After my time at BCG and building early stage companies in an operator role, I’ve seen many of my former colleagues turn into entrepreneurs and go on their own growth journeys. The thing that I have seen time and time again, is that they end up spending a disproportionate amount of time on mid/back office (e.g., new ERP system, accounting overhaul, HR processes, process optimization) as opposed to more commercial topics like focusing on new acquisitions / growth / markets. These same folks face a tough decision - hire junior inexperienced staff or hire expensive leaders in each specific subject matter area (finance/HR/operations). In most cases, they go with option C - do it themselves.
That’s how Opsidian was born - a group of operators and builders across HR / finance / operations that act as a fractional operating partner to entrepreneurs trying to grow their business, from tech startups to search funds and private equity-backed roll-ups. We have worked at large organizations like BCG, KPMG, Deloitte, and other public organizations, as well as a series of small companies at varying stages of growth. Opsidian allows entrepreneurs to focus on product and GTM strategy, while we take care of the operating infrastructure.
