Why founders choose Astronomic for operations.

Back-office without the overhead

Hiring a full-time COO, CFO, or recruiter is expensive and premature for most early-stage startups. We give you the operational expertise on demand.

Startup-stage appropriate

We don't over-engineer. A 12-month forecast for a pre-seed company looks different from one for a Series A company. We build what's appropriate for your stage.

Integrated with the Astronomic ecosystem

Our operations team works alongside our development, marketing, and fundraising teams. When you need multiple services, we coordinate them so nothing falls through the cracks.

Orbit members pay half

A $2,500 recruiting engagement costs $1,250 for Orbit members. A $2,200/month PM retainer costs $1,100. Operational savings compound faster than any other category.

Common questions

Do you provide legal advice?

We handle entity formation and standard legal documents (operating agreements, bylaws, offer letters). For complex legal matters — fundraising documents, IP agreements, litigation — we refer you to our network of startup attorneys.

Can you help us build a hiring plan before we're ready to hire?

Yes. We can build a 12-month headcount plan as part of the financial forecast, or as a standalone deliverable. Knowing when and who to hire is one of the most important operational decisions a founder makes.

What does the project management service cover?

Sprint planning, stakeholder updates, risk tracking, and weekly status reports. We work in whatever tool you use — Notion, Linear, Jira, Asana. We adapt to your workflow, not the other way around.

How long does entity formation take?

Standard Delaware C-Corp formation takes 3–5 business days. Expedited filing (24-hour) is available for an additional fee.
