Veteran COO Jason Ruppert applies $225M fundraising & exit expertise to solve startup execution challenges amid tightening venture markets Research Triangle Park, NC 09-23-2025
Ruppert Strategy Partners (RSP) today announced its launch to help venture-backed startups and their investors close the critical execution gap that contributes to nearly 90% of startup failures. Founded by Jason Ruppert, a seasoned COO with more than 20 years of experience raising more than $225 million and scaling multiple hardware and semiconductor companies to successful exits, RSP delivers tailored advisory services that embed operational discipline to protect runway and accelerate growth. “As venture capital becomes more selective, startups face mounting pressure to execute flawlessly in line with their vision,” said Jason Ruppert, Founder and Principal of RSP. “Achieving product-market fit is only the beginning—many founders stumble at process-market fit, where immature operational systems fail to keep pace with demand, putting investor capital at risk. Disciplined execution is today's true competitive edge.” Execution Risks That Derail Startups
- Operational spend outpacing product readiness, rapidly draining runway
- Fragile supplier ecosystems that fail under volume and quality demands
- Immature quality and reliability systems that cause costly yield loss and customer escalations
- Fragmented IT infrastructure that slows decisions and limits scalability
RSP’s cross-functional and hands-on advisory approach includes operational diagnostics, strengthening supply chains, advancing quality frameworks, and scaling IT infrastructure. For investors, RSP provides due diligence and post-investment support designed to safeguard capital and unlock predictable growth milestones. “Every dollar raised should extend runway—not patch avoidable mistakes,” Ruppert added. “Our mission is to help startups move beyond survival toward predictable, scalable success that meets investor expectations.” About Ruppert Strategy Partners
