Seat 01
The Right Hand.
Your senior executive assistant
A senior American EA who runs the business of being you — calendar, inbox, travel, follow-ups, family logistics — backed by a full desk, so nothing you send ever sits.
Published price
$6,250
per month on a 12-month term · $75,000/yr
$5,000 initiation, credited to month one and refundable if we have not matched you within 45 days.
You are doing $10 work in between $10,000 decisions.
You missed the game. You double-booked the walkthrough and found out from the customer. There are four hundred unread in your inbox, and the one that actually mattered came in three weeks ago from a client you have since lost.
None of that happened because you are disorganised. It happened because nobody is holding the other end.
This Seat is built for founders between $10M and $100M who have never had real executive support, and who are now the single point of failure in a company with a payroll.
“I don’t have enough to hand off.” You do.
Founders say it in the first ten minutes of every call, and then we read them this list. Most stop us somewhere around the permits.
The business
- Bid and quote follow-ups
- Chasing permits and inspections
- Crew and subcontractor scheduling
- Customer callbacks
- Vendor wrangling and price checks
- Collections nudges
- Review responses, good and bad
- Meeting prep and briefing notes
- Inbox ownership and triage
- Expense reports and the receipt shoebox
- Insurance and licence renewals
- Job-site travel and logistics
The life around it
- Flights, hotels and the rental car
- Doctor, dentist, the physical you keep moving
- Gifts — birthdays, anniversaries, the crew at Christmas
- School forms and permission slips
- The DMV, the passport renewal, the notary
- Dinner reservations and the anniversary you nearly missed
- The kid’s-game block that never moves
The second column is the one founders are embarrassed to ask for. It is also the one their families notice first.
Full-time for you. Never alone behind you.
Yours every business day, extended hours. Behind her sits a desk manager and a bench, watching your account in real time — so a request never waits on one human’s attention, and a sick day is not your problem to solve.
That is the part a single hire cannot give you at any price. One person is one point of failure. This is a desk.
The kind of person who gets this Seat.
She survived the gauntlet
Application, skills assessment, then a live simulation of a real founder’s Tuesday — two principals, colliding priorities, a calendar that moves under her. We turn away excellent people at that stage.
She is a W-2 employee
Ours, with benefits — not a contractor found on a marketplace. Tenure means the context she builds on your account compounds instead of walking out the door.
She is armed
A full AI stack, and monthly training on building automations around your business. The judgment of a human, at the speed of the machines.
Less money. More machine.
Hiring your own
$8,400
a month, fully loaded
A $80K EA costs $85,000–$100,000 once you count payroll taxes, benefits, equipment and PTO. One person. When she is sick, you are the backup. When she quits, you start over.
A Right Hand
$6,250
a month, everything included
Senior on arrival, with a desk manager, a bench and a firm that has already made every hiring mistake so you do not have to. No payroll, no benefits admin, no compliance risk.
You are not paying for an assistant. You are paying for the machine around her.
What it costs, in full.
Published here so the call is never a price ambush. Two ways to hold the Seat.
- On a 12-month term
- $6,250 /mo On a 12-month term $75,000/yr. The rate for founders who commit to the year.
- Month-to-month
- $7,500 /mo Month-to-month $90,000/yr. Available after an initial 90 days.
- Credited to month one
- $5,000 initiation Credited to month one Refundable if we have not matched you within 45 days.
The initiation is not a fee. It is how we both prove we are serious.
It is credited against your first month, and it comes back if we have not matched you within 45 days. Free consultations attract tourists; we built this for operators.
For the first 30 to 45 days your Right Hand runs your account and no other, while she learns how your operation actually works. White-glove by design, not as a promotion.
This Seat is yours if
- You can name three things you would hand over before Friday.
- You are willing to let someone else answer on your behalf, in your voice.
- You want the calendar defended, not just filled.
It is the wrong Seat if
- What you actually need is someone to own a P&L. That is a different Seat.
- You are under $10M — the load is not there yet, and we will tell you what to do first.
- You want to approve every email before it goes. Then you have bought yourself a second inbox.
What founders ask before they say yes.
Is my Right Hand working only for me?
During your hours, yes — and here's the part most firms would bury: like the Fortune 500 executive-support model, your Right Hand also supports one other principal during your quiet hours.
We do it on purpose, and you benefit three ways. She stays sharp working across two operations instead of going stale in one. Our desk watches requests in real time, so if she's ever mid-task for the other principal, a manager jumps in — nothing waits. And the model's efficiency is why you pay $6,250 a month instead of $12,000+.
Full-time for you. Never alone behind you. If you want a person who is exclusively yours, that's a Chief of Staff — on your payroll — and we'll tell you honestly if you're ready for one.
What happens if my Right Hand quits?
Within about three business days, a pinch-hitter from our desk steps in — briefed off the playbook we build on your account from day one — so your operation doesn't skip. Within 30 days, we place your new Right Hand.
This is precisely why the desk model exists: single hires create single points of failure. Ours doesn't.
Why are you US-only when offshore VAs cost a fraction of that?
Offshore VAs are a legitimate tool for async digital work, and if that's all you need, use one — seriously.
Our clients' operators talk to their customers, negotiate with their vendors, and run their family's week in real time. That work is senior, in your time zone, in your customers' language.
Different job, different tool.
What if it's just not a fit?
Then we fix the match. Fit issues surface in the first weeks, which is why your Right Hand's first month is dedicated entirely to you and why our desk manager is watching.
If it's wrong, we rematch — the playbook we've built on your account means the second start is faster than the first.
We don't make you fire anyone. That's our job.
Who's riding shotgun?
Get the $10 work off your desk.
Fifteen minutes with a partner. You will leave knowing whether this is your Seat, what it costs, and whether we are the right ones to fill it — straight answers either way.
When the noise is gone, the ceiling is next — and that is a different Seat. Meet The Chief of Staff
