Smarter moves, better timing
OperatIQ™ is Startup Partners’ proprietary framework for helping founders make confident, well-timed operational decisions.
It combines operational insight, financial modeling, and external signals—like market indicators and macro trends—to guide fundraising, hiring, scaling, or pivoting decisions. Solid business, financial and operating plans are always a critical part of startup planning. The ability to deviate from those plans when the timing is right is the DNA of a startup. OperatIQ™ helps founders execute with structure, precision, and clarity.
Backed by data, driven by timing, and built for startups.
