deep tech founder | seed
"Thank you so much for your time and advice. It was exceptionally helpful. A lot of the mentors and investors who I’ve gotten help from up to this point have stopped giving advice that I can actually use at this stage, and it’s been incredibly frustrating. One of the issues I’ve lamented to one of my investors is that I feel like I’m pushing a bunch of boulders up a hill and I don’t always know which boulders to push, which to leave, and which to let roll down the hill. After talking with you, I have a very clear understanding of the one rock to push HARD for the next month and much less fear about what could happen to the other rocks during that time. Again, I sincerely appreciate my time with you."

"S.K., my advisor and coach.. and has become a friend and mentor. She transformed the game for my startup. Her commitment and expertise empowered me to strengthen my team and equipped me with the tools to become a more effective leader and build the operational excellence I needed to move from scrappy seed stage co to well-prepared for Series A raise and growth. The time spent with Sarah has been invaluable, enabling my company, my engineering leaders, to establish a sustainable infrastructure and GROW FAST."

"One year ago, I was at a crossroads point in my career. Today, I have successfully navigated two promotions, broadened my professional network and visualized the next phase of my career clearly— milestones I would not have accomplished without S.K.'s support and guidance. For those seeking a leadership and career coach who leads with empathy, inspires professional development boldly and encourages accountability, I highly recommend partnering with S.K. yesterday!"

“To do something you’ve never done before, you have to become someone you’ve never been before.”
Fortune 50 Exec
"I thought that if I was “successful,” people would see that I wasn’t flawed, and I’d finally be worth something. I've been a hyper-achiever my whole life. Then I got passed up for promotion twice. My b-school friends recommended S.K. and I can honestly say I had no idea what I didn't know. I am armed, confident and in the rooms where I should've been years before."

Technical Founder
"Entrepreneurs are 50 percent more likely to report a mental health condition. As someone diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety as an adult, I was also understanding my brain as I was learning to lead a team and also build product. Not easy. I could not have survived launch and 10x growth without this very specific support from former founders."
~Alfonso, Founder

Venture Capitalist
"Isn’t this a weakness for those who don’t know how to manage stress? Then I hit a wall while raising fund II... coaching unlocked this and basically reset my career clock and rehabbed my mindset. I highly, highly recommend (and subsidize) coaching for my portfolio companies now."

"Leaders cannot see what’s right in front of them (the best ones admit it). Coaching is becoming an unfair advantage for top entrepreneurs. I learned this lesson by company 2 and will never forget it."
