COO and CIO Services
Turning Vision into Value
We are a business expansion firm providing COO & CIO services tailored for startups, founders, and evolving teams. We specialize in serving PE and VC portfolio companies in series A through D funding rounds.
Founded by Todd Smith, a seasoned leader with a rich history in business management and systems across hypergrowth companies—Docker, Snapchat, and Facebook—OpenBlok bridges the gap between business strategy and technology. With an MBA and a Bachelor of Science in Business, Todd honed his expertise through ushering two companies through IPO to enterprise maturity. He has worked with 85 VC and PE backed acquisition targets to scale operations and provide strategic planning. At OpenBlok, we leverage this experience to deliver actionable insights and solutions that drive your business forward.
About
Building a company is a wild ride. During early stage startups, the ops demands take a back seat to product development and customers. I founded OpenBlok to offer VC and PE portfolios a scalable leadership option to solve ops and system challenges. We help with growth such as ops scaling, system development and integration management–we remove the stress of ops so founders can focus on immediate goals.
