About Hard Yards

Hard Yards backs founders pushing from traction to scale. We plug in senior operators led by  Leeann Monk-Özgül  to bring focus, momentum, and practical help where it counts.

Hard Yards was born from real work in UK and Irish health and social care. Leeann co-founded Elemental (Social Prescribing Software) and helped take it from early traction to wide adoption across NHS and local authority settings. Now we bring that experience to mission led teams who want clear plans, steady execution, and outcomes that matter in people’s lives and communities.

Care - We only work with ventures that put people and communities first and tackle real challenges head on.
Scale - Growth is sleeves up work. We help teams turn priorities into weekly progress and build systems that last.
Impact - Success is more than slides. We support ventures measure change where it matters most for people and communities.
