"You don't want another podcast, pep talk
or productivity hack."

You want to stay focused and make clear decisions, especially when the pressure is high.
This is for founders and leaders in VC-backed startups navigating the unique pressures of high-growth, high-stakes leadership.

What you're navigating isn't just strategy and scaling, it's also the internal weight of leading through uncertainty. And that can look like:

• Pressure from investors you don't want to disappoint

• Overthinking, second-guessing, and stalling on decisions

• Always being "on" → mentally, emotionally, and logistically

• No safe space to share what you're holding. It's lonely at the top

• Overwhelm that turns into sleeplessness, anxiety (and yes, sometimes depression)

• Pretending you're confident while wondering if you're the right one for this role

You're capable. You've always performed. But now you're in a role where nothing feels certain. And that's unsettling. Let's change that.

What if being a founder didn't have to feel like an uphill battle?

You're building a startup faster than you're becoming the leader it needs. And you're doing it without a playbook, while everyone expects you to already have the answers. That gap shows up as sleepless nights, chronic pressure, and the creeping sense that you might be the bottleneck:

"I don't know how to lead at this level."

"I can't tell my co-founders or team I'm exhausted."

"I feel like I'm slowing my team down."

"I'm winging it and they’ll find out soon."

"What if I'm not cut out for this role?"

These thoughts aren’t signs that you’re holding the wrong role. They show that you care. You want to lead well. You just haven’t been given the space or tools to do so yet.
The pressure is real. The stakes are high. Being the founder means carrying weight that most people will never see… or understand.

The Confident Founder is a 12-week 1:1 coaching experience

It offers a clear roadmap to help you:

• Perform on a high and sustainable level

• Sleep better, recover faster, and build real resilience without burning out

• Be decisive without second-guessing

• Make space for rest and personal life, guilt-free

• Show up in high-stakes moments with calm and focus

• Trust in your leadership so your team follows you with confidence

IN YOUR FIRST MONTH, YOU WILL:

• Pinpoint the hidden stressors draining your mental energy

• Offload 3 or more time-draining tasks to free up mental space

• Establish first high-performance habits for sharper thinking and better decision-making

• Begin proactive leadership by shifting from reaction to intention

You’ll not learn to push harder but to master the inner and outer game of leadership.

THIS IS tailored Founder COACHING.

It's built for tech founders like you.
Most coaching programs are designed for corporate leaders with predictable paths. This one meets you in the chaos of startup life, where growth, pressure, and leadership collide daily.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT?

• It's designed for VC-backed tech startups (Seed to Series B, 20+)

• High-performance plays a key role, shifting from accidental performance to a sustainable one

• We focus on both Inner Work (core beliefs, mindset, self-relationship) and Outer Work
  (decision-making, leadership style, communication)

• It's built on deep coaching experience and years of working in the tech startup world

• My experience as a Head of People brings strategic insights into culture, team dynamics, and
  people-centric leadership

• We can do the coaching process in English, German, or Spanish

Because your startup can only grow as fast as you can lead it.

Why work with me

I've seen leadership from every angle—as an individual contributor, team lead, Head of People in tech, and as a solopreneur running my own business for over a decade. This has shaped a practical, experience-driven view of the pressure, pace, and inner work required to lead well in environments that rarely slow down.

My coaching work spans high-performers and leaders across industries and cultures. With a growth mindset at its core, the focus is on clarity, ownership, and sustainable change, always grounded in real-world execution.

I integrate sustainable high performance (cognitive clarity, stable energy, resilient health) into my work, ensuring leadership clarity is supported by long-term resilience and energy. Because day-to-day leadership realities matter, our sessions are built as a safe space for reflection, full attention, and experienced support, challenging and guiding you to become a conscious, authentic leader from the inside out.
