The Soft
These are the questions that touch the soul of your business. They're the intangible, yet crucial, elements that can make or break your entrepreneurial journey.
From navigating cofounder dynamics to finding balance in your personal life, we help you tackle the softer aspects that often get overlooked but are essential for sustainable growth.
When founders come to us with soft problems, this is how they sound:
"My cofounder isn't pulling their weight."
"The business isn't loving me back"
"How do I make time for me?"
"What kind of leader do I need to be?"
"How do I ensure I'm still growing?"
"My cofounder isn't pulling their weight."
