Step one

The Founders Call: 20 to 30 minutes to see if we fit.

A short call, both ways. You tell us what is going on. We tell you how we would work on it. Then we both decide if it is worth going further.

What happens on the call

We talk for 20 to 30 minutes. You tell us what is going on in the business and what is bugging you. We ask a few questions. Then we say whether we think we can help, and how. If we are not the right people, we say that too.

Tell us how to reach you and we will set up a time. It takes 20 to 30 minutes.

Who We Fit

Who is the Founders Call for?

Owners of a real business with a real team. It might be a trade firm. It might be a dental, orthodontic or orthopedic practice. If yours is built the same way, the work is usually the same.

  • You have a team

    People, and a payroll that has to clear every time.

  • The work is there

    You are busy. The money does not match how busy you are.

  • It all runs through you

    The calls, the quotes, the hard choices. Most of it still lands on you.

  • You are past the start-up stage

    This is a real business with real staff, not a side job.

  • You are open to being told the truth

    Including the parts that are your own doing.
