Product ships but growth isn't responding.
That's the pattern I specialize in. Usually it's a disconnect between what's being built and what customers or GTM actually need. I find the disconnect and fix it — fast.
I'm Ryan Eberhard. I take two engagements at a time. If there's a fit, the conversation is whether timing works.
Why It Works
I've spent my career inside the problem you're dealing with.
At ZipRecruiter, I was CPO for eight years. I built the product org from the ground up — Series A through NYSE, $100M to $900M in revenue, 46% YoY organic growth.
At JobGet, I stepped in as President when burn was $2M/month and growth was stalling. We found the path to profitability, pushed revenue past $100M, and created the cost discipline that enabled the acquisitions of Snagajob and Seasoned.
At Swing Education, I took over as CPTO when scaling costs were outpacing growth. We cut OpEx and COGS by 50%+ YoY while maintaining product velocity — including a full AI transformation of operations.
The common thread: I clarify the strategy, tell the story to the board and the team, and then ship against it in the same quarter.
For Investors
If you have a portfolio company 2-3 quarters post-funding where growth hasn't responded to the capital, I can usually tell you why within a week.
