ABOUT

You had a visionary idea,
You crafted a strategic plan,
You took a bold risk and built your business.

Now, as your startup grows, you're facing unexpected challenges - operational hurdles that, while essential, pull you away from your core vision. These challenges need to be overcome for you to elevate your business to the next level and achieve your ultimate goals. I work with Founders and CEOs on a project basis, to scale your startup that is fast growth or approaching a steep trajectory.

COACHING & MENTORING

Goal Setting | Actionable Plans | Accountability | Support | Guidance | Sign Posting

Scaling a startup business is not for the faint hearted. Aside from a strong stomach and a lot of blind faith, a Coach that's been involved with building over 40 startups (including their own) is an excellent addition to your founder survival kit. Flexible, valuable and with unique perspective, well worth it for those looking to enjoy the wild ride just a little bit more.

WORKSHOPS & PROGRAMMES

Accelerators | Incubators | Venture Builders | Universities | Panel Discussions | Key Notes

To achieve repeatable growth you need two things: a realistic strategy and the right people to deliver it. Karrott + Stik is a female-founded growth consultancy that combines go-to-market with operations and people.

LET'S TALK.

If you're looking for a Fractional COO, Coach, Mentor, Strategic Partner, Key Note Speaker or Panel Member then I would love to explore opportunities with you.
