Where generalists and founders build startups that scale

Founders need generalists.

We are a curated collective of startup-obsessed generalists building early-stage startups. of All Trades leverages cross-functional operators to build and scale for mission-driven founders. We’ve reimagined how innovative founders build their teams, and where career generalists find a professional home.

We don't do everything. But we're masters of more than one.

Our cooperator brings generalists with intersecting skills into the key organizational gaps of your startup. As the world goes fractional & freelance, we believe in the power of many. For startups starting to scale, working with our team makes the most of these messy beginnings, combating early employee burnout and focusing efforts on the work that will make a measurable impact.

How we do it is as important as what we do.

01
We're process nerds

Our generalists are cross-functional operators with strengths in going from nothing to something (big). We believe in the power of systems thinking and untangling startup mess to make the early days the best days.

02
We own the early days

We’re experts at securing the right early stage tools and crafting key rules that support the incredible people who are scaling your startup.

03
We're set up for you to grow

We work with founders to systematize their vision, and unlock potential for scale. With our hands as founder proxy and team support, we extend startup reach to achieve milestones quickly.

04
We're GaaS (generalists-as-a service)

Startups are hard. They need hands, help, and heart. We are startup people helping startup people, and put relationships and humans first, always.

We believe that building a strong internal product is the foundation to scale, and that generalists build that product.

Post idea-stage startups succeed because they’ve taken their “why” and crafted a clear “how”, and the best ones do it by using behavioral science and product manager methodology on their internal product. Some call it culture. We think it’s something more. We’ve watched generalists naturally apply these principles for success.

Interior of an art studio

Here's what we've discovered; skilled generalists are expert internal product managers.

We use the fundamental principles of behavioral science most often used by product leaders building customer-facing products to create ideal operating systems and working environments for scaling startups. The byproduct of your internal product is your culture. And once you're a startup of more than one person, you have a culture that affects your ability to grow. Our work fundamentally builds your culture, system by system.

Here's what we do.

Icon strategy and marketing
Setup the Tools

The tools you choose affect every part of your external product. We know them all and know how to use them.

Icon execution and production
Identify the Rules

Rules are simply constraints on how to and not to use internal systems. We right-size this for every startup team.

Icon brand identity
Support People

We fit your systems for your people, and bring in hands to be your founder proxies and support team, flexing functions as needed.

Icon product design
Create Culture

Your team's work habits compound have an outsized effect on your operations. We fit your systems for your people.

We’re not fractional. We’re integral. 

Early stage startups need generalists to get started and grow. Generalists need a landing place in a diverse and flexible career. We're solving both problems at once.

P.S. Did you know that the phrase "jack of all trades, master of none" often gets cut off to remove its key component?
The entire phrase is actually - "Jack of All Trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one"?
We're here to make sure we don't forget that the last part is the most important part.
