​Fractional Integrator for Tech Founders Building Companies That Run Without Them
Embed operating discipline.
Reduce founder dependency.
Scale without the chaos.
You've got traction. You've got a capable team. But too much still runs through you.
Decisions are slow. Meetings multiply. Everyone's busy - but progress feels heavier than it should.
​
You're the blocker in your own business - and you know it.
​
We work as your fractional integrator, embedding clarity, cadence, and ownership so the business runs without you being in every decision.

You Need this if:
-
You're a deep tech or B2B SaaS founder carrying too much operational load
-
Your leadership team meets constantly but decides slowly
-
You don't have a simple weekly scorecard showing what actually matters
-
Growth is happening, but execution feels messier than it should
This Is Not For....
-
Idea-stage experimentation
-
“Advisory only” support
-
Founders who want reassurance instead of accountability
What a Fractional Integrator Actually Does
We don’t sit on the sidelines and advise.
We step in and run the operating rhythm with you.
That means:
-
Clear ownership and decision rights
-
A leadership cadence that replaces ad-hoc meetings
-
A simple weekly scorecard that drives behaviour
-
Fewer escalations, faster decisions
-
Founder time returned without losing control
The goal isn’t more process. It’s less friction.

Why Trove?
​
We're operators, not career consultants.
We've sat inside growing businesses, felt the friction first-hand, and know what breaks as companies scale. We combine operational discipline with a deep respect for culture, because systems only work if people actually use them.
Our job is simple: Make the business easier to run, and make ourselves unnecessary.
We don't do 90-slide decks.
We don't build process for process's sake.
We embed, stabilise, and step back.
Who we work with
Deep tech, climate tech, and B2B SaaS companies from seed to Series B.
Typically 4–50 people. Growing fast. Operationally stretched.
Serving startups and scaleups across Yorkshire, UK, and Europe.
