You started your company to solve a problem, and you believe in your mission. But somewhere along the way, the back office grew. Now, you spend most of your time on payroll systems, hiring policies or tax credit filings.
Operations That Scale is a series for purpose-driven leaders who want to build companies that work from the inside out. Whether you're pre-Series A or just landed your first major grant, this series is designed to help you scale without compromising your values or your time.
What you’ll find here
Each chapter breaks down a core area of startup operations, from hiring and finance to reporting, automation and compliance. We show you:
What good looks like at early stage
What most founders get wrong
How to design systems that are lean, ethical and scalable
Mistakes to avoid and examples from the field
These aren’t generic playbooks. They’re drawn from our work with dozens of startups across sectors like health, climate, education and fintech, each with bold missions and facing very real constraints.
Who this is for
This series is written for:
Founders of purpose-driven tech startups
Operators running lean teams with high ambition
Teams navigating the messy middle between MVP and scaling
Startups with funding, grants or revenue, but without a full ops team
If you're juggling finance, people, delivery, compliance and/or fundraising, and wondering how to make it all sustainable, this is for you.
How to use this series
You don’t need to read everything at once. Each chapter stands on its own and covers a different operational domain. Use it as:
A decision guide
A strategic reset
A conversation starter with your team
A way to assess if Compact might be the right partner for you
We recommend starting with the chapter most relevant to your current challenges and bookmarking the rest.
