Leadership Councils

Being the CEO of a startup feels just short of impossible. The hours are long. Demands are everywhere. Your to-do list only ever seems to grow. You’re in uncharted waters without a map. Even with a co-founder, it’s lonely.

This is why we developed leadership councils. We believe that being in fellowship with a community of peers provides the best environment to deepen your thinking, share experiences, and chart the path forward.

Councils are as old as humanity itself. They appear in different Native American traditions, Quaker and Islamic practices, and Greek literature, to name just a few. Inspired by several of these traditions, we integrate peer coaching, wisdom circles, and mastermind forums to create spaces of peer exchange, insight, and support.

Series A Founders: Keep an Eye Out

Leadership transitions that accompany a Series A raise are particularly tough. Companies with a track record indicating product-market fit must now demonstrate scalability and replicability. New institutional investors demand increased accountability, while a growing need for delegation to the C-suite can lead to a sense of loss of control. Founders must shift from being a ‘fixer of all things’ to a ‘motivator and aligner of others.’

These varying demands at Series A will require Founders to re-examine their leadership, relationships, and intrinsic motivation. In partnership with Intrinsic Labs, start-up experts, and VCs around the world, we’re preparing a peer-driven leadership development program to navigate this transition. 

Watch this space until applications open.

Case Study - MIT D-Lab

MIT D-Lab asked us to co-design a six-month leadership development fellowship for women social entrepreneurs in India raising their first major round. A key component was to navigate gender biases women entrepreneurs face during the fundraising process.

Case Study - Vitol, Issroff Family, and Argidius Foundations

Vitol Foundation, Issroff Family Foundation, and Argidius Foundation asked us to build a peer learning collaborative for 11 accelerators across Africa (from DRC, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia) to share best practices for supporting African entrepreneurs, build capacity in the leadership teams, and strengthen cooperation in the ecosystem.
