Diagnostic
Find out what's actually holding you back.
- Interviews across your leadership team
- The real problem, written down
- 3–5 prioritised initiatives
Small enough to start quickly. You keep the results either way.
Operators, not advisors.
We're former founders, CTOs and product leaders. We join your team, fix what breaks between Series B and D and stay until your people can run it themselves.
What we do
Three ways to work with us
Most clients start with the diagnostic. Then we decide together whether a bigger engagement makes sense.
Then one or both
Scale the organisation
3–6 monthsBuild the operating model your next stage needs.
- Org design and team structure
- Product and engineering operating model
- KPIs and leadership coaching
Built with your team in your own tools, so nothing gets lost in a hand-over.
AI in your operating model
3–6 monthsPut AI where it changes how your company works.
- Use cases ranked by real impact
- The first ones live in production
- Teams trained to own them
If AI isn't your bottleneck, we'll tell you.
Your team runs it
No knowledge or access left that only Tekkr holds.
How we work
The team that diagnoses is the team that builds.
There's no hand-off between strategy and execution. We diagnose, build the operating system together with your team and only step back once your people run it without us. At the end, no knowledge or access sits only with Tekkr.
