What leaders say about working with us

What leaders say about working with us

The clarity they brought to our fundraising process was extraordinary. We went from confused pitch deck to term sheet in under three months.

Michael Torres

CEO, NorthBay SaaS

Close-up of a man with green eyes, dark brown hair, and a beard, wearing a black turtleneck against a dark background.

We came in with a vague growth problem. Do— helped us name it, frame it, and solve it — in six weeks. The clarity we got was worth more than any report.

James Rutherford

Founder, Arca Ventures

Close-up of a person in a black cap and shirt, with sharp lighting and a tiled wall background, creating a modern and minimalistic vibe.

Most consultants tell you what you want to hear. Do— told us what we needed to hear — and then stayed to help us act on it. That's a rare thing.

René Beaumont

COO, Lumière Retail

Professional portrait of a woman with brown hair and green eyes, wearing a black blazer in an office setting.

Our team went from confused to confident. The strategy work they did was the turning point.

Rebecca Walsh

VP Operations, Tech Company

A close-up portrait of a woman with long, voluminous dark curly hair and a subtle, confident expression. She is wearing a dark grey crew-neck t-shirt and light makeup, posed against a plain, neutral grey background.

I've worked with large consulting firms. Do— is different — they're direct, fast-moving, and accountable. You feel like you have partners, not vendors.

Priya Nair

COO, Veritas Manufacturing

Close-up portrait of a person in dramatic lighting, wearing a red robe, with sharp features and a contemplative expression.

We'd been stuck on the same operational problems for two years. Do— diagnosed the root cause in week one and built a fix we're still running 18 months later.

Nia Sampson

VP Operations, Crest Logistics

A professional portrait of a woman in a cream blazer and blue shirt, accessorized with gold necklaces, set against a neutral background.

Do— helped us go from a scattered product roadmap to a focused, fundable story. We raised our seed round four months after the engagement ended.

Elyse Anderson

Co-Founder, Koda Labs

A head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman with long brown hair and freckles, wearing a beige sweatshirt against a light grey background.

Within six months, we had clarity on where to expand and how to get there. That alone was worth it.

Lisa Chen

Founder, E-commerce

A head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman with long, straight dark hair and a neutral expression, looking directly at the camera. She is wearing a bright red sleeveless top against a simple, light cream-colored background.

Do— didn't just give us a strategy document. They worked alongside us to make sure we actually executed it. Twelve months later, we'd doubled ARR.

Matteo Ricci

CFO, Meridian Capital

A dramatic side-profile portrait of a handsome older man with a dark background, emphasizing his contemplative expression and white beard.

They challenged our assumptions at every step. That was uncomfortable — but it's exactly what we needed. Our strategy is sharper because of it.

Amara Levi

Managing Director, Solaris Group

Close-up portrait of a man with a beard and dramatic lighting, emphasizing his facial features against a black background.

They didn't just advise us. They rolled up their sleeves and helped us rebuild the entire operation.

Sarah Smiths

CEO, Growth Stage SaaS

Close-up portrait of a woman with brown hair, green eyes, and a neutral expression, wearing a white shirt and black sweater vest.

They helped us see the market differently and move faster than we thought possible.

Founder, B2B Platform

FAQ

Common questions about working with Do

Common questions about working with Do

  • How long does engagement take?

    Timelines vary by your needs. Some founders gain clarity in three months, while others may need a year or more. We’ll give you an honest timeline estimate during our conversation.

  • Do you work with early stage?

    We work with founders at any stage, but we're best suited for companies that have found product-market fit and are ready to scale. If you're still searching, we might not be the right fit yet.

  • Can you work with our board?

    Yes. We prepare board materials, present findings, and help align your leadership team. Board-level reporting is included in our core partnership.

  • What about remote work?

    We work fully remote. You can be anywhere. We'll meet where it makes sense, whether that's video calls or in person.

  • What industries do you serve?

    We've worked across SaaS, e-commerce, B2B platforms, manufacturing, and professional services. The industry matters less than your hunger to grow.

  • How do you measure success?

    We define success metrics upfront. Revenue growth, market share, team velocity, cost reduction—whatever matters most to you. We track it and report it monthly.
