Work feels repetitive
Your skills are being completely wasted on repetitive tasks. You're capable of strategic thinking, problem-solving, & real impact, but your current role doesn't let you use any of it.
Passed up for promotions
You keep applying for promotions or better jobs, but nothing’s breaking through. Your current skill set isn't standing out the way you need it to.
Your job doesn't feel secure
Downsizing is happening. Companies are cutting their workforce left and right. Traditional admin, bookkeeping, HR, and support roles are being automated or eliminated.
Limited growth
You've hit a ceiling. There's no room for growth, no opportunities to expand your skills, and no realistic way to move up.
Under-valued & under-paid
You show up and do the work, but it doesn't matter. You're treated like you're replaceable.

Life Changing
Exit
Kateryna immigrated from Ukraine with her family. She went from marketing coordination to become a Startup Operations Manager.
As a SOM, she received equity as part of her compensation package, something she never would have gotten in a traditional role.
She managed operations, built systems, and became indispensable to the team. She was excited about the work, appreciated by leadership, and finally using all of her skills.
Then the company was acquired for $370 million.
Her equity payout changed everything. She paid off her personal loans, her student loans, and bought her first condo. Her entire family's financial trajectory shifted in a single moment.
This is what's possible when you become the highly sought after professional every startup needs.
Rewarding
and
Formative
Experience
in my Career
"Working in startup environments has been one of the most rewarding and formative experiences in my career. I’ve always been drawn to the energy and fast-paced nature of startups, where no two days are the same and opportunities to learn are constant. Being part of these environments allowed me to wear multiple hats and step beyond traditional role boundaries, which accelerated both my professional growth and confidence.
Startups also provided me with meaningful opportunities to collaborate across department vendors and team players. Working on finance, HR, facilities, and technical groups gave me a comprehensive understanding of how each function contributes to overall success. It reinforced the importance of cross-functional alignment and communication and helped me develop a holistic view of operations where every piece plays a critical role.
What continues to excite me most about startups is being part of something innovative and forward-thinking. These experiences have shaped me into a versatile and proactive operations professional who enjoys building, collaborating, and continuously learning."

What makes you sure I'll get hired?
I'm already so busy. Do I have time for this?
What if learning all these areas is too overwhelming?
Why is this better than going back to college?
What if I can't afford it right now?
Many companies have professional development budgets that go unused every year. SOM Academy qualifies as career training, and your employer may cover part or all of the cost. We'll help you make the case.
If your employer needs specific information, a syllabus, learning outcomes, certificate details, reach out and we'll provide whatever they need.
Helen has been working with tech startups for years, she created SOM Academy because she couldn't keep up with demand. There are more startups looking for qualified SOMs than she could actually help.
Now, instead of going in herself, she teaches the smart and talented individuals, the exact skills tech startups need. Because she works with startups every day and knows exactly what they're looking for, she knows what works to make tech startups successful. And in her program, she unveils hidden gems and strategies from her playbook, giving you all the tools you need to be successful.
You're learning from someone who's actively placing SOMs and has direct connections to startups who are hiring.
In 6-12 weeks, you could be exactly who they're looking for. The people who enroll first get first access to these opportunities as they come in.
