Three things to know before you book.
Pay as you go
Most coaching is sold as a monthly retainer. Here it's one call from $75, price on the profile.
Been there, done that
Most coaches here have founded, raised or exited.
Bring the decision, not the company
A stalled raise, a go-to-market that isn't landing, a co-founder conversation you keep putting off. Leave with a plan.
What changed after a call with a founder
“Erik gave me a whole new perspective on how to position the company and the product, without making me feel like I was paying for time.”
Frequently asked. Honestly answered.
How soon can I talk to someone?
Usually within a few days.
The times shown are the middle of the night for me?
Coaches are in different time zones. Look further out or pick someone closer.
Is this coaching?
Not the traditional kind. No program, no retainer. Book one call, and another only if it helped.
How much does it cost?
Each coach sets their own rate. 30-minute calls on this page cost $90 to $250, and half cost less than $175.
How often do founders book?
Most book once. About one in ten come back to the same coach.
Can I switch coach after the first call?
Yes. Book anyone else at any time.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancel 24+ hours before for a full refund, or reschedule up to 2 hours before. If the coach doesn't show, you're refunded.
Talk it through with someone who's done it.
One call. Price up front.
