When the relationship breaks down, the business follows.
Your product works.
Your company has traction.
But behind closed doors, something is breaking.
Tension is rising between the co-founders.
Decisions stall. Communication deteriorates. Trust erodes.
And your team feels it—even if no one says it out loud.
What used to be creative friction has become slow, counterproductive, dysfunctiuonal.
You’re stuck in patterns of avoidance, passive aggression, or power struggles.
You want the company to win—but the conflict is getting in the way.
This is not just a personality clash. It’s a business emergency.
Early-stage and growth companies live and die by the strength of their leadership team. When co-founders drift apart—emotionally, operationally, or philosophically—it creates ripple effects that stall execution, kill morale, and burn out top talent.
Most founders don’t have the tools—or the space—to navigate this.
That’s where I come in.
I facilitate high-stakes conversations that realign co-founders and unlock momentum.
I work directly with founder duos or trios who are committed to solving what’s stuck.
Not just surface-level disagreements—but the deeper, often unspoken tensions about vision, values, roles, power, and identity.
Together, we’ll:
- Surface root tensions driving misalignment (often hidden beneath strategy debates)
- Reset the relational dynamic through structured, neutral facilitation
- Clarify roles, power boundaries, and decision rights so you stop stepping on each other
- Rebuild trust through courageous conversation, not compromise
- Establish operating rhythms and agreements that support long-term collaboration
I’m not a marriage therapist. I’m not here to force reconciliation.
I’m here to create the conditions for truth, clarity, and forward movement—whatever that looks like for you.
Why me?
I’ve spent 15+ years in tech and leadership roles, often parachuted into founder-led companies with brilliant products and broken partnerships. I’ve navigated M&As, leadership transitions, and intense cultural shifts. I read emotional and organizational systems like code.
I’m not afraid to ask the hard questions—and I know how to hold the space where real answers can emerge.
I bring a mix of operational know-how, executive presence, and human depth that makes hard conversations not only possible—but productive.
What it looks like
- Discovery Call – One or both founders share the story of the conflict
- 1:1 Deep-Dives – Private sessions to unpack perspectives and pain points
- Joint Mediation Sessions – Structured, facilitated conversations to surface truth and rebuild clarity
- Strategic Follow-Up – Support for new agreements, rhythm resets, and implementation coaching
- (Optional) Operational Support & Coaching – As we reach alignment, I can step into a variety of fractional leadership and coaching roles to help bring to reality the new agreements and rhythms you have co-defined.
This is not about therapy, blame, or “just talking it out.”
It’s about making your business—and your partnership—work again.
