For founders who don’t need more advice,
but a strategic partner at their side.
Someone who actually takes responsibility inside the business, not just gives input from the outside.
A long-term Founder Operations Partner for ambitious founders in growth. I work with founders who have momentum but are carrying too much of the business alone.
Someone who can stand beside you, take ownership, and help build the company with you, not just talk about it.
Co-founder energy without equity drama
Co-founder energy without equity drama
The reality behind the scenes
From the outside, things look good.
There’s traction. Revenue. Momentum.
But inside, it feels heavy.
You’re always “on”.
Decisions pile up faster than you can process them.
Important initiatives keep getting pushed forward.
Execution leaks between meetings, tools, and people.
Things get discussed, but not fully owned.
You’re the one who keeps track of what actually needs to happen.
You’ve tried delegating.
Maybe even hiring.
And still, everything comes back to you.
This isn’t because you lack ambition, competence, or drive.
It’s because too much responsibility still lives in your head, or passes your brain.
What this partnership actually is
This partnership exists to help you take advantage of the momentum you already have.
When we work together, I don’t just advise you on what to do.
I actively help:
plan and oversee your key projects
turn decisions into real execution
implement systems, launches, initiatives, and workflows for you. So projects don’t stall, decisions don’t linger, and progress doesn’t depend on you pushing it forward.
So while you focus on vision, leadership, and growth - your business is still being built in the background.
Consistently, in the right order.
That’s what I mean by hands-on operational support.
Why advice isn’t enough at this stage
At this stage of growth, advice isn’t the problem.
You already know what needs to be done.
The problem is carrying it, prioritising it, and making it happen.. at the same time.
You don’t need:
more frameworks
more inspiration
more people telling you what you “should” do
You need operational leadership embedded close to the decisions.
As your Founder Operations Partner, I work alongside you to:
translate strategy into clear operational priorities
reduce decision fatigue by creating structure and focus
support you in high-stakes decisions and planning
ensure execution actually happens, not just gets discussed
build a business that doesn’t rely solely on you
But more importantly:
I don’t just support you.
I take responsibility. Which means fewer open loops, less mental tracking, and more space to actually lead.
“I bring co-founder energy as your second brain and right hand - a long-term fractional COO partnership that takes care of execution, structure, and follow-through.”
Co-founder energy doesn’t mean more meetings.
And it doesn’t mean someone “helping out”.
It means:
someone who thinks with you
someone who challenges you when needed
someone who drives things forward when you’re stretched
someone who sees the business clearly when you’re too close
A second brain when your head is full.
A right hand when everything feels important.
A partner who stays close enough that you’re not the only one keeping things together.
Without the equity drama.
TRANSFORMATION QUOTE
“Ida is an invaluable partner in my company — she is my right hand and second brain. She brings structure and planning not just based on what usually works, but on how I, as a founder, want to work and live. She takes responsibility for both the details and the bigger picture in a way that allows me to relax and feel confident that I’m accomplishing a great deal in the business without becoming stressed — because the support is there.
Ida has strong leadership qualities, and it is incredibly valuable as a founder to have someone you can lean on who operates at your level, while at the same time complementing your strengths. Ida is one of the best investments I have ever made, and I cannot recommend her highly enough”
—Joella, founder of a mentorship and advisory space for entrepreneurs
Co-founder energy.
Second brain. Right hand. Long-term.
“What mattered most wasn’t just having someone to talk to, but having a true partner. Someone who genuinely cared, took action, and shared responsibility instead of tracking hours or waiting for instructions.
With Ida, I wasn’t alone in the hard days or the decisions. We could laugh, be human, challenge each other, and keep going - even in the valley of despair.
That partnership didn’t just move the business forward. It brought back joy, confidence, and belief in my leadership.
Ida isn’t a consultant who checks in from the outside: she’s a partner in the boat, rowing with you. That made all the difference for both my business and how I show up as a founder.
— Ulrika, founder of a DeepTech startupNot just advice. True partnership.
I combine operations expertise, mindset support, accountability and implementation so you don’t just plan for growth, you execute it.

As an angel investor, I’ve met founders with bold visions and real potential but one pattern stood out:
Ideas are everywhere. Execution is rare.
That insight led me to start N Star Advisory. I support founders & CEOs as a Founder Operations Partner — helping turn strategy into action when it matters most.
With a background in operational leadership (including running H&M stores at 21), I’ve built a career around making things happen. I bring structure, focus, and momentum — so founders & CEOs can move faster, make smarter decisions, and stay focused on what truly drives growth:
→ Revenue.
→ Relationships.
→ Raising capital.
My sweet spot is the messy middle — where vision meets reality, and progress can stall.
That’s where I come in.
I combine:
Operations expertise - so your systems actually work in the real world, not just on paper
Mindset support - to keep you grounded, confident, and resilient under pressure
Accountability - so the important work gets done, not just talked about
Implementation - because strategy without execution is just a plan
And uniquely, I help you sync your operational plan with your hormonal cycle - an overlooked but powerful advantage that helps founders protect their health, maximize energy and deliver results without burnout.
Because investing in help isn’t a luxury - it’s a growth strategy.
This works best for founders who are ready to hand over ownership, not add more to their plate.
If you’re ready to stop carrying everything yourself, let’s talk.
You bring the vision.
I’ll help make it real.
