Cofounder Coaching
Your secret sauce is your founding team. Strengthen it and head off one of the top startup killers.
Do any of these sound like you?
-
"One cofounder just isn't pulling their weight."
-
"I feel like we keep talking past each other."
-
"We're great friends, but that makes it hard to have tough conversations."
You're not alone! Your pitch deck highlighted your founding team as a key differentiator, and letting them fray is one of the biggest reasons for startups failing.
Why? They may be the most complicated -- people you see every day, rely on to make your dreams a reality -- thrown into highly uncertain, very emotional, consequential decision making.
In fact, I struggled with my own set of complicated, emotional founder issues that nearly took down the company and made working difficult.
Instead of hoping for the best or letting things fester, I'll work with you individually to level up as team players, solve acute issues you're facing, and build a relationship foundation that's designed for longevity.
What to expect
Each founder is a unique breed, and each cofounder relationship is too. Coaching is designed to be responsive to that and build organizational context over time that levels everyone up quickly.
I embed in your founding team with the role to level you up as individuals in your respective challenges and serve as a conduit for resolving issues between you, if they're there. Trust and confidentiality is a key pillar to working with me.

Jamie's has the unique combination of raw horsepower, empathy, and ability to instill calmness. Before I started working with Jamie, I was burdened by indecision as a leader. His coaching helped provide me clarity on how to make decisions with limited information and high pressure, and was instrumental in not only combatting the insane stress/burnout which accompanies the founder journey, but also thriving and becoming the happiest I've ever been. Jamie is extremely unique in the world of coaching - he combines legitimate formal training with real world in the trenches experience while being a highly empathic listener to both push me to be my best self while providing the support I've needed in the most difficult times.
