✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • Our 1:1 coaching sessions are for startup C-suite leaders (CEO, CTO, CPO, etc.) who want space to think more clearly about themselves and their leadership, especially in high-pressure, post-raise, or scaling phases.

    Most clients are leading companies between Seed Stage and Series C (though that isn’t a hard and fast rule).

  • We talk through what’s happening for you right now – whether that’s a decision you’re stuck on, a pattern you’re repeating, or a conflict you’re avoiding – and work together on practical steps how you want to show up differently.

  • No.

    While it may feel therapeutic (some of us are even therapists and therapists-in-training), coaching isn’t clinical care. It’s focused on reflection, clarity, and practical shifts in how you lead.

  • Most founders meet with us every week or every other week for 60 minutes. We’ll set a cadence that fits your needs and energy.

  • Yes, absolutely.

    We promise strict confidentiality. Nothing you share will ever be repeated to your investors, team, or anyone else. We don’t record sessions, we don’t take notes to circulate, and if it matters to you, we’ll even sign an NDA.

  • That’s normal. The best next step is to reach out and explore it together. A quick conversation usually makes the fit clear on both ends.
