For Founders & Co‑Founders

30‑Day Execution Sprint

In 30 days, move 1–3 high-cost bottlenecks from stuck to shipped decisions with clear owners and next steps.

Internal bottlenecks are a tax on 5–150 person tech companies.

Research on scaling teams suggests misaligned partners, toxic high performers, and punted firing / shutdown calls can burn hundreds of thousands in time, turnover, and delay over 12–18 months. Most founders feel the drag long before they see it in the P&L.

Who this is for

Founders and co‑founders at roughly 5–150 person companies who want to use 30 days to:

We start with you and only bring in others when it actually helps.

Make important decisions once and keep them moving instead of revisiting them.
Leverage differences across the leadership team to make faster, better decisions.
Use leadership meetings to move the business forward instead of circling the same topics.

Most founders invest around $12k for the 30 days.

Three patterns that get expensive fast

Half‑in partner / exec

You're doing most of the work. They still hold equity and a key title. Every month you delay the conversation, you bleed founder time and investor confidence.

High performer who's also creating problems

They ship a ton. They also burn people out. One large study on 50,000 workers found keeping a toxic high performer is roughly twice as expensive as hiring a true superstar.

The decision you keep punting

One underperforming senior seat or zombie project can easily cost thousands per week in delay. The longer you "give it one more sprint," the more it blocks better hires and better bets.

What happens in 30 days

How we choose what to work on

We start by asking three questions:

"What's the most expensive internal situation with someone you work with right now, and if you could snap your fingers and improve that, how would the business be better in a year?"
"What's a decision in your business you're holding that now feels expensive to wait on?"
"If one internal situation moved 30 days faster, which one would move the most revenue, a key milestone, or your time?"

Then we circle the 1–3 situations that are clearly already costing you time or money.

Week 1

Map what's actually slowing you down

90‑minute session with you (and 1–2 key people if helpful) to surface the situations you've been working around or revisiting in meetings and choose 1–3 that are clearly slowing decisions, hiring, or execution.

Weeks 2–3

Prepare, run, and debrief each situation

For each chosen situation: a 60–75‑minute prep session to get to the honest version of what you mean and draft a simple opener. You go run the conversation or decision. Then a 30–45‑minute debrief to capture what shifted and what it changed.

Week 4

Lock in the habit

60–90‑minute integration session to cement how you'll handle these bottlenecks going forward and build a light plan for the next month so the habit sticks.

Why this matters

Important issues handled in days or weeks instead of months of circling.
Decisions that stay decided because the real conversation happened.
A simple way for you to handle important talks going forward, so they happen sooner instead of circling for months.

What you walk away with

High‑Cost Bottlenecks List – a short list of the situations that were taxing revenue, margin, or speed, captured in one place so you're not carrying them around in your head.
1–3 Decision One‑Pagers – one per worked situation – where I've turned what you actually want to say into a simple opener and clear owner/next steps, so you can walk in and run the conversation without drafting anything on your own.
Shift Notes – brief debrief notes after each one: what shifted, what you heard that you hadn't seen before, and what it changed for the business.
Light Reps Plan – 1–2 lower‑stakes situations in the next month laid out for you so you can keep using the same approach without overthinking it.

In other words: you show up to the calls, we do the thinking together, and you leave with 1–3 key situations handled and a small stack of pages you can lean on.

"I'd been carrying hard feelings toward my co‑founder, a close friend, for years. In one 1:1 session with Scott I got clear on what I actually wanted to say and how to say it, and when I finally had the conversation the charge was gone and the air was cleared."

How I stand behind this

If you attend the sessions, bring real situations, and genuinely attempt the plans we design, and by day 30 at least one bottleneck decision is still pending, I'll keep working with you for up to 30 more days at no extra cost, focused on the same bottlenecks we picked.

Your main investment is your time and attention; the structure is set up to deliver clear value.

Clearer conversations -> cleaner decisions -> faster execution.

We'll use a 15‑minute Planning Call to look at what's actually happening and decide if this 30‑day Execution Sprint — or something smaller first — makes the most sense right now.
