“Zero-to-One” Operations Consulting

We help tech-enabled companies launch strategic initiatives from scratch

Companies we’ve partnered with

We know that launching operational foundations is a different skill set than maintaining them. Things like…

  • Setting up a global logistics network for a new product line

  • Creating a Product Operations team to champion the voice of the customer

  • Building an outsourced Customer Support program

  • Centralizing related but distributed functions under one Scaled Services team

  • Playbook-ing a scalable approach to footprint expansion for brick & mortar companies

What we hear from scaling companies:

  • “We are launching a new business line and everybody at our company knows how to manage a business…but not how to launch one & scale one from scratch."

  • “A previous leader implemented a tool that is no longer working for us, but the house of cards of processes we’ve built on top it makes choosing a new one feel impossible.”

  • "We have a 4-6 week lead time to get new customer service agents productive…and keep needing to hire more every single month."

  • "Our Product team keeps de-prioritizing the features and fixes that our customers and agents are desperate to have."

  • "We’ve been running successfully on a massive Excel spreadsheet for years…but as of late it keeps crashing, and now we need to quickly implement a more sophisticated tool."

Meet the Team

Kelly & Kelly are seasoned operators and startup execs that decided to partner up under the name Kairos Studio to help companies bring new initiatives to life.

They thrive in the “Zero-to-One” phase with their experience (re)building orgs from scratch, scoping out successful new product launches, and uncovering areas for technology-based innovation at hyper-growth startups like Uber, Snap, Airbnb & more.

They’ve “been there & done that” many times over, and as such can launch and build the operational structure you need to grow your company. 

What people are saying about Kairos Studio

We knew the risk in launching our first BPO, so we kept putting off doing it. Kelly from Kairos Studio helped us move quickly & confidently to a more efficient Operational model, there really isn’t anyone quite like her in both breadth & depth of knowledge.
— VP Ops, Series C Marketplace
We didn’t realize how broken the connection between our Product & customer facing teams was until Kelly got involved. She created robust frameworks, strategies & voice of the customer reports that have proven invaluable.
— VP Product, Series D HealthTech
We didn’t have anyone at our company to launch a new business line. Kelly from Kairos Studio helped us build the foundation and get it up and running, while working with our existing leadership team. To find someone who can quickly get up and running *and* solve problems both creatively & efficiently is a rarity these days!
