HER Connections Help Everyone Rise

Build the systems before you need them.

I am Tess Robinson. I build the operations layer underneath early companies, and I back founders at the intersection of health, longevity, and AI.

If you need help now

Work together

Intensives, fractional COO and CMO, advisory. Pick the shape that fits what is breaking.

Does any of this sound like this week?

Tick what is true. There is no wrong answer, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Three ways in

However much help you actually want.

Every engagement starts with the same call and ends with things you own. Dashboards, documents, and processes that keep running after I step out.

Fixed scope · ~30 days

Systems Intensive

We pick the two or three systems that are actually blocking you, and I stand them up with you inside a month.

 Ongoing · Monthly

Fractional COO / CMO

I sit inside the company as your operating or marketing lead, running the cadence and owning the numbers.

 Retained · Light touch

Advisory

Standing time for founders who have a team and mostly need a second read on the decision they keep circling.

Who you would be working with

I started at the bedside, not in a boardroom.

Fifteen years across critical care, marketing, and venture. Today I am Managing Partner at FTB Capital Group and I run HER Connections, which means I have sat on both sides of the table. I know what makes an investor lean in, and I know what it costs the founder to get there.

Next step

Tell me what is breaking.

Thirty minutes, no deck required. If I am not the right fit I will say so on the call, and usually point you at who is.
