get connected to funding, executive talent, and uniquely experienced personal support
You have a good business that has potential to be great. You’ve earned at least $500k+ ARR but you, or the business, is stuck in a bit of a plateau, personal funk, and you’re not sure exactly what’s next.
“Should you hire an executive or CEO?”
“How can you raise money, creatively?”
“Should you shut down? Try and exit?”
And “What should my role be going forward?”
We know what it’s like to be in that position. We’ve both hired executives, worked as CEOs, coached and advised CEOs.
We’re offering conversations with founders at this crossroads to help with guidance, support, and access to our network.
How it works: CONNECT IN TO our CEO-ECOSYSTEM
When you feed the community, the community feeds you.
Introductory Conversations: We like to think of ourselves as GOOD SAMARATINS. We’ll talk with you about where you’re at: you’ll expand your view of what’s possible, we’ll learn something new about you and the business you’re in. We do this because we know that building a community ecosystem helps all of us.
Big Decisions: We’ll talk with you about your options for selling, raising capital, or exiting. We won’t tell you what to do but we’ll help you decide what is right for you.
Business Analysis: We’ll give you a second opinion on your numbers and metrics and recommend a course of action based on what we believe is possible.
Hiring Executives: We’ll discuss whether or not the moment is right for you to bring in an outside CEO, President or executive. We’ll discuss best practices and how we’ve done it from our own experiences on both sides of the table.

“How can I raise money, creatively?”
“Should I shut down? Try and exit?”
And “What should my role be going forward?”

We created a private space for a different type of founder conversation to be had.
You’ve worked tirelessly, given your heart and soul to your business and now you’re at an inflection point.
Do you dig deeper?
Do you make a change?
What is the best path forward?
It’s hard to have this discussion with friends, employees, investors and co-founders who may have your best interest at heart yet might not be seeing fully from your unique perspective.
Plus, these tough decisions
Quit rowing upstream alone
Our aim is to help businesses and founders reach their full potential. We meet with founders to discuss what’s possible and help connect them with resources that help them do just that.
We also are searching to buy great little companies that need a boost from support – helping founders quit rowing alone.

ABOUT MATT:
IT ALL BEGINS WITH AN IDEA. MAYBE YOU WANT TO LAUNCH A BUSINESS. MAYBE YOU WANT TO TURN A HOBBY INTO SOMETHING MORE. OR MAYBE YOU HAVE A CREATIVE PROJECT TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD. WHATEVER IT IS, THE WAY YOU TELL YOUR STORY ONLINE CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT SOUNDING PROFESSIONAL. SOUND LIKE YOU. THERE ARE OVER 1.5 BILLION WEBSITES OUT THERE, BUT YOUR STORY IS WHAT’S GOING TO SEPARATE THIS ONE FROM THE REST. IF YOU READ THE WORDS BACK AND DON’T HEAR YOUR OWN VOICE IN YOUR HEAD, THAT’S A GOOD SIGN YOU STILL HAVE MORE WORK TO DO.
