Three services. One operator. Hire fractionally.

Hayat Amin runs three services fractionally for founders of Series A through pre-IPO companies: the CFO function, IP & data strategy, and AI agent operations. Engagements last 4 weeks to 18 months. Defaults are 16–24 hours per week, remote-first, with quarterly on-site weeks in NYC, London, or Dubai.

The three services in one sentence each

• Fractional CFO. Run the finance function through a fundraise, exit, or post-acquisition integration without a full-time hire. Read the service spec →
• IP & data strategy. Turn dormant patents, datasets, and AI models into licensable revenue and exit-multiple uplift. Read the service spec →
• AI agent operator. Deploy agentic AI into finance, legal, and GTM workflows with measured cost-to-serve reduction and revenue lift. Read the service spec →

Who hires Hayat

• Founders raising a Series A through Series D.
• CEOs of pre-IPO companies preparing exit diligence.
• PE-backed CEOs running operational improvement plans pre-resale.
• AI startups that need to price model-weight IP for their first major contract.
• Patent owners sitting on dormant portfolios who want a licensing P&L.

How engagements run

The default starting point is a 60-minute IP & valuation diagnostic. No deck, no proposal — one call, one number. After that, engagements take one of three shapes:

What you get in the first 30 days

• A written defensibility score covering patents, data, and model IP.
• The royalty range your current portfolio supports, with comparables.
• The next 3 IP filings ranked by exit-multiple impact.
• A 90-day operating plan signed off by you and your lead investor.

Geographies

Hayat operates from New York, London, and Dubai. Most engagements are remote with quarterly on-site weeks scheduled around your board cycle.
