Fractional Chief of Staff
The operator
behind the
operator.
You closed the round. Now comes the harder part — building the infrastructure to support what you promised. Slidedeckk is the embedded strategic operator that makes the machine run while you run the company.

You've closed a Seed, Series A, or B in the last 12 months and your board now expects infrastructure you haven't built yet.
You're making your first 3–5 hires and spending founder hours on work that shouldn't require founder hours.
Strategic priorities are consistently getting lost in the execution layer — and you know it.
You need someone who can write the board memo and own the follow-through, not just take meeting notes.
A full-time Chief of Staff hire is 6–12 months premature given your headcount and burn rate.
The Sunday before a Monday investor call still lands on your plate — and you're starting to feel it.

5
01
Board & Investor Relations
Board meeting prep, narrative development, pre-read packages, investor update ghostwriting, data room maintenance, and follow-up sequencing. Your board sees a polished, prepared founder — not because you had time, but because someone made it happen.
02
Operating Rhythm & Infrastructure
Building and running the weekly and monthly operating cadence: OKR frameworks, metrics reviews, team standups, decision logs, cross-functional alignment. The internal machine founders need but rarely have time to construct.
03
Strategic Projects & Execution
Taking complex, high-priority initiatives off your plate end-to-end: vendor negotiations, partnership scoping, cross-functional sprints, and strategic memos that require both analytical depth and executive polish.
04
Org Design & Hiring Infrastructure
Pre-hire org charting for founders about to make their first key hires — role scoping, reporting structures, onboarding systems, and the transition plan for when a full-time CoS becomes the right next step.
05
Fractional Investor Relations
Light-touch IR support for founders managing existing investors while quietly running a next-round process: CRM maintenance, update cadence, follow-up management, and narrative consistency across every investor touchpoint.

Board Meeting Prep Sprint
From $2,500
Two weeks before your board meeting, Slidedeckk owns the narrative, the deck, the pre-read package, and the follow-through. One engagement. No retainer required. Founders rarely go back to preparing alone after experiencing this.
Operating Rhythm Setup
From $3,000
A four-week sprint to design and install your company's operating cadence — standups, OKR check-ins, metrics reviews, and decision-making infrastructure. Built to outlast the engagement and run without you.
Why Slidedeckk
What a job posting
can't replicate.
can't replicate.
01
Available when founders actually need help
Board prep doesn't happen on Tuesday afternoons. Slidedeckk is available evenings, weekends, and the Sunday before your Monday investor call. That kind of responsiveness doesn't exist at consulting firms. It's a deliberate structural choice — not a selling point added after the fact.
02
Founder perspective, operator execution
Slidedeckk is led by a founder currently building a venture-backed climate tech startup. The empathy isn't borrowed from past client work — it comes from being in the same seat right now. Pattern recognition that consultants simulate comes standard here.
03
Investor relations fluency, built in
With a background spanning investor relations, strategic partnerships, and operations across venture-backed companies, Slidedeckk speaks the language of your board and your next-round investors — not just the internal team.
04
Intentionally small. Intentionally selective.
Three retained clients, maximum. Not a bandwidth constraint — a quality constraint. This model only produces results when the operator is genuinely inside your business. Slidedeckk selects clients as carefully as clients select Slidedeckk.
05
Built to transition cleanly
When the time is right, Slidedeckk helps you hire your in-house operator — drafting the JD, running the process, managing the handoff. The goal is not dependency. The goal is infrastructure that outlasts the engagement.

What Clients Are Saying
“Karen became an extension of our team immediately. The board deck she created for our Series B was better than anything we could have done internally, and she freed up 15 hours of my week to focus on closing the round.”
— Sarah M., CEO, Series B SaaS“I was spending every Sunday building board decks. Now I spend Sundays with my kids. This is the best ROI decision I've made as a CEO.”
— Michael T., Founder, Series A Fintech“We needed someone who could handle both EA work AND strategic execution. Traditional EAs couldn't do the strategic layer. Full-time CoS would take 4 months to hire. Fractional was perfect.”
— Jennifer K., VC Partner
