Operational scaling to drive growth and valuation gainsDavid Selsberg
I help startups and growing businesses build the operational foundations they need to scale and increase valuation. With deep experience as a Fractional COO and multiple successful exits, I create systems, dashboards, and strategies that turn chaotic operations into investor-ready companies.
What's included
Operational Blueprint
A comprehensive, founder-friendly blueprint outlining the systems, processes, and workflows required to scale efficiently. Includes roles, responsibilities, KPIs, and immediate next steps for execution.
KPI & Performance Dashboard
A customized metrics dashboard (Excel/Sheets/BI-ready) that identifies the numbers that truly drive growth and valuation. Includes definitions, targets, and tracking templates.
Scalability Assessment
A full audit of current operations, staffing, systems, and workflows to identify bottlenecks, redundancy, or cost drains and actionable recommendations to improve efficiency and readiness for growth.
Strategic Growth Roadmap
A phased 30/60/90-day or quarterly roadmap detailing how to reach key growth milestones, strengthen operations, and improve valuation. Includes dependencies, timelines, and priorities.
Financial Operating Model
A valuation-focused financial model that forecasts revenue, expenses, staffing needs, and cash flow. Helps founders understand runway, pricing strategy, and investor expectations.
Process Redesign & SOP Package
Clear, standardized operating procedures for core business functions (sales, fulfillment, support, production, onboarding). Reduces errors, training time, and operational inconsistency.
Hiring & Org Structure Plan
A recommended organizational structure with future-state staffing, role definitions, and hiring priorities aligned to growth and valuation targets.
Investor-Readiness Packet
Operational and financial materials investors expect: KPIs, financials, risk assessment, systems overview, and a clear demonstration of operational maturity.
Go-to-Market Execution Plan
A tactical, step-by-step GTM plan that aligns marketing, sales, product, and operations to accelerate new revenue streams and customer acquisition.
FAQs

I specialize in eliminating operational bottlenecks, building scalable systems, improving financial clarity, aligning teams, and preparing companies for growth, fundraising, or acquisition.
Engagements range from fractional COO support (10-20 hours/week) to project-based work such as KPI dashboards, operational audits, financial modeling, or building process documentation.
I’ve scaled multiple startups, built patented technologies, led transformations under private equity pressure, and increased valuations from $6M to $56M in under a year. I don’t just advise, I build and execute.
Most clients see clarity and improvements within the first 1–2 weeks. More substantial operational gains or systems implementations typically show impact within 30-90 days.
Yes. I’ve delivered major operational improvements in manufacturing, supply chain, hardware/software integrations, and services-based businesses.
I commonly work with Notion, Asana, QuickBooks, Power BI, JD Edwards, HubSpot, and other CRM/ERP systems—but can adapt to your existing tools.
