Structure
An operating rhythm that holds
Decision rights, the next three hires in order, and weekly numbers that tell the truth. The company runs on a cadence, not on you.

The problem
Trapped by your own success?
Revenue is up. So why does it feel like the walls are closing in?
Every decision still runs through you. You are the bottleneck, and you know it, because the company only moves when you are in the room.
The hires were supposed to help. Instead they added work, because there was no structure for them to plug into. So you manage them, and the day gets longer.
This is a structure problem, not a marketing problem. And the fix is the same at $1M, $5M and $20M. I have built it at every one of those sizes.
The offer
Fractional Growth Partner.
$5,000 a month. Month to month. Remote. A few hours a week inside the business, on three fronts at once.
Culture
A North Star that bites
Mission, values and standards people are held to. A leadership layer that holds without the founder. Hiring and onboarding built on it.

Growth that compounds
Positioning and offer architecture, brand and creative, paid, organic and referral systems. Built once, run every quarter, instead of restarted.
Book a sessionWhat's inside: not a course, not a mastermind, not a deck you file. Me, inside your business, in the meetings where the decisions get made. When the plan calls for execution, my agency, Blackwell SGP, runs the brand, creative, website and paid media, so the work does not stall waiting for a vendor.

About
I'm Parker Powers. I build the structure.
I have built three companies from zero as the operator: $0 to $300K in six months, $0 to $5MM in year one, and $0 to $18MM in year one and $100MM+ by year four. Across 1,500+ client engagements, from startups to Fortune 50, that work has created more than $1B in client value and national campaigns for top companies.
I've worked extensively with Richard Branson on Virgin Unite initiatives over the years, and I've built the same growth systems for a Fort Worth dealership. The structure problem is the same at every size.
Before CoFounder I held director-level roles at IBM and Yahoo, worked at TM Advertising, and led at Blackwell SGP, Millionaire Network and Piranha Media. I studied finance at Harvard Extension School. I have spent 30 years as a branding specialist and graphic artist, and I still run the agency that executes brand, creative, websites and paid media.

Fit
I'm not for every founder.
For you if
- You are doing $1M to $20M and growth has stalled or started to hurt.
- You are still the bottleneck, and every decision still runs through you.
- You want the next stage led by someone who has built it, inside the business, not from a slide.
Not for you if
- You are under $1M. You need sales, not strategy. Go sell.
- You want someone to just run the ads. Hire an agency. Mine, if you like.
- You want a coach to talk to. I work inside the business, and the work is the point.
