The program

Built for founders,
not just their businesses.

4 months. 8 sessions. Built around the 8 Drivers of Value — so your business is ready for an exit, and so are you.

4-month curriculum

M1

Financial Foundation & Market Position

Board-grade financial clarity and the metrics that actually move value, plus where your moat is real versus borrowed. We start with your personal mission and treat founder burnout as the valuation risk it is — baselining with the Value Builder Questionnaire and a time + energy audit.

M2

Revenue Quality & Capital Efficiency

De-risk customer, supplier, and key-person concentration, then make your cash work harder through working-capital and cash-conversion design. Paired with decision fatigue and founder capacity — why doing more quietly costs you.

M3

Structural Risk & Scalability

Turn revenue into predictable, recurring revenue and show the growth buyers pay for. Then build the systems and leadership bench that let the business run without you — scalable levers that don’t break the founder.

M4

Customer Equity & Founder Transferability

Retention, referrals, and transferability — the customer equity that compounds your multiple — plus removing yourself as the bottleneck. Closes with exit readiness, identity beyond the business, and your Founder + Business 12-Month Roadmap.

This program is for you if...

You're a seed-stage or later founder building toward a future exit. Your business is growing but you know burnout is a real risk — and you understand that founder health directly affects valuation.

Revenue range

Best fit for venture-backed founders with $1M+ ARR. You've built something real.

Format & cadence

Virtual. Every other week — 8 sessions total, 90–120 minutes each. Structured between-session work keeps momentum without overwhelming your schedule.

Cohort 2 · Q1 2027 — 8 to 12 spots

Cohort 1 filled fast and is now closed. Kept intentionally small — join the Q1 2027 waitlist and you’ll be first to know the moment applications open.
