Go beyond individual contribution
Scaling a tech company means delegating responsibility to capable leaders, and holding them accountable for their work. This is easy in theory, difficult in practice.
Elevate is a deeply reflective coaching program that helps scale-up founders step out of the day-to-day and drive results from their team. You'll work through real performance issues, reflect using cutting-edge frameworks, and build new habits based on your insights.
This program can have a transformational impact on you, and consequently, your team and your business. Just show up, and we'll work through it together.
How the experience works
Elevate uses performance coaching frameworks and a high-quality peer group to drive deep professional insights and support your growth as a leader. Here's exactly how it works:
1. Identify your leadership gaps
We coach real issues, not made-up scenarios. We ask you to bring live performance challenges you're currently facing to work through in each session.
2. Reflect on cutting-edge frameworks
Practice is the best way to learn. Our coaching frameworks provide you with a helpful starting point to reframe challenges and uncover new opportunities.
3. Uncover nuance with peer discussion
When there aren't easy answers, talking it through really helps. We'll guide you through powerful exercises and discussions with a cohort of other scale-up founders.
4. Take action and build new habits
Professional insights are useless if you don't act on them. We'll challenge you to try new approaches to develop as a leader, and support you in following through.

Leave with positive change
If you want results, actions matter. Your output will be the specific changes you embed into your approach that help you drive more accountability where you need it most. You'll get clarity on:
- How to adopt a winning mindset

- How to hold others accountable
- How to hold powerful conversations
- How and when to coach your team
- When to make hard decisions
This program isn't about theory, it's about practice. Our goal is to give you the inspiration, guidance and support to take bold action that lead to lasting positive change.

Who is Elevate Program for
The program was designed for scale-up CEOs and co-founders who want to take their leadership to the next level. The primary use cases of the program are:
- Step out of the details by delegating effectively and driving accountability in the team,
- Develop and grow as a leader by learning new practical skills and cutting-edge frameworks,
- Shift to a scale mindset by identifying limiting beliefs and challenging yourself to go further.
If you don't yet have a leadership team, Elevate isn't appropriate. But if your company has 10–300 people with ambitions to scale, we’d be a good fit.
