For organisations

Integrate founder readiness
into your programs.

A suite of programs designed to help incubators, accelerators, and investors give their founders the human development support that most programs miss.

Who this is for
🏛
Incubators & accelerators
Add a human development layer alongside the business model and pitch work. Give founders a structured picture of where they stand before they dive into the idea.
💼
Startup investors
Pre-screen founders with a structured readiness framework. Replace gut feel with evidence — and understand not just the idea but the person behind it.
The programs

Three formats. One framework.

Each program is built around the Founder Readiness Framework and can be delivered standalone or as part of a longer journey. Contact us for scheduling and pricing.

Half-day · 3.5–4 hours
Intro
Workshop
8–12 participants

An immersive introduction to what the founder journey really requires — not the romanticised version, but the real one. Participants are introduced to the 8 dimensions, the 3 readiness levels, and the realities of entrepreneurship through structured exercises. The group walks through the self-assessment questionnaire together, creating a shared understanding of what each question reveals and why it matters.

  • The real founder journey — myths vs reality
  • Introduction to the 8 dimensions and 3 FRL levels
  • Guided walk-through of the self-assessment questionnaire
  • Brain / Heart / Gut framework exercise
  • Group discussion on key dimensions and personal blind spots
  • Facilitated peer reflection
Best for: Pre-incubation awareness events, open ecosystem days, and investor screening days.
Full day · 7–8 hours · Flagship
Assessment
Day
6–10 participants

The flagship program. Participants complete the full 40-question assessment before the session. On the day, individual scores are shared at the start — creating an immediate, honest picture for each founder. The day then focuses on understanding what that profile means for the specific project or venture they want to pursue, through peer-to-peer reviews, facilitator-led discussions, and structured exercises.

  • Assessment completed upfront by all participants
  • Individual Readiness Radar shared at session opening
  • Proprietary 3-layer scoring model applied
  • Peer-to-peer profile reviews and feedback
  • Facilitator review of each individual profile
  • Focus on how profile impacts the founder's specific project
  • Named cross-dimensional patterns identified and discussed
  • Written feedback reports delivered within 48 hours
Best for: Incubator intake and selection, pre-accelerator preparation, and early cohort interventions.
2 days · Intensive
Founder
Bootcamp
6–10 participants

The deepest program in the suite. Building on the full assessment, the Bootcamp combines personal development planning with targeted skill-building across the key competencies every founder needs. Participants leave not just knowing their profile — but with a concrete development plan and practical training in the hard and soft skills that determine whether a founder succeeds.

  • Full assessment and individual Readiness Profile
  • Personal development plan per participant
  • Fundraising — narrative, mechanics, investor relations
  • Sales — commercial conversations, pipeline, closing
  • Recruitment — hiring without resources, vision-selling
  • Leadership — leading without authority, co-founder dynamics
  • Founder simulations across key hard and soft skills
  • Peer accountability structure and follow-up
Best for: Founders approaching a serious commitment decision, venture studios, and investor portfolio cohorts.
Why it matters

Better founders.
Better programs.
Better outcomes.

Founders who understand their readiness arrive at programs with a different quality of self-awareness — and that changes everything.

Reduce dropout — founders who know their gaps are more committed and more resilient
Replace gut feel — structured profiles give you evidence, not impressions
Personalise support — know which founders need what, from day one
Balance the program — the person alongside the idea and the business model
Build cohort culture — shared honest experience creates stronger peer networks
