Together, we build the fastest-growing and most innovative companies in the world.

We help operators succeed.

OG is the ultimate "phone a friend." I have immediate access to a group of folks who will immediately try to solve whatever hairy problem I'm working through. They are also wicked smart, collaborative, and fun to hangout with.
Stella Treas,
Chief of Staff
at GitLab
It has been game changing having the ability to crowdsource answers to difficult operational challenges from hundreds of smart operators that have seen it all before and can help you navigate any issue, large or small.
Todd Rakow,
CFO
at Gladly
What’s really helpful about OG is that it's a group of individuals who genuinely enjoy growing and scaling companies. We are all startup operators who have faced similar problems at different stages of companies' growth. And because most of us are in similar roles at similar levels, it's easy for newcomers to enter and join the conversation.

OG has grown with me as I've progressed in my career and exposed me to relevant learning opportunities along each step of the way. I'm incredibly grateful for its talented members and the spirit of camaraderie we've been able to cultivate together.
Andy Toung,
CSO
at Gusto
What I like the most about OG is the caliber and genuine camaraderie among the members of this network. I have built lifelong friendships and learned a lot both personally and professionally from many OG members.
Beatrice Pang,
CFO
at Trusted Health
As an early member of OG, I've felt the benefit of this group deeply as I've grown in my career and changed jobs over the years. The collective wisdom of OG is incredibly powerful. No matter how nuanced the question, there is always someone in OG willing to help.
Emily Westerhold,
Financial Partner
at a16z
I like the network. If I ever need a job, want to find someone a job, or any of my clients want to find someone, it’s a great place to find people. It’s vetted people. It’s not just a job board –there’s social credibility.
Young Han,
Founder
at Forever Young Agency
I can’t explain how valuable the Operators Guild was in my job search. Members reached out about roles, offered warm introductions, shared benchmark comp data for my target roles, provided advice on how to negotiate my offers and support throughout the entire process.
Brandon Blahnik,
Sr. Dir. of Customer Success
at Atmosphere
Operational roles are never one size fits all. Operators Guild has proven to be an invaluable resource to me given the breadth and depth of the conversations across Finance, Operations, M&A topics and more. Many remote communities claim to bring together talented individuals looking to learn from each other, but OG actually does it!
Arthur Levy,
CSO
at Brex
I get multiple opinions when I ask tactical and high level questions about anything related to strategy / finance / ops. I also feel I am learning things that seem irrelevant to my day at the time but all of a sudden tend to become relevant. I feel I became a more well rounded professional just through following the discourse on OG.
