Why Are We Different?

We've Stood In Your Shoes

There are many coaches, but few can match our record.  We’ve worked with thousands of founders including over 500 CEOs from seed stage through IPO and post-acquisition, plus a few ‘grown-up’ tech companies as well.  As serial entrepreneurs ourselves, we get it.

We’ve been where you are and have the battle scars to prove it.  Growing and scaling a business is daunting. Going through gauntlet of challenges from fundraising, struggles with disappointment, anxiety of being on the TechCrunch stage, to feeling the joy of creating value for millions of people have honed our skills.  Today we use that knowledge to help you achieve the optimum result for yourself and your business.

Our work is designed to scale with you.

How We Work

Our Core Values

Humility

Humility teaches us that while we are an elite team, it is impossible to know everything. We value openness and curiosity, welcoming the opportunity to learn from anyone, anywhere. We seek and provide honest feedback and are committed to learning from mistakes and successes in equal measure. We believe in continuous improvement with the knowledge that humility makes us more than the sum of our whole by leveraging each individual’s strengths while shoring up the weaknesses.

Humility

Authenticity

We believe in fostering an environment that honors the individual celebrating all the nuances that make them and our team unique. Applauding individual strengths while acknowledging the weaknesses empowers us to express honesty in our work and build dynamic teams where members are free to be themselves. It’s efficient, uplifting, and good business.

Authenticity

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is a Responsibility

We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion honoring all individuals’ fundamental value and dignity. We believe these are human rights and good business. Our experience has proven diverse teams create the most transformative and successful organizations.
