Why Growing Companies Need Fractional COO Services

Most companies between $2M and $100M in revenue hit the same wall: the operational model that got them here cannot get them to the next stage. The founder is still the decision bottleneck. Processes are tribal knowledge. Management reporting is reactive instead of predictive.

Hiring a full-time COO at this stage carries enormous risk. The salary alone runs $250K–$500K before equity, and 40% of executive hires fail within 18 months. Fractional COO services give you the operational leadership without the financial exposure.

Kamyar Shah has provided fractional COO services to over 650 companies through World Consulting Group. Companies that engage fractional COO services at the right inflection point scale faster and with less founder burnout than those that wait for a full-time hire.
