We love using our gifts to serve others.
Like many folks, we are moving through the world in search of the way that we can enjoy our lives while making things better.
We can often be found in nature on a hike or playing disc golf, making music, or having meaningful connections with friends and family.
Our Team
Hey there, I'm Danielle Applestone, a serial entrepreneur and Materials Science PhD.
I’m driven to help startups scale by leveraging my incredible network and 20+ years of experience founding startups across multiple industries.
With Applestone Consulting, I work as a fractional People Operations executive, a strategic thought-partner for CEOs, and a builder of teams for long term success.
Hi, I’m Joseph Wharton, a generalist who loves perfecting processes, making hires, project management, user and employee education, and content creation.
I manage our team of hiring project managers and internal operations for Applestone Consulting.
My joy in work comes from empowering teams, setting up solid systems and structure, and executing on the incredible variety of people ops projects we encounter.
Let's build a great company together.
In hardtech startups, the CEO is usually wearing 10+ hats—fundraising, product direction, technical troubleshooting, customer conversations, and hiring. They often don’t have the cycles to focus on people operations, but that's where we come in.
We'll be in touch.
Thank you for filling out your information.
