The business is working.
So why does everything still run through you?
You've built something real. Revenue is there. The team is growing. But somehow, scaling still feels like it depends on you showing up for everything.
If that sounds familiar, keep reading.
Sound familiar?
You're the default decision-maker for things that shouldn't need you anymore.
Progress happens — but only when you're present, pushing, holding it together.
You've tried hiring, delegating, systematizing. Some of it helped. But the weight didn't really shift.
And there's this quiet question you don't say out loud:
"Does this actually scale — with me still inside it?"
Here's what I've noticed
Most founders assume they have a hiring problem. Or a focus problem. Or a market timing problem.
Usually, it's none of those.
What's actually happening is simpler — and harder to see from inside:
Your founder operating system is under strain. And you're compensating personally.
That's not a character flaw. It's architecture. And architecture can be seen clearly — if someone helps you look.
The Founder Verdict
A 90-minute diagnostic session.
No coaching. No frameworks for the sake of frameworks. No long-term commitment. Just clarity.
We look at your company like a system under load and examine three things:
Decision Load
How decisions get made, delayed, or pulled back to you.
Execution Load
Where effort turns into progress — and where it leaks.
Trust Load
What can't yet survive without you — and why.
You walk away with:
- The one bottleneck creating most of the friction
- One decision you've been postponing
- Two things that need to be true in the next 90 days
- One thing to stop trying to fix
Not insight for insight's sake. A verdict you can act on — alone.
"This made things uncomfortably clear — in a good way."
— Bootstrapped founder, after the session
Why I do this
I spent years as a systems architect — building and scaling technical infrastructure inside growing companies.
Over time, I started noticing something: most companies don't break because of product or market.
They break because the founder quietly becomes the constraint — and no one names it.
I don't fix companies. I help founders see the system they're already running — clearly enough to decide what to do next.
If this resonates
The session is 90 minutes. €1,000. No follow-up required.
If you want clarity more than reassurance — and you're ready to hear something you might not like — this might be useful.
