Mpowa: fractional COO through a pre-seed raise
Nine months as fractional COO: the plan, the pitch deck, and an exec team pulling in one direction.

1 team
aligned behind one plan
The situation
Mpowa is pre-seed and looking for its first funding. The exec team has ideas and energy, but no shared plan, and the story for investors is not yet clear.
What I did
I worked as fractional COO for nine months.
- Built the business plan with the founders.
- Created the pitch deck and shaped the story for investors.
- Set the exec team strategy, and kept the team focused on the same priorities.
Why it worked
Investors back a clear plan and a team that agrees on it. I gave Mpowa both.
