NDT Ventures

An operator who's actually run the thing
you're trying to build.

I'm Natalie Todd. I spent 10 years helping scale a consumer brand from pre-revenue to $250 million, and I've spent the last six building the systems that let me run multiple businesses without a big team. I work with founders who want to talk to another operator, not a consultant.

How I help

Three ways to work together.

01

Fractional leadership

Hands-on help running the company. I work next to founders on the parts of the business that are actually slowing them down: hiring decisions, what to stop doing, what to delegate, how to keep the founder from being the bottleneck.

For founders who don't need another consultant. They need an operator.

02

Build the systems that run your business

I use AI to run my own companies, the kind of internal systems that used to take a team of five. Let me show you how to use them in yours. Custom tools built around how your business actually works, not generic software you bend yourself around.

For teams who want their work to feel less heavy.

03

Brand, positioning, and the story you tell

Most brand work stops at a deck. Mine doesn't. I spent 10 years naming products, launching them, watching them succeed or fail, and fixing what didn't work. The story you tell has to survive contact with a real customer (or investor), not just look good on a slide.

For founders building real products, not just decks.

About

Why I know what I know.

I spent ten years leading marketing, branding, and product innovation at Chosen Foods, helping take a consumer brand from pre-revenue to $250 million. The first five years I was the scrappy operator with a small budget and a small team. The last five I led a 20-person team with a $10 million marketing budget. Most operators only ever live in one of those two modes. I've done both, and the muscle that came from running constrained is still the muscle I run everything on.

I'm a mom of two, and how I work is downstream of that. I'm not interested in running businesses that need me at a desk 60 hours a week, and I'm not interested in a team of 30. The systems I've built over the last six years are the reason I don't have to.
