Leeg Group

As startup owners, time is our most valuable resource. Yet 40% of it is often spent on non-revenue generating tasks like hiring, HR, and payroll. https://loom.ly/GwotjT0 These operational duties are essential, but highly time consuming. It’s no wonder so many founders experience burnout and feel stretched thin. 😓 To sustainably scale, startup owners need to: 1. Be intentional about where you focus YOUR time and energy 2. Rethink your approach to the rest of it—whether through automation, outsourcing, or leveraging the right tools. We help founders focus on what really matters by taking the operational and financial burden out of organizations. Our talent models let you significantly reduce your operating costs while maintaining your team. #StartupSuccess #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneurship #TimeManagement

We are thrilled with the brand that GOOD Company (Creative Agency) created for Leeg. Their team listened to everything we had in mind for Leeg and developed a visual identity that truly represents what we bring to the table!

There are a lot of tech companies right now that should plan to never raise again, because it forces you to build a stronger business, but also because they may not get a chance Building within these constraints can be tough as they come at a time when these companies are still growing into their revenue, even if they are great businesses It's underappreciated though how many levers are available to companies to increase their runway - letting them get to a steady state Some easy examples that people should pursure include 1. Pulling cash forward from customers on deals. You can often sell longer-term subscriptions, offtakes etc. where a client pays you more now for better terms in the future. You just run this against your cost of capital and move forward if better. 2. Grants. Jennie Evamy Brady, MBA and Thin Air Labs do these all the time for names if you don't have a team to advance them. The TDAs at Alberta Innovates and other orgs are also great. 3. Outsource near-term hires. Fractional is less cost and less burn as role requirements arise. This can help bridge companies to when they need a full-time person. Happy to introduce people to fractional employees or you can use a firm like Leeg Group to fill your spots. 4. Venture debt; often cheaper and faster than a new round in many markets right now. Also gives you more room to plan and solve problems. Leo Tam does a good job of providing this with tech clients, and so does Jeffery Lightburn, CA. 5. Optimize working cap. Get more money on deposits. Track T&E and automate approvals. Extend payment terms with vendors. Get cashback on spend. Speed up receivables request. If you don't have someone with a finance background there are tons of great providers like Ramp that now do this for you. 6. Sell a right to sell your product, license it, or sell partnership exclusivity in a region (you want to put a term on this). You've built something good and partners will pay to provide their clients with the benefits of it or to be the only advantaged entity. 7. Factor receivables. This can be a slippery slope, but for some, it's a useful lever. 8. Sell non core parts of the business such as IP, or business units. One item that's underappreciated is it can sometimes be cheaper to sell a business unit for zero than shut it down (since various contract terminations can cost you a lot). There are lots of companies that may want that footprint (maybe you even find it's worth way more to them).

Today we launch Leeg. This is always the most exciting, nerve-wracking, stressful and did I say exciting part of starting a new business. It’s the day you pull back the covers and let the world know what you have been up to for the past 3, 6, 60 months. What you have poured your blood, sweat, and tears into - all because you want to make a difference, and believe this is the way. Entrepreneurship is not easy. It is not for the faint of heart. But it is definitely fun. And it is even more fun when you pull together a group of highly talented, intelligent, driven, and ambitious people who share a common vision - and are willing to collaborate, fight, and iterate for the best product that fulfills that vision. That’s what we have had the pleasure of achieving at Leeg. Collectively, we are driven to disrupt and transform how talent works, by fostering fluidity, flexibility, and scalability of talent and teams. Our vision is simple: enable the right fit and provide the talent you need for the time you need them. How we achieve this vision has been hard - and we have learned a lot. But what we have come up with is unlike anything the market has seen before. For companies, Leeg will help reduce your operational costs by 20 to 40% while de-risking your overhead expenses. Simultaneously, we act as an individual Career Agent, providing them an earning structure that puts more money in their pocket, ensures job fit, establishes long-term job security, and a ton of perks that make their career work for them. Currently the Leeg Talent Community includes an exceptional group of professionals, consultants, creatives, and fractional talent across professions, industries, and areas of expertise. And we have just opened the waitlist to add more. On the business side, we are incredibly thankful to the early adopters that took a chance on us, including the teams at JA Canada, Wealthie Works, SAIT and Fillip. The incredible Leeg Team that is bringing this to market includes Bri Falls, Nigel Istvanffy, Emma Brown, and Dragana Kelly. With a slew of other high performers working behind the scenes, that we are excited to tell you about soon! Follow Leeg to stay up to date on our progress.
