Helping founders replicate our successes and avoid our mistakes.

Team Stats

As seasoned entrepreneurs ourselves, we've navigated the exhilarating highs and daunting lows of the startup journey. Our journeys through uncharted waters inspired us to launch Ripcord - a beacon for fellow founders embarking on their own ventures.

There are dev shops, marketing/design agencies, lawyers, accountants, etc. Very few service providers get down to the nitty gritty of driving the business and this is what we are most passionate about.

We're not just offering services; we're sharing the wisdom of experience, the strength of community, and the leverage of our network to elevate startups from fledgling concepts to market leaders. We're here to be the co-pilots on your entrepreneurial journey, ensuring you have the support, guidance, and resources needed to soar.

FAQs

  • It is the best of all worlds. You don’t just have a Chief Strategy Officer at your disposal, you have a team of strategists. We are also temporary and around for the shortest amount of time necessary — no longterm commitments, conserving your runway. Alternatively, you can use a singular person from our team on a deck or website if it adds value.

  • The goal here is be as flexible as possible for the stage of the startup. We have the ability to provide value in return for dollars, equity, or a combo of both. You do not pay a person, you pay Ripcord.

  • Hell yes! While there might be aspects of early stage startups we might like more or are better at, we have seen it all. We are more than happy to provide strategies, advice, sounding boards, or just listen to you complain about things - that’s okay too!

    If there are skills needed in an area that we believe we cannot provide a great amount of value, we will network on our behalf or make a connection to a more appropriate party.

  • Of course! Our contracts ensure your privacy and your IP stays with you. Ripcord does not own any part of your products, systems, or services we might help you with.
