About
Shadow Operating With Sekaidesign: Performance-Driven Partnership
What We Do
We partner with engaged micro-creators (10K-150K followers) to build and run their digital product business from behind the scenes. You focus on content and traffic. We handle everything else: offer development, product creation, funnel architecture, email sequences, and launch execution using AI-powered systems.
This isn't consulting. It's ownership. We're incentivized through revenue share to make the pie bigger, not to bill hours. Our success is directly tied to yours.
How It Works
We operate in the shadows—designing offers that convert, building products that deliver, engineering funnels that scale, and orchestrating launches that perform. You maintain creative control and brand voice. We bring operational precision and systems thinking.
Compensation structure: Revenue share (typically) or small base plus performance. No bloated retainers. No scope creep. Just aligned incentives and measurable outcomes.
From $0 to $100,000 in revenue.

Why Shadow Operating Works
Aligned Incentives
Revenue share means we only win when you win. No inflated timesheets or unnecessary meetings. Pure performance focus.
Speed to Market
Leverage AI and battle-tested systems to launch products in weeks, not months. Move fast without breaking things.
Proven Systems
Clean, scalable infrastructure built on frameworks that have generated millions. No guesswork, just replicable results.
Complete Execution
From offer design to post-launch optimization, we handle the full operational stack so you can focus on what you do best.
The sweet spot: Creators with engaged audiences who know their content converts but lack the bandwidth or systems knowledge to build a sustainable product business. You've proven product-market fit with your content. Now let's monetize your audience properly.
Our Service Architecture
01
Offer Development
We analyze your audience, identify high-value problems, and architect offers that your followers will actually buy. Positioning, pricing, packaging—all optimized for conversion.
02
Product Creation
Build scalable digital products using AI-assisted workflows. Courses, communities, templates, coaching programs—delivered with quality and speed.
04
Launch Execution
Orchestrate launches with military precision. Email campaigns, urgency mechanics, cart close sequences—we handle the operational complexity.
03
Funnel Engineering
Design conversion paths that guide traffic from awareness to purchase. Landing pages, email sequences, checkout flows—every touchpoint optimized.
05
Systems Integration
Connect your tech stack seamlessly. CRM, payment processors, email platforms and analytics, everything to maintain your system.
Philosophy
Operational Design Philosophy
Discretion
We operate behind the curtain. Your brand, your voice, your audience. Our systems, our execution, our accountability.
NDAs are standard. Client names stay confidential unless explicitly approved.
Rigor
Every system is documented. Every metric is tracked. Every decision is data-informed.
We build operations that scale without breaking, adapting to volume without losing precision.
Ownership
When we take on operations, we own outcomes. Not just deliverables—actual business results.
Revenue share aligns us completely. Your growth is our growth.
"The best operations are invisible. You only notice when they're not there."
ICP
Who This Is For
PE Portfolio Companies
Post-acquisition integration, operational efficiency drives, systems standardization across portfolio. Discrete projects with defined timelines and measurable outcomes.
Engaged Micro-Creators
10K-150K followers with proven engagement. Your audience trusts you, comments regularly, and asks how to work with you more deeply. You know there's a product business waiting to be built, but you're maxed out on content creation.
COOs and Ops Leaders
You're managing multiple initiatives with limited resources. Need fractional support on specific operational builds (Ops)—CRM implementations, workflow automation, process documentation, interim leadership during transitions.
Founders at Capacity
You've validated demand but lack operational bandwidth. Product ideas are stacking up. Launch timing keeps slipping. Your systems are held together with duct tape and good intentions. You need an operator who thinks like an owner.
Process
Our Process: Assess → Architect → Operate
Assess Reality
Deep dive into your current state. Audience analysis, content audit, existing systems review, revenue model evaluation. We identify gaps, opportunities, and operational bottlenecks.
Deliverable: Ops Readiness Scorecard with prioritized recommendations.
Architect Systems
Design the operational infrastructure. Offer positioning, product roadmap, funnel architecture, tech stack selection, workflow documentation. Everything documented, nothing assumed.
Deliverable: Complete operational blueprint with implementation timeline.
Operate Relentlessly
Execute with precision. Build products, implement systems, launch offers, optimize funnels, monitor metrics. We run operations end-to-end while you focus on content and traffic.
Deliverable: Revenue growth, measured weekly
