Founders Wanted: Build Your Business Faster (Operating Partner Opportunity)
Operator Laboratory partners with early-stage founders to take ideas and early traction to meaningful MRR thresholds through execution, strategy, and aligned incentives.
Who This Is For
You should apply if:
• You are actively building a business (idea, MVP, or early traction)
• This may be your first company or your fifth
• You want help getting to $20K–$100K+ in MRR efficiently
• You are willing to move quickly, take feedback, and execute
• You want a partner who has scaled and exited multiple companies
You should not apply if you are looking for:
• Passive mentorship
• Theory without execution
• We are hands-on
How This Works
You are applying to be considered for an operating partnership.
• We begin with a free working session (no pitch)
• We help pressure-test your idea, offer, and go-to-market approach
• If there is mutual fit, we step in as an active operating partner
• We work together to:
• Validate demand
• Build and refine offers
• Acquire customers
• Hit MRR milestones quickly
Engagements may evolve into equity partnerships based on traction and fit.
What We Bring as a Partner
• Multiple exits and experience scaling to $225M+ ACV
• Deep go-to-market, sales, and revenue execution experience
• Hands-on involvement across messaging, offers, pricing, and pipelines
• A strong bias toward speed, clarity, and revenue
We do not advise from the sidelines.
We help build and close.
Location
• Remote-friendly
• Operator Laboratory is based in San Diego, CA
How to Apply
Apply if you are thinking about building, or already building something and want to move faster.
