Finding a business partner: co-founder

This is the moment you step out from behind
the corporate veil, find the partner who will help you

Build Something Extraordinary

Imagine this…

You’re standing at the precipice of a new life. After years of climbing the corporate ladder, working 12+ hour days, being constantly on call, and barely having enough time to be with your family. After years of feeling scared that you will be laid off, seeing your friends losing their jobs, and always having this fear in your chest that you will be next. Feeling exhausted from having to navigate never-ending behind-the-doors politics, something you never mastered or don’t truly care to get good at, you’re now quietly, finally, laying the groundwork to step out and launch something of your own.

And finally, be free.

The prospect of freedom and of being able to do the work you want to do is exhilarating.

But it’s also scary.

As any seasoned leader knows, no great business is built alone. And most new businesses fail pretty quickly.

You feel you need a partner. Someone to share the load when things get tough or if you need a sick day. Someone to challenge your ideas and bring theirs to the table. Someone to see your blind spots and not let you carry on for too long in the wrong direction.

Someone to help bring your vision to life.

But how do you find THE ONE?

Not just any business partner but the right business partner.


If you are a member of the Strategy Control Room (Advanced), you can access the full Investor Relations Strategy Study here. If you would like to enroll as a member, you can learn more about it here.


The one who will complement your strengths. The one who will not drain a business savings account over the weekend to escape the country. The one who will fill the gaps in your skill set and stand by your side when you are going through a rough patch.

The one who will have not only their best interests at heart, but also yours.

Finding a business partner is about far more than drafting an agreement or splitting equity. It’s about your ability to pick the right person and do your part to build the relationships.

The most successful partnerships aren’t born from convenience.

The most successful relationships are forged through shared values, trust, and having each other’s best interests at heart.

In this program, we’ll guide you through the process of finding your business partner. You’ll discover what makes a successful partnership and the pitfalls to avoid. And, most importantly, “the place” where most long-term great business partners are found.

If going on your own is something you are planning and plotting, beyond the strategy and logic, there’s something deeper driving you to go on your own.

A yearning to finally be free.

Free from the confines of the corporate world that, despite its rewards, has mostly left you with a feeling that you are NOT in the right place, with the right people, doing the right work.

You want to finally build a life that allows you to do the work you want to do and be with people you want to be with and be at a place you want to be at 80% of the time, not 20% of the time.

Where every decision is an expression of you.

Where you don’t have to make choices and decisions that make you sick to your stomach because this is what is expected or this is what your boss wants you to do.

Where finally, THERE IS NO BOSS.
There is just you, your work, your contribution.

A life where you mostly work on projects that fill you with energy, instead of draining it. A life where your work and who you are finally align.

This is the start of an adventure.

A high-stakes quest, where the prize is not just a successful business but the key to your personal freedom and to finally feeling that you are doing what you came here to do.

This is YOUR moment.

And we’re here to help you find the partner who will help you make that dream a reality.
