Introduction
Alif is an accelerator program supporting 7–10 companies per batch, focused on scaling mission-driven startups in emerging markets. With a vision to streamline startup acceleration, Alif equips founders with the operational leverage they need to grow fast and efficiently.
Challenge
As Alif scaled its accelerator, the team encountered a bottleneck: portfolio companies were spending too much time on execution—cold outreach, admin tasks, investor coordination—and not enough time on strategy and growth. Without a dedicated support layer, startups struggled to execute go-to-market plans while maintaining investor relationships and internal operations.
Founders needed structured, repeatable systems and a reliable team to help them launch cold email campaigns, manage admin processes, and streamline relationship management—all without hiring in-house.
Solution
Founder’s Arm partnered with Alif to provide a scalable support system that could be embedded across the portfolio. We placed five highly skilled virtual assistants, each specializing in business development and operational execution. These professionals implemented standardized processes across key functions:
GTM execution
Cold email campaigns
Investor outreach coordination
Administrative operations
This allowed startup founders to reclaim their time and focus on growth, fundraising, and product development—while ensuring consistency and quality across execution.
