01 — The Challenge

Operational distractions were creating context-switching and draining growth-focused headspace

Workmate Labs, a startup building AI teammates for teams and companies, faced the common early-stage challenge of balancing growth with operational execution. David Lobo, Head of Growth & Operations, was responsible for non-product-engineering functions and had to manage both strategic initiatives and the company’s growing operational needs.

Tasks such as compliance management, state filings, responding to state inquiries, and process oversight created constant context-switching and consumed time and mental bandwidth that should have gone toward growth and product-market fit. Without stronger operational infrastructure, scaling risked becoming cumbersome, error-prone, and increasingly distracting for the team.

02 — The Solution

A dependable operations partner to reduce context-switching and run end-to-end ops work

Workmate Labs partnered with Chore to manage operational processes with reliability and precision across a broad range of recurring and detailed tasks. Chore handled end-to-end operational support, including compliance-related work and process execution, while integrating into the team’s workflow as a trusted partner. This reduced operational distractions and freed David to focus on growth strategy, team management, and other high-value priorities.
