Working harder isn't the answer. You have to lead people, not be the bottleneck on every problem. Which means working on yourself first.
Founder Coach · Advisor · Operator
Your startup is unique. Your problems are not. I've been a founder, a CEO, an operator, and an investor, and I've worked with hundreds of startups — as have my partners at ETW. We've seen this movie before, and we're here to help founders avoid the errors that have doomed so many others.

Four problems I help founders solve. Most engagements touch all of them.
Working harder isn't the answer. You have to lead people, not be the bottleneck on every problem. Which means working on yourself first.
Fundraise, profitability, sale — there's a finish line you're running at, and something's keeping you from it. We find it, work backwards from the goal, and avoid the cliff.
When the curve isn't bending, we pull GTM apart and iterate until it does. Understand the motion you actually have, then build the one you need.
Your team is your company's DNA. The better the team, the more you can run in parallel — and the faster the company can move. We sharpen the bar and the process behind it.
