About me

Operator, ex-founder, ex-CPA.

Grace Guo, founder of Method Ops

I'm Grace. I built Method Ops because I wish it existed when I was a founder. I cover startup finance & ops from end-to-end and I'm fluent across both crypto and traditional stacks.

I'm a former CPA, trained at Goldman Sachs. Recently, I was Operations Lead at Axiom.xyz (Series A ZK infrastructure), founding COO at e^{i} Ventures (venture studio), and Co-founder & CEO of omo, a stablecoin payments startup.

I've been a founder, and I've been an operator, so I am uniquely empathetic to founders and what they need from an ops person. That context is core to how I operate. You can reach me at gg@methodops.co.

Built for

Founders bring me in for one of three reasons.

To set up their finance & ops for the first time, or clean it up.
To focus on being a founder and stop running ops on the side.
To work with an operator fluent in stablecoins & crypto ops.
What I do

Here's what I take off your plate.

I run the day-to-day and coordinate with everyone else in your stack. I'll flag when something actually needs your attention. The result: ops that founders stop thinking about.

How we work

Two ways to work together.

I work with a small number of startups at a time, so I can stay close to each one. Add-on projects like AI agents, fundraise data rooms, product UAT (user acceptance testing), etc. scoped separately.

Setup / Cleanup

A 10-week project to set up or untangle your finance & ops.

Ops Retainer
