Brand partnerships

Chiefs don't trust logos. They trust people.

Every tool says it's built for operators. Partner with YCoS and your brand gets introduced by a 3x Chief of Staff that 3,000+ Chiefs, founders and operators already read, so the trust is earned before they ever see your name.

Why it works

Chiefs of Staff are paid to be skeptical.

They vet tools for their CEOs and have heard every "built for operators" pitch. What gets past the filter is a recommendation from someone who has done the job.

The person behind YCoS

Hi, I'm Elise. 3x Chief of Staff.

I've spent 15+ years in early-stage startups helping founders scale, with two exits along the way. Now I run Your Chief of Staff: the newsletter, job board and community where Chiefs come to get better at the job.

I only partner with brands I'd recommend to my own team. That's why it works.
