Glass Wallet Ventures, founded by Sharrin Fuller, has launched a free interactive mapping tool designed to help business owners identify and eliminate operational dependency traps that keep founders overinvolved in daily functions. The tool is publicly available at map.glasswalletventures.com and requires no cost or registration to access.
The release addresses a persistent challenge for small and mid-sized business owners: the difficulty of seeing clearly where their operations rely too heavily on a single individual—typically the founder. Without a structured way to visualize these dependencies, many owners find it hard to delegate effectively, build repeatable systems, or position their business for growth or transition.
The interactive mapping tool guides business owners through a structured process that surfaces where dependency is concentrated across their operations. Rather than a static checklist or written assessment, the tool allows users to engage with a visual map of business functions, making it easier to identify patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Founder dependency—the condition in which a business cannot operate, make decisions, or serve clients without the direct involvement of its owner—is one of the most common obstacles to building a scalable company. By providing a concrete, visual representation of where that dependency exists, the tool translates an abstract problem into something owners can act on.
The tool is accessible directly through map.glasswalletventures.com with no software download or account creation required, reducing barriers for business owners who want to begin the diagnostic process immediately.
Sharrin Fuller, founder of Glass Wallet Ventures, developed the tool to give owners a concrete starting point for reducing dependency in a structured, visual way. The approach reflects the firm's focus on helping founders build businesses that are operationally independent and positioned for sustainable growth. 'Most business owners know they are too involved in their own operations, but they cannot clearly see where the problem is concentrated,' said Fuller. 'This tool gives them a visual map so they can stop guessing and start making real structural changes.'
By offering the tool at no cost, Glass Wallet Ventures makes the diagnostic process available to a wider range of business owners, regardless of their current growth stage. The free model reflects a commitment to helping founders take the first step toward operational independence without a financial barrier. The mapping tool is part of the firm's broader work supporting business owners as they move from founder-dependent models toward scalable operational structures.
For owners who have long operated as the central hub of their business, the tool provides a concrete starting point—a way to see the full picture of their operational dependencies and begin building a business that can function and grow without them occupying every role.
