Operators for founders who need to get to their next customers.
About Inside Startups
We get companies their next customers. Inside Startups is a team of operators who have built and sold companies, working with founders on the part that decides everything: getting a product in front of people who will actually pay for it. We do that through three programmes, one for each stage. The First Mile, for founders with a concept and nothing built yet. Thirteen weeks from an idea to a working product, tested and ready to take paying customers, with the build delivered for you and the commercial work coached alongside it. Three places a quarter. The Second Mile, for companies that have won their first customers and now need to turn that into something repeatable. The Long Run, for established companies, consultancies and product businesses that need demand they can rely on rather than a pipeline that depends on the founder. Alongside the programmes we run founder coaching, embedded fractional operators, and AWS grant routes for companies that qualify. We bring hands-on experience across AI, infrastructure, SaaS and deep tech. Not frameworks borrowed from textbooks, but the pattern recognition that comes from having built, scaled and turned around companies across multiple sectors and market cycles. Our team has raised capital, closed enterprise deals, led operational resets and navigated M&A, and has coached dozens of founders through the same transitions. inside-startups.com
