Helping founders turn insight into execution

We work with early-stage startups to go from feedback… to funding — and lock in their path to scale.

"We're not just advisors. We’re your embedded fractional operator — part strategy, part builder, fully aligned and interlocked with your mission."

The Problem We Solve

Startups are flooded with advice from investors, mentors, and accelerators — but most struggle to put it into action.

They're also overwhelmed by the explosion of AI tools, without a clear strategy for how to actually use them to move faster or operate smarter.

"Refine your story" — but what does that mean?
"Tighten your model" — but you’re busy building.
"Polish the deck" — but you lack a strategy operator.

Founders don't need more advice. They need someone who can embed, build, and drive execution.

What We Do

We help startups move faster and scale smarter:

Build compelling, investor-ready pitch decks
Translate VC feedback into clear business objectives
Craft go-to-market and U.S. entry strategies
Execute until scalable processes are in place
Leverage AI tools to accelerate execution and enhance strategy workflows

Who We Work With

Korean startups entering the U.S. market
Seed to Series A founders without ops/strategy leads
Technical teams who need help telling their business story
Startups stuck in the feedback-to-funding gap

Why Scalelock

Led by an operator who's sat on every side of the table — founder-facing, investor-facing, and execution-deep — bringing a rare combination of:

Strategic insight – from advising investors and growth-stage companies
Startup speed – as StratOps Director at Ridecell, securing a $50M Series C
Technical execution – leading AI GTM and ecosystem growth at Google

Most are either strategic or technical. Scalelock brings both— and apply that experience directly to early-stage teams looking to scale with precision.
