Brandi Dupre

Chief of Staff & Executive Business Partner

for founders who are building businesses in service of life on earth

(and need a little help along the way)

Flexible, On-Demand Support

Starting a mission-driven business is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do. It is also one of the loneliest.

No one prepares you for the pressure of carrying the vision alone, or the frustration of being pulled away from the work that matters most. In the early stages, it feels like everything depends on you — because often, it does.

Having the right support can change everything.

Chiefs of Staff are becoming more common because founders are realizing they cannot do it all alone. But hiring a full-time Chief of Staff early on is not always practical. Even when it is, most founders are not sure how to make the most of the role.

That is why I offer flexible, on-demand support built for founders like you.

  • Yes, you can schedule as many strategy calls as you need throughout the year, as long as there’s at least 48 hours' notice.

    The 48 hour notice is key to making this model work. It allows me to be thoughtful in scheduling, ensuring I can be fully present for you during our calls.

    It also gives us both a little time to organize our thoughts, which I’ve found often leads to more focused and productive conversations.

    Sometimes you’ll need more support and sometimes you’ll need less. That’s the way this program was designed to work.

    In practice, I’ve found that people use this service thoughtfully and have yet to find myself in a situation where someone is abusing this model.

  • Funding remains one of the biggest hurdles for impact-driven organizations, and I know how hard it can be to make progress while working within those constraints.

    I find myself in this same position. As cheesy as this sounds, offering this service is more about me fulfilling my purpose than it is about money. Yet, practical needs do not allow me to as freely gift my time as much as I wish I could.

    With that in mind, I offer two additional options for working with me:

    Sliding Scale: If my standard rate isn’t feasible, don’t let that stop you from reaching out. Share what you’re working on and what you think you need, and we’ll figure out an arrangement that works for both of us.

    Advisor or Board Roles: If your mission aligns deeply with mine and there’s a clear way I can add value, I’m open to serving in an advisory or board capacity.

    If you’d like to work together in some capacity, let’s connect.
