Southpaw Lab provides strategic consulting for growing companies and mission-driven organizations navigating expansion, fundraising, and market growth — especially when the path forward isn’t obvious.

how we work

We partner with companies and mission-driven organizations navigating moments of growth, expansion, or change. Most of our work happens through monthly retainers. This allows us to focus on clarity, judgment, and momentum — rather than a fixed list of deliverables.

If you’re looking for a one-off output, we may not be the right fit.
If you’re looking for a strategic thought partner who helps you decide what actually matters next — we might be.

Strategic Growth & Market Entry Retainer

Rather than pre-defining outputs, we focus on decision-making, sequencing, and follow-through — adapting week to week as new information emerges.

Designed for:
‍
‍

International companies expanding into the U.S.
Growing companies navigating go-to-market, fundraising, or sales inflection points
Mission-driven organizations balancing growth with impact

What this looks like in practice:
‍
‍

Ongoing strategic guidance across growth, positioning, and market entry
Support for U.S. expansion planning, partner strategy, and narrative alignment
Fundraising and pitch strategy as needed
Real-time prioritization as conditions change (because they always do)

Engagements are structured as ongoing monthly retainers, designed for teams who value continuity and momentum.

Focused Engagements (By Fit)

For teams who need support around a specific moment or skill set, we occasionally take on short-term work — intentionally scoped and time-bound.

This may include:
‍
‍

Go-to-market or growth strategy sprints
Sales process and pipeline design
Pitch delivery coaching for founders and leadership teams

If deeper support is needed, let's talk about it.

start-ups ready for intentional growth

You’re past experimentation for experimentation’s sake. You want to scale strategically, attract the right partners, and build momentum that lasts.

mission-driven organizations

You care deeply about impact and sustainability, and you’re looking for thoughtful support that helps amplify both — without losing sight of your values.

curious, early AI-adopters

You’re interested in what AI can actually do for your work — sharper insights, faster learning, and more meaningful connections — not hype or hand-waving.

founders and creators at an inflection point

Big ideas, small teams, and a lot of energy — paired with a real decision to be made about what comes next.

These are the core capability areas we draw from in our engagements.

Not every client needs all of them — and that’s intentional.
