In today’s competitive SaaS landscape, forming productive partnerships is crucial for startups aiming to grow. Hiring a full-time chief partnership officer can be costly for seed and early stage companies. Enter the concept of a “Fractional CPO” – an experienced partnership strategist available on a flexible, as-needed basis, providing startups with strategic guidance affordably. 💥 What is a Fractional Chief Partnership Officer? Excited about AI, I recently transformed an article I wrote couple of months back on the Rise of the Fractional Chief Partner Officer into a mini Podcast using NoteBookLM.

One of the biggest mistakes we made in our earlier days was thinking that startups are “smaller versions” of big companies. We took the wrong advice from “management books” and tried to create detailed and efficient processes for everything like engineering, marketing, hiring, etc… The problem with that is, until you have a good understanding of what your product should be and who you should sell it to, any efficient process you create is bound to become irrelevant every few weeks. Startups are NOT companies. They’re a temporary organization in search of a bussines model. When they find it, they can gracefully transition to become an actual company. Check out this podcast that I generated with AI about this subject. #startups #podcast

Successful startups usually reach a point where infrastructure, human resources and systems cannot keep up with the growth of the business.  Without the right pieces on the board, growth companies encounter execution issues, raising both commercial and other risks.   Executing hiring plans, etc. must be prioritized. In a recent Acquired podcast, Howard Schultz commented about Starbuck’s early growth: “We were so in the mud, … we didn’t have time to look up… we were just running so fast, so hard. When you’re growing at this pace, it’s almost virtually impossible to catch the growth in terms of the infrastructure.” -Gilbert, B. & Rosenthal, D., Acquired (Starbucks Episode with Guess Host, Howard Schultz) (June 4, 2024). What types of growth-related challenges has your company faced and overcome? Would love to hear about it.  In upcoming editions of The Savvy Startup Advisor, we will be exploring ways in which startups can overcome their growth challenges.  If you have any comments or stories that you’d like to share with our audience, please reach out to us at thesavvystartup@gmail.com.
