For The Funded Founder Mid-Crisis
A decision is coming to a head, and you have weeks, not quarters
A board meeting with an answer that feels thin. A co-founder conversation you keep postponing. A number that broke and cannot be reframed. A senior hire or fire you cannot afford to get wrong. Chronic stuckness does not produce action, but a deadline does. The Diagnostic is built for the 30 to 60 days before the moment lands.
Founder decision making under board pressure
Under pressure, smart founders do not make random mistakes. They make patterned ones: the same structural blind spot that shaped the company now shapes the decision about its future. From inside, the pattern reads as prudence, or loyalty, or high standards. It is none of those things, but you will not see that from where you sit.
In one documented case, a 170-person company with an active partner conflict carried two proposals with a €90,000 to €4.5 million price tag per wrong decision. Across two sessions, the six simultaneous crises driving the loop were named, and the specific bad decisions on the table were caught before they were signed. The return was 18x to 900x per prevented decision, against the fee paid.
What this looks like in practice
- Book a free 20-minute fit call. If there is no specific moment coming to a head, or the timing is wrong, I tell you on that call and we end it. No pitch.
- If the fit is right, the €2,500 session is scheduled within 7 to 14 days, inside your decision window.
- Within the first 45 minutes, the structural cause of what you are facing is named in your own words, defended with evidence from what you told me.
- You walk into the board meeting, the negotiation, or the conversation with a decision you can defend and a written diagnosis within two weeks.
Everything discussed is confidential. Full refund if the session does not produce a diagnosis.
