Sprint Projects

Scoped Sprint Projects for founders facing a high-urgency problem, with a defined start, a defined output, and a maximum runway of three months.

What's Included
Sprint board: scoped backlog and milestones

Common Sprint Types

Scoped short-term projects of less than three months. Traction surges, fundraising readiness accelerates, and each sprint produces a documented artefact the team can run with afterwards.

Pre-Raise Sprint
Investor narrative, pipeline evidence, data room, AI strategy artefact.
Growth Sprint
Positioning, ICP, funnel hygiene, lead magnet or channel diagnostic.
AI Sprint
Tool audit, AI operating model, decision rights, governance framework.
Ops Sprint
OKR rollout, process documentation, role definitions, and more to professionalise a growing startup

Built for Founders Facing a High-Urgency Problem

Some problems will not wait for a retainer. Pipeline is underperforming, the raise is six weeks away, or an AI tool deployment has gone wrong. This is a clear, time-bound intervention with a defined output, not an open-ended advisory.

A Defined Start, A Defined Output

Hard scope, hard timeline, hard deliverable. No open-ended advisory. A documented artefact is handed over at the end, and a sprint often runs alongside or ahead of a Retainer engagement.

Scope
A 90-minute Growth Workshop sets the outcome and success metric.
Plan
Two-week phase to agree backlog, owners and milestones.
Execute
Two to ten weeks of focused work with a fortnightly review.
Handover
Documented playbook, Loom walkthroughs, a 30-minute review.
