## Services

### 1. Capital Allocation Reset & Execution Recovery (For Funded Startups)

**Page:** https://wackermanagement.com/services/funded

**Target Clients:**
- $2-15M revenue companies
- Post-seed or Series A funded
- 15-50 employees
- 12-24 months runway
- Located in Manhattan or Brooklyn

**Problem Solved:**
Post-funding execution drag. Companies that hired for projected growth but revenue came slower than expected. Cost structure doesn't match actual revenue. Founder is back in every decision. Execution has stalled.

**What Wacker Management Does:**
- Capital allocation reset: Align burn with actual growth trajectory, separate growth drivers from legacy costs, extend runway without killing momentum
- Execution constraint removal: Remove founder as decision bottleneck, narrow priorities to what matters, restore decision speed

**Engagement Structure:**
- Week 1-2: Diagnostic (P&L review, burn analysis, constraint identification)
- Week 3-4: Priority Reset (capital allocation scenarios, objective compression, decision rights reset)
- Week 5-12: Execution Sprint (implementation support, decision forcing, handoff system)

**Duration:** Fixed 90-day engagement  
**Exit Criteria:** Constraint removed, operating rhythm established, founder no longer in day-to-day execution

**Typical Results:**
- 40%+ runway extension
- Decision cycle time reduced from weeks to days
- ~60% reduction in founder decision load

**Target Clients:**

- ROI-ranked action plan

**NYC-Specific Expertise:**
