An operating partner, not a consultancy.
Plinth is a strategic and operating advisory built on the principle of embedding our experience, not phoning it in. We sit alongside founding teams and work through the hard problems in real time — what to build, who to hire, how to run the company, and how to tell the story to investors and customers alike.
Think of it as bringing on a deeply experienced operator for the stretch of the journey where getting these things right matters most — before the company has fully figured out what it is.
What we deliver: Many Happy Returns.
The full stack of company building.
Strategy & Planning
Defining where you're going, what winning looks like, and how to build a plan the whole company can execute against — including the operating rhythm to keep it on track.
Talent & Organisation
Building the team and the structures around it — recruiting philosophy, HR foundations, how you onboard, how you manage, and how you build a culture that compounds.
Finance & Investor Affairs
Building the finance infrastructure — the models, reporting, and analytics frameworks that actually inform decisions — and helping you tell a coherent, compelling story to current and prospective investors.
Go-to-Market & Customer Success
Shaping GTM strategy and building the customer success motion that turns early adopters into long-term advocates.
Earned in the trenches.
Helped build one of the most beloved travel companies in the world.

Guiding the buildout of planning, finance, people ops, GTM, and customer success — the full operating stack of a growing company, in real time.

You have early signal. Now it's about building the company that can scale what's working — the team, the systems, the story.
