Skills that help
📊 Analytical💬 Social📋 Organized📚 Teaching
Offer fractional COO or advisory services to startups scaling from 10 to 500 employees, using frameworks from resources like Elad Gil's High Growth Handbook as a curriculum base. Charge $3,000–$8,000/month on retainer to help founders navigate hiring, board dynamics, and market positioning. Demand is validated by the fact that Gil's book became a bestseller specifically because operators lacked tactical scaling guides.
