Our Thesis: Distribution first. Product second.

Real GTM leverage comes from designing around distribution rails, and letting the product express itself through them.

Most investors think:

ICP → product → sales motion → scale

Our model is:

Distribution rails → revenue access → signal creation → product shaping → sales motion → scale

What we do at Operator Labs

I partner with just 3–5 founders per quarter through one of two paths:

1

Upfront Operating Partnership

Equity for time, I join from day one as a hands-on partner.

2

Capital + Operating Partnership

Equity for investment + time, I invest capital and operate alongside you.

Every engagement begins with a free working session. Value first, no pitch.

Let's talk

What Founders Say

Chris Esplin

Josh and I built a two-sided marketplace together and sold it within 6 months of launch after reaching $150k in annualized revenue within the first two months. Josh is hyper-motivated. He drove sales and ops and let me focus on shipping code. Josh was easy to work with and I'll co-found again with him anytime.

Alexander Yakobchuck

Hey Josh! Wanted to let you know I took your advice about focusing on door to door and commission based work. This month we are looking at 30-40k in revenue and I hope to be at 100k a month by the end of this year. Thank you for your help!

I had the opportunity to work with Josh for about a year, and it was an outstanding experience. He's exceptionally driven, motivated, and always thinking of new and creative ways to grow and scale. Josh's leadership and forward-thinking mindset make him someone worth learning from, and I highly recommend working with him whenever you get the chance.
