Trailhead is particularly focused on working with post-seed and Series A start-ups that are seeking COO-type support, but perhaps aren't quite ready to bring on a full-time COO.

Trailhead also welcomes engagements with growth stage and established companies, as well as investment firms, that are looking for someone to tackle specific, relevant projects in the realm of tech and media, including companies and firms that would benefit from having someone on the ground in Los Angeles.
