Co-Founder Coaching:

An aligned co-founder relationship is a superpower and a competitive advantage.

A bad co-founder relationship can quickly destroy the business.

The co-founder relationship is the beating heart of any startup. Just as a strong partnership can propel a company to extraordinary heights, unresolved tensions can quickly become existential threats to your venture.

With a decade of experience working with startup founders and a background in psychology, I specialize in helping co-founders build resilient, high-performing relationships. My unique approach blends deep psychological insights with practical operational expertise, drawing from my years leading teams at high-growth startups like Etsy.

What I Bring to Co-Founder Coaching

  • Psychological Depth: As a trained therapist with a master's in counseling psychology, I understand the complex interpersonal dynamics that can make or break a founding team.

  • Operational Expertise: Having served as a senior executive through multiple startup stages—from scrappy beginnings to public company—I know the precise organizational challenges co-founders face.

  • Holistic Perspective: I help founders navigate both the emotional landscape of their relationship and the strategic challenges of building a company. We'll dig into how you're really doing while also examining your organizational structure and leadership approach.
