The Founder's Board™

Meet the Advisory Board Every Iconic Business Has

The $10M Founder's Secret

When a $10M founder needs to solve a critical challenge, they know exactly who to call.

Not because they Googled "best marketing consultant."

Because they've already built relationships with the right advisors—the ones who know their business, understand their goals, and have solved these exact problems dozens of times before.

That relationship is everything.

It's the difference between hiring a stranger and calling someone you trust.

It's the difference between explaining your business from scratch and working with someone who already gets it.

It's the difference between hoping you picked the right consultant and knowing you did.

You're Building Something Exceptional.
Now Meet the Advisors Who Can Help You Scale It.

The Founder's Board is where $1-5M professional services founders learn from—and build relationships with—the expert advisors they'll eventually need to hire.

Think of it as getting to know your future advisory board before you need them.

Here's How It Works:

Every Month, You Learn from Expert Advisors

2 live workshops (75-90 minutes each) where leading advisors teach what you need to know:

  • Marketing systems that generate predictable leads

  • Financial frameworks that show real profitability

  • Operational models that scale without you

  • Recruiting strategies that build exceptional teams

  • Sales systems that don't depend on the founder

  • Legal protections as you grow

  • Exit planning (whether you sell or not)

Not theory. Real frameworks from advisors who've built what you're building.

You Get to Know the Advisors

  • Ask questions during live workshops (in the group setting)

  • Access advisor profiles and expertise areas

  • Book free discovery calls when you're ready

  • See who resonates with your business and style

  • DM advisors directly through the platform

By the time you're ready to hire advisory support, you already know:

  • Who's the right fit for your business

  • How they think and approach problems

  • Whether you trust their guidance

  • What it's like to work with them

You Learn Alongside Other Exceptional Founders

Private community of $1-5M professional services founders who are:

  • Building businesses worth scaling

  • Solving similar challenges

  • Sharing what's working (and what's not)

  • Creating relationships that last beyond the workshops

You Build Your Library of Expert Guidance

Every workshop is recorded and added to your member library:

  • Searchable by topic and advisor

  • Access whenever you need it

  • Templates and frameworks included (when advisors provide them)

  • Advisor contact information embedded

This Is How Smart Founders Hire Advisors

Most founders hire advisors the hard way:

❌ Google "marketing consultant"
❌ Interview 3-5 strangers
❌ Pick one based on a 30-min call
❌ Hope they're actually good
❌ Pay $10K-$25K to find out

The Founder's Board flips this:

✅ Learn from multiple advisors over months
✅ See their expertise in action (not just hear about it)
✅ Ask questions and get to know their approach
✅ Build trust before you ever hire them
✅ When you're ready, you know exactly who to call
