GoScale Partners LLC
Todd prefers the term Growth Architect over fractional COO, leaning towards an operating system that goes beyond select operations and helps founders build companies. With a focus on consulting that helps founders and leaders build operations, develop accountable leadership rhythms, and shift from investment-fueled growth to sustainable, revenue-led execution, the GoScale Partners Operating System helps you build a company, not just ideas.
Culture-First Systems-Driven
The GoScale Partners model is grounded in cognitive and behavioral business psychology, addresses the emotions unique to leaders, and helps move true leaders forward. Engagements focus on operating disciplines for clarifying priorities, building accountable systems, and aligning teams around growth-stage execution. Culture drives strategy, and revenue is a primary objective..
GoScale Partners Operating System
You keep the vision. We install the systems, processes, and accountability structure to execute it. As a functioning but temporary COO, we work with the founder to create the business functions needed to scale.
Founder Assessment
An objective, data-driven snapshot of your strengths and gaps as a leader. No fluff. Just clarity from an initial review to see how you can best grow your business.
Strategic Roadmapping
A six-month engagement is enough time to growth the business structures need to achieve concrete milestones. Todd becomes one of your team members, functioning as a temporary COO. You will know exactly what needs to happen and when.
Process Audit & Build
We find the bottlenecks slowing you down, then build repeatable workflows that let your team actually scale. This is not about coaching you so you have more work to do, it's about doing the work with you.
Accountability & Execution
Monthly progress reviews, with clear metrics, so you can build a revenue producing business. You get the help you need to make it work, not a stack of slides and motivational coaching. As your Growth Architect, our job is to work ourselves out of your company.
Board & Investor Prep
We help you build the deck, the story, and the data pack that funders actually want to see. This includes getting you to revenue rather than just another grant or investor ask. Raising funds could be wasting your time, possibly delaying your pathway to profitability.
Who Do We Serve
The practice serves founders, CEOs, and leaders who have outgrown ad hoc operations and the ability to "find time" to do the other work. These leaders usually are not yet ready for a full-time COO or other C-level expenses. Clients work directly with Todd Murphy, applying three decades of operating and leadership experience to their specific growth stage. Each client focuses on what they do well, while Todd helps them correctly build the business components needed to generate revenue. Most clients are referred to Todd by word of mouth within the startup ecosystem. Additional client candidates are referred to Todd by organizations active in the Silicon Prairie or elsewhere. The initial assessment helps founders, leaders, and Todd decide if the relationship is a good match. The match is important. Too often consultants, investors, and advisors consume too much time from the founder, leaving them with little time to properly develop their idea. GoScale Partners wants to keep the founder fully focused on their vision or idea, while providing real work support to build their company.
