let's test something small together quickly

so you can grow & scale sooner.

Founders and investors partner with us to design lean companies, and find product-market fit fast.

We join founders in the work of running lightweight growth tests to find leading indicators of product-market fit. From there we prototype, test, grow, and repeat.

Pre-seed through Series A

Before founders invest in first hires or design and development partners, we help prove out big market opportunities and gain undeniable product-market-fit.
Pre-seed

For Pre-seed founders, we act as active advisors to guide founders through the process of measuring pain points, generating demand, and testing pricing to get ready to raise their seed round.

Seed

For Seed founders, we act as your interim CPO to help prove out product-market fit. Get your customer feedback flywheel going to de-risk investment in tech and growth and find the metrics you need to raise a Series A.

Series A

For Series A+ founders, we operationalize product and growth best-practices to lay foundations for full-time hires to run the product-market fit engine that will continue to iterate for the lifecycle of your company.

Carrie Murphy, CPO Venture For America
Testimonial

"We partnered with Further Faster in 2022 to re-imagine our Accelerator program. They ran a collaborative, hands-on process that allowed us to revamp a 3-month program and full curriculum in 6 weeks. They were a great partner throughout the entire planning process and we're grateful for their help!"

Zachary Ratliff, CEO, Proof In Recovery
Testimonial

"Being a founder is grueling and lonely. Unlike a typical 9-5, you don't have a boss evaluating your day-to-day work and without that feedback loop it's easy to feel lost. Further Faster has helped keep me positive, connect with the Chicago startup community, and gain confidence in my founding vision through customer validation. They have also built a human focused culture at their company that I plan to emulate."

When should I partner with you?

We typically work with pre-seed and seed stage companies because we specialize in product-market-fit. That being said, our process of deep research and fast prototyping is helpful for any stage company with a new idea.

At what point do you invest/ take equity?

We work with founders to match them with the right investors instead of the traditional Venture Studio model of building and funding our own companies. We stay off your cap table until you're ready to bring us on as advisors, or we participate in a SPV or syndicate deal.

What is your model?

We collect fees similar to what a full time senior executive on your team would make; around $3k per week up to $20k per month, all while building alongside you so you can internalize these methods for yourself. Founders typically invest between 3-6 months with us. Our time together yields a product, brand, go-to market strategy, hiring plan, and revenue model that is ready to be developed and funded.
