Your startup grew. Your HR should too.

Most HR advice was written for big corporates with big HR teams and zero urgency. You're not that. I'm Zak — a people and culture consultant who came up through startups and built flipHR to give founders the kind of HR support that actually moves the needle.

Re-do

For when things just aren’t working.

Communication breaking down? Performance slipping? Culture gone sideways? Let's diagnose it and fix it — properly, not with a new policy no one reads.

  • Culture & values work

  • Engagement & wellbeing

  • Performance programs

  • Hiring & compensation

  • Contracts & compliance

Less policy. More people

I work in an open, hands-on way — no jargon, no bureaucracy, no one-size-fits-all frameworks. Just practical HR that moves at startup speed and actually sticks.
