Company mission

To create and curate a knowledge base filled with ops-specific content, tools, resources, and workshops to help operations professionals not only survive but thrive, at every stage of their ops career.

100% female employees

Our take

Operations Nation is a community-driven knowledge sharing and events hosting platform for Operations professionals of all levels. Now that startups are hiring COOs and other Ops staff much earlier in their lifecycle as they look to scale, Operations Nation is positioning itself as a resource and support hub for sharing and accessing best practices.

Though still in its early stages, the fact that the ecosystem’s three female co-founders are esteemed Senior Ops professionals themselves, with backgrounds at companies like Kibun Consulting, AZA, Sphere, and Reframe technologies, bodes well.

The company has been focusing mainly on producing content and organising conferences and other events, while securing sponsorship from industry stakeholders. The next big step will be to grow its member community, in turn building a richer ecosystem to offer more value and attract more people.
