which Seat you need and what it costs — either way.
- 02
We find and test them against you
We recruit against your actual operation, then chemistry-test the match on how you’re wired — not against a generic profile.
You meet finalists, not a résumé pile.
- 03
We install the partnership
The first ninety days are designed: what they own, what you hand over, and how the two of you decide.
Our job ends at “this is working,” not at “the offer was signed.”
What you’re actually worried about isn’t the money.
You are about to give someone the keys to how your life actually runs. Here is what founders tell us at the end of that call, once the polite part is over.
- “They’ll have the keys to everything.”
- Your inbox, your calendar, your bank runs, your family’s week. Yes — that is the job, and pretending otherwise would insult you. What we do about it: every operator is our W-2 employee, not a contractor found on a marketplace, and discretion is trained before they ever touch a live account. Our clients don’t appear on our website. Neither will you.
- “My business is too messy for someone like that.”
- Every one of them is. You built it while doing eleven jobs — of course the systems live in your head. The first month is spent documenting how your operation actually runs, not how it should. Nobody arrives to be impressed, and nobody arrives to be disappointed.
- “They won’t understand my world.”
- The last thing anyone survives before reaching a founder is a live simulation of a real founder’s Tuesday: two principals, colliding priorities, a moving calendar. Not a personality quiz. If someone can’t hold that hour, they never meet you.
- “I’ll end up managing the person I hired to unmanage me.”
- That is the failure mode of every assistant you have ever been sold, and it is why there is a desk manager between you and the day-to-day. You are not their supervisor. You are the person they work for — those are different jobs, and we keep the first one.
- “What if I pick wrong?”
- Then we fix it, and we do it without making you fire anyone — that part is our job. Fit problems surface in the first weeks, which is exactly when we are watching hardest. Your initiation is refundable if we miss our deadline, and the playbook we build on your account means the second start is faster than the first.
And what we commit to, in writing
- To your Right Hand
- 45 days To your Right Hand Matched inside that window, or your initiation comes back.
- To a qualified slate
- 90 days To a qualified slate For a Chief of Staff search — same terms, same refund.
- Our search fee
- 25% of base Our search fee Never total comp. We don’t earn more when your hire costs more.
Who this is for.
We would rather be clear about it now than four months in. Both columns are honest.
This is built for you if
- You’re doing $10M+ and the company still routes through you.
- You’re ready to actually hand something over — not just complain about the load.
- You want a professional beside you, not a body to assign tasks to.
We’ll tell you no if
- You’re under $10M — there isn’t enough delegation load yet, and we’ll tell you what to do first.
- You want the title more than the Seat. A mis-leveled hire fails.
- You treat support staff badly. Our talent is the product, and we protect it.
Who's riding shotgun?
Get your Saturdays back. Build the thing only you can build.
Fifteen minutes with a partner. You’ll leave knowing which Seat you need, what it costs, and whether we’re the right ones to fill it — straight answers either way.
