StratRocket

Fast-track opportunity for an ambitious founding team

Hi, I’m John Knapp, StratRocket founder and CTO. To unlock it’s full potential, I’m putting StratRocket in the hands of a new founding team. The plan has three components:

1. Entrust StratRocket to a passionate and talented founding team
2. Execute an earn-out M&A transaction without heavy up front cash
3. Transition into a strategic advisory role to ensure their success

Curious? Read on or just start the conversation. And please tell your founder friends, thanks.

Reteaming + earn-out strategy

We will negotiate a win-win equity earn-out strategy (deferred payment) to enable the right core team to step in and immediately put their entire focus on growth. I will transition from founder to a strategic advisory role to advise all aspects of the business and support all members of the core team.

Founding team success criteria

The team needs a combination of leadership, growth, product, customer success and engineering. In addition to these skills, the team will need significant passion, conviction, grit and a founders mindset. Successful operators will be familiar with B2B SaaS and PLG / Reverse trial.

The team needs some personal runway and be ready to capitalize their operations via bootstrapping or pre-seed funding.

The team will be very well supported. As founder and CTO, I pioneered the vision, the solution and I created the alignment scoring algorithms, core AI algorithms and product architecture and infrastructure. My ongoing support will include continuity of vision, market potential, product innovation, product roadmap (next generation product functionality,) and hands-on engineering leadership across the entire stack.

What StratRocket does

Sold as an AI-native Strategy Alignment Platform, StratRocket bridges the strategy to execution gap most businesses face. This costly problem is responsible for the fact the majority of strategic business initiatives fail to deliver the expected ROI.

Some of the particular business challenges StratRocket solves include:

• Business lacks clear growth goals
• Leadership can’t explain growth goals
• Planning takes too long
• Planning overlooks critical execution details
• Staff misunderstand growth goals
• Staff don’t feel engaged in the growth process
• Staff are demotivated by edicts from leadership
• Overworked staff resist performing extra work

Who StratRocket is for

StratRocket is appealing to ambitious SMBs including product manufacturing and distribution businesses of between 50 and 5000 employees. Buyer personae include strategy directors, product leaders, product managers and operations staff.

How StratRocket works
