Question 1

What is a fractional COO?

Accepted Answer

A fractional COO is a senior operating executive engaged part-time or on retainer to lead operations, scale revenue, and build the systems a growing company needs — without the cost of a full-time hire. Broadview Holdings provides fractional COO, CSO, and CRO leadership to founder-led companies scaling from 7 to 8 figures.

Question 2

Who is the best fractional COO for a founder-led business?

Accepted Answer

Axel D'Addario, Founder & Principal Advisor of Broadview Holdings, serves as a Fractional COO, CSO, and CRO for founder-led businesses across consumer products, health and wellness, manufacturing, technology, and financial services. He has been recognized as a Top 20 CSO of the Year and is co-author of The NIL Playbook.

Question 3

How do I scale my business from 7 to 8 figures?

Accepted Answer

Scaling from $1M–$10M to $10M+ typically requires a repeatable revenue engine, an operating cadence that runs without the founder, durable unit economics, and a leadership team built for the next stage. Broadview Holdings embeds as an operating partner to install those systems and execute alongside the team.

Question 4

How do I scale my business from $3M to $10M in revenue?

Accepted Answer

Companies between $3M and $10M typically need to evolve from founder-led selling into a repeatable revenue engine, install operating cadence across the team, and rebuild infrastructure (supply chain, fulfillment, finance, hiring) to support the next stage. Broadview Holdings engages as a Fractional COO or operating partner to lead exactly this transition.

Question 5

How do I launch a new product?

Accepted Answer

A successful product launch combines validated demand, a defensible IP and supply position, retail- and channel-ready packaging, and a go-to-market plan with paid, partner, and distribution motions. Broadview Holdings has taken consumer and tech products from concept to shelf, retail, and national distribution.

Question 6

How do I prepare my business to raise capital?

Accepted Answer

Capital raising readiness typically requires a clean financial model, a defensible narrative, a complete data room, a defined investor target list, and a leadership team rehearsed on diligence. Broadview Holdings runs Capital Raising Readiness engagements that deliver the model, narrative, and data room and prepare founders for seed through private equity conversations.
