Two services. One operator. Hire fractionally.

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

The two services in one sentence each

• Tech CFO & Strategist. Run finance and strategy through a fundraise, exit, or post-acquisition integration without a full-time hire; includes IP & data strategy that prices and monetises the assets you already own. Read the service spec →
• AI agent operator. An ex-operator and C-suite executive, not a developer: processes, automations, AI agents, agentic workflows, live databases, and real-time reports, deployed 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.
• CEOs who want AI running real processes without hiring a dev team or agency.

How engagements run

The default starting point is a 60-minute diagnostic. No deck, no proposal. One call, one plan. After that, engagements take one of these shapes:

What you get in the first 30 days

• A finance function audit: where the money leaks and what to fix first.
• A map of the processes AI should be running, ranked by P&L impact.
• The first automation or agent live inside your business.
• 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.
