Co-founder relationship fuel

Optimising your co-founder relationship so your company can thrive

You’ve had the idea, raised the money, launched your company, laid out the customer journey and hired a team. A huge amount of energy, effort and time together has been dedicated to turning your vision into a reality and to mitigate the risk of failure.

Yet how much time have you spent on developing your co-founder relationship? This is crucial, yet often over-looked, as the quality of your co-founder relationship is seen as one of the biggest determiners of whether your company will succeed or fail.

In order for your relationship to thrive we offer specialised co-founder coaching around roles, responsibilities, vision and strategy alignment that crucially builds co-founder communication skills too. We will look at decision-making, having difficult conversations, giving feedback to each other and turning conflict into something generative rather than destructive.

Building co-founder understanding

A dedicated space away from the day-to-day to develop greater awareness of each other’s strengths, communication styles and stress patterns, to clarify roles and responsibilities and to ensure you can work well together for the benefit of your team.

Towards your Founders Agreement

As part of the process, we’ll help you create your “founders agreement” that lays out your vision and values, what you both bring to the partnership, how you both commit to behave towards each other, as well as what you will do if things go wrong.

With an accredited coach & mediator

Our co-founder coaching is led by Sanja who is an experienced co-founder coach and also a trained mediator. She will partner with you over a period of time to ensure your partnership becomes as strong as possible.

What's included

Individual coaching sessions with each co-founder to understand their personal drivers, needs and goals.
A half-day joint session to kick-start the coaching process including the creation of a joint coaching plan with explicit outcomes.
Ongoing 60 to 90 minute coaching sessions to work towards the desired outcomes.
Communication frameworks and models to support individual and co-founder skill development.

"The approach was calm and extremely well-focused, making the best use of the time available so that we made a huge amount of progress in just a few very productive sessions"

"Sanja is a true guiding force. Her session gave us the space, focus and tools necessary to lay the foundations of a successful co-founder relationship. We simply would never have taken the time or had the means to do so otherwise"

"The half day session was invaluable, revealing issues and feelings which needed to be resolved to allow us to move forwards. They provided a safe environment to deal with these issues in a professional and constructive way"
