FAQ
Common questions about Co-Management.
How is Co-Management different from consulting?
Consulting hands you a strategy in a PDF and disappears. Co-Management means we actually co-manage the company — we take responsibility for decisions, we're present in board meetings, we represent the leadership. We don't sell "strategy alone".
How long does the engagement last?
Typically 6–12 months, sometimes longer. It's a long-term partnership — not a firefighting exercise. After the first 3 months, we run a review and adjust the scope.
Do I have to give up equity?
Co-Management is a fee-based arrangement, with no equity. Co-Founder is an option for advanced cases — arranged individually.
What if our personalities don't click?
After the first month, either of us can end the engagement with no penalties. Chemistry is key — we test it on the intro call and during the first diagnosis.
