Founders Program

A program designed by entrepreneurs to give co-founders the support network they need to thrive and scale their business.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

— Helen Keller

The Program

At the Intuitive Foundation, we are founders ourselves and have decades of experience working with founders. We understand the stress the entrepreneurship journey entails and know first-hand how isolated, overwhelmed, and stressed founders can feel when they face challenges they cannot share or raise with their team, investors, or their board. So, we created the Intuitive Founders 1 to N program to provide entrepreneurship training.

Have you ever shared these thoughts?

  • “Am I being the best leader I can be?”
  • “How do I tell my friend or co-founder the bad news?”
  • “I am worried about how to grow my business during this current economic environment.”
  • “I am unable to hire the best talent. What can I do better?”
  • “Everyone expects me to know the way. How do I lean into fear and lead through the uncertainty?”

Intended for both business and technical leaders, the Intuitive Founders Program provides opportunities to connect, discuss and share common issues with other leaders going through similar experiences. By surrounding the founders with exceptional CEO and CTO leaders, the program intends to improve the effectiveness, mental health, and decision making of founders and provide a safe space for discussion via a peer advisory model of support, collaboration, and shared learning.

Through a series of collaborative sessions, group activities, and connections to successful leaders, the program will provide the founders the time and space to be challenged as well as gain unique insights into how to solve the issues they face, identify their gaps and blinds spots, make better decisions, feel less isolated, while leading a balanced lifestyle. The path to success is not easy, but the Intuitive Foundation feels that this program will help founders avoid critical mistakes they often make.

Core values of the Program

Community

Being a founder can be lonely, and you can't always turn to your investors or staff for support. We've created a group of like-minded individuals who are going through similar experiences, and who you can speak to in a confidential matter.

Intentionality

We believe in optimizing our behavior so we can be the best version of ourselves. Every time we say "yes" to something, we're saying "no" to something else. Everything we do throughout our day should be an intentional choice.

Resilience

Startup environments are stressful, and as a result, mental health issues are statistically more common among founders than the general population. We believe in developing resilience to help navigate these challenges.
