Founder to CEO
Hi there, fellow self-funded founder!
We’re 98% of American business owners. Yet most of the advice out there assumes we’ve got equity investors and are just burn burn burning through that sweet moolah.
So what’s a self-funded founder to do? There’s a lot to learn in your journey from founder to CEO. It might feel like your idea is getting lost while you’re figuring out how to run a company. Or the flexibility you loved at the beginning is impossible to get back.
Let’s re-ignite your excitement.
Let’s make it easier to find and focus on the things that actually make a difference, that drive sustainable growth.
I’ll help you move from founder to CEO.
