the problem you're living

Sound familiar?

You're stuck in the weeds.

Your calendar is a minefield of operational tasks that pull you away from strategic thinking. You know where you want to take the business, but you can't get there when you're buried in the day-to-day.

Nothing sticks.

You set priorities. Teams nod. Then... crickets. Without operational rigor, your best initiatives fade into "we should really get back to that."

Every decision feels heavy.

Without clear data, documented processes, or operational support, even small choices drain your energy. You're flying blind when you should be flying high.

The business runs through you. Only you.

There's no rhythm. No systems. No one else can make it happen. The company doesn't scale because you can't clone yourself.

This isn't sustainable. And you know it.

TRUSTED BY FOUNDERS,
EDUCATORS & VISIONARY LEADERS

What changes with Soluna.

The noise clears.

We take operations off your plate AKA the fires that never stop burning. You get your mental bandwidth back for innovation, strategy, and growth.

Priorities become reality.

We embed into your team to ensure alignment, accountability, and follow-through. Projects, programs, and course initiatives don’t just get discussed, they get delivered.

Decisions get lighter.

With clean data, documented processes, and operational clarity, you make confident choices faster. No more decision fatigue.

You're no longer the bottleneck.

We build the systems, rhythms, and leadership that let your company scale beyond you. You lead the vision. Soluna handles execution.

THE SOLUNA 4 STEP SYSTEM

How we work.

‍

Step 1 - Illuminate

operational clarity

We embed with your team to see how the business truly runs. We surface friction, find quick wins, and build a clear roadmap so you know exactly where to focus.

‍What you get: Immediate clarity and a diagnostic that shows where operational changes will have the most impact.

Step 2 - Align

fractional leadership in action

We turn your vision into focused priorities, define roles, and map a 90-day plan your team can actually execute. You get true executive-level leadership without full-time overhead.

‍What you get: Clear priorities, aligned teams, and a plan everyone understands.

Step 3 - Build

core systems for scale

We design systems that eliminate daily bottlenecks across ops, finance, HR, tech, and delivery—unified into one operating system your team actually uses.

‍What you get: Infrastructure that supports growth without constant firefighting.

Step 4 - Scale

Beyond the Sprint

We drive execution, track KPIs, and adjust as you grow. Whether scaling, fundraising, or transitioning leadership, we support long-term operational excellence.

‍What you get: Continued momentum with a partner invested in your success.

let's talk

PRE-SEED TO SERIES A STARTUPS

Startup founders trapped in execution.

You're RUNNING operations instead of leading with vision. We take the day-to-day off your plate so you can focus on what only you can do.

Small BusinessES

SMBs who
have hit the
growth ceiling.

The scrappy systems that got you here won't get you there. You need someone who's managed and scaled businesses before and knows exactly what to build next.

THOUGHT LEADERS

Visionaries who need a yin to
their yang.

As a business owner, you’re forced to be both CEO and COO, which slows growth and drains you. We step in as your second in command so things run beyond you.

SOLOPRENEURs

Solo riders
who want their
life back.

Running a business shouldn't mean sacrificing everything else. The right COO gives you breathing room to think, create, and actually enjoy what you built.
