Our Startup Leadership program helps develop founders into leaders who can inspire their teams to scale their business.

Over the past few years, we have worked with countless early and growth stage startups from across the world. We have identified a number of themes and skills that are consistently required for founders to effectively lead people and teams.

Our Startup Leadership program builds on these core areas for development as well as creating peer-to-peer learning opportunities for founders.

Our program is designed to help develop the skills you need as a startup leader.

In this program, you will explore and learn about:

  • Understanding self and others
  • Cohesive co-founding teams
  • Principles of prioritization
  • Performance management
  • Sustaining productivity

Each of our programs includes skill-building workshops, curated thought-starters, social learning activities, and our signature Playbook.
