The uncomfortable truth about startup leadership
Promoted without preparation
Your best engineer became CTO. Your top seller became VP Sales. But nobody taught them to lead.
Managing under constant pressure
High-stress environments wear leaders down. Burnout at the top infects the whole company.
Team friction multiplies
Interpersonal problems between leaders cascade through the org. One strained relationship blocks execution.
The pattern we see
Seed to Series A
Founders do everything.
It worksSeries A to B
Team grows. Leaders struggle.
Execution slowsSeries B+
Leadership gaps compound.
Existential riskYou know leaders need development. But the options are broken.
£500-2K per hour
Executive coaching is priced for Fortune 500, not scale-ups.
Weeks to schedule
Your CTO is firefighting daily. Finding consistent time? Good luck.
Stigma problem
Leaders don't want to admit they need help. Asking feels like weakness.
So most leaders get no development at all.
"I want us, as the leadership team, to be actively becoming better at becoming executives. But executive coaching is expensive, scheduling is a nightmare, and honestlyhalf my team would feel weird asking for it."
