What We Will Achieve

 

A founders burnout will become an investors burden.


Let’s speak candidly for a moment — there’s a crisis happening in our start up culture.
 

The Founder 5

 
 
Everything is focused on the hustle, on growth at all costs, including wellbeing. Founders are burning out.

Here’s what we’ve learnt: a founder’s burnout will become an investor’s burden. A success-at-all-costs approach can end up costing everything. Here’s what we know: Founder lead companies outperform businesses where management don’t have ownership.

Vulnerability and wellbeing aren’t words often heard in the start-up universe. That’s why we’re changing the conversation. Being a founder is like being an elite athlete and just like in the elite sport environment, founders need high performance coaching and support structures. Founder Families delivers the best practice model in managing life with business.

We are proactive in helping founders to build the strong personal foundations required to achieve business success. The investment in high performance support of founders is both strategic and essential. We are advocates for founders personally and professionally. For their families, teams and investors. For the start-up wins and the start-again moments. We’re not backward about going forward — we believe in chasing success, but not at the cost of wellbeing.

We understand the ‘Founder’s Pull’ and absolutely encourage ambition, but not while sacrificing everything or everyone else in the process. While we’re not going to give business advice, we will give life advice to help make the right business decisions. We know it can be hard for founders to champion themselves.
That’s why we do it for them.
