Coaching a founder-led tech company through threefold growth
A software company had grown from 40 to 120 people in two years. The founders were still in every decision and burning out.
The challenge
There was no leadership team below the founders, priorities changed weekly, and good engineers were leaving because nobody owned their growth.
What we did
- Coached both founders through a twelve-month programme
- Built a six-person leadership team with clear mandates
- Introduced quarterly planning with OKRs and a simple operating cadence
- Designed career paths and a manager development programme
The outcome
The company tripled revenue over the next two years with staff turnover down by half. The founders now spend most of their time on product and customers rather than approvals.
