Fractional COO

On-demand operational leadership to optimize systems, improve execution, and support scalable growth.

At Audax Ventures, our Fractional COO services help founders and executive teams gain control of their operations without committing to a full-time hire. We bring structure, clarity, and accountability—building the systems and processes that support day-to-day performance and long-term growth.

What is a
Fractional COO?

A Fractional COO is a part-time or project-based operations executive who brings strategic oversight and executional leadership to your business. They work closely with your team to refine systems, lead cross-functional initiatives, and turn your vision into measurable, day-to-day action.

Whether you're scaling fast, experiencing operational bottlenecks, or preparing for investment or exit, a fractional COO helps create the operational backbone your business needs to succeed.

Why Choose a Fractional COO?
