FAQ

Your Questions, Answered

Who is Stack Team Ventures for?

We work with startups that have proven initial product-market fit and are ready to scale. This typically means you have paying customers, early revenue, or investment, and are now facing the challenges of scaling your team, processes, and operations.

What is the selection criteria for working with Stack Team Ventures?

We look for:

  • Demonstrable user traction or customer base

  • Minimum 12 months runway or sustainable revenue

  • Coachable founders open to guidance

  • Clear scaling challenges that match our expertise

  • Commitment to systematic growth

  • Early product-market fit indicators

How is this different from hiring full-time leaders?

We provide immediate access to experienced operators without the recruitment costs and risks of full-time hires. Our model allows you to access multiple specialists across different domains, all working in coordination, often at less cost than a single senior hire.

What happens after the engagement?

Success for us means working ourselves out of your business. We focus on knowledge transfer, building sustainable processes, and helping you hire and train permanent team members. Our goal is to leave you with robust systems and capabilities that continue driving growth long after our engagement ends.

What's the time commitment from founders?

We're designed to reduce founder load, not increase it. While we'll need some initial time to align on strategy, our experience means minimal ramp-up time and clear communication protocols.

How long do engagements typically last?

Our program typically runs 12-24 months, depending on your scaling needs and goals. We'll define clear milestones and success criteria at the start of our engagement.
