Operator-Led Strategic Advisory for Growth-Stage Businesses

The Distinction

Operators, not consultants

The fractional advisory market is crowded with consultants who have studied growth. Aperture Strategic Partners is different: we have lived it.

Our practice is built on 17 years of co-founding and scaling a national logistics company from zero to $150M — through PE-backed growth, organizational change, and every hard decision in between.

We work with a small number of companies at a time. That is not a constraint. It is the point.

"Companies between $10M and $150M need the kind of judgment that only comes from someone who has actually built something."

Andrew Lynch  ·  Founder

What We Do

Four ways to engage

01

Founder Advisory

The Thinking Partner

For founders navigating the gap between early traction and institutional scale. High-trust, low-structure. You drive the agenda. We bring pattern recognition from having been there.

$5M – $50M ~75% less than a full-time hire$3,000 – $7,500 / month  ·  vs. ~$26,000/mo fully loaded
02

Scale Advisory

GTM & Revenue Leadership

For companies with a revenue organization that needs to perform at a higher level. Weekly cadence, monthly GTM reviews, quarterly strategy sessions. Fractional CRO in rhythm — without the overhead.

$15M – $100M ~65% less than a full-time CRO$8,000 – $15,000 / month  ·  vs. ~$37,000/mo fully loaded
03

Board Advisory

Governance & Leadership

Formal board or advisory board participation for PE-backed companies navigating growth, transition, or institutional relationships. Independent perspective at the table when it matters most.

$25M – $150M+ $10,000 – $15,000 / month + equity
04

Executive Advisory Team

Three Operators.
One Engagement.

For companies that need more than one perspective at the table. The founding partners of Aperture Strategic Partners — available as a unified advisory team for select engagements. Three decades of compounded operator judgment, built scaling a national company to $150M, brought to bear on your business simultaneously.

$50M – $150M+ PE-Backed ~77% less than three fractional executives$25,000 / month  ·  vs. ~$111,000/mo fully loaded

All engagements are retainer-based. No deliverables. No decks. No hourly billing.

Andrew Lynch

Built for this.
Not trained for it.

Andrew Lynch spent 17 years as co-founder and President of Zipline Logistics, scaling the company from inception to $150M in revenue through multiple phases of PE-backed growth.

That experience — building revenue organizations, navigating institutional capital, hiring and leading executive teams — is the foundation of Aperture Strategic Partners.

The practice works with a deliberately small number of clients. Selectivity is the model.
