Founder Clinic

Stop circling the same problems. Fix one properly each month.

The Founder Clinic is a live, remote session for early stage founders who are stuck on real execution decisions. Each month we focus on one critical growth problem, break it down step by step, and diagnose a live founder case in front of the room.

  • Who this is for

This is for those at the beginning of their journey:

  • Pre seed and early revenue founders
  • Builders between idea and product market fit
  • Technical founders struggling with distribution
  • Operators under £10k MRR who need clarity to grow

If you are post PMF or already scaling with a structured growth team, this is likely too early stage for you.

  • What we cover

Each month focuses on one sharp execution problem across customer, product, or growth, such as:

Product and Technical Decisions
  • What should we build next and why?
  • Designing features that solve a validated problem
  • Avoiding overbuilding: defining the smallest viable solution
  • Navigating build vs buy vs AI tooling
  • Making technical decisions under uncertainty
Customer and Validation
  • Defining and testing your ideal customer
  • Finding and validating your riskiest assumption
  • Running effective customer interviews
Growth and Monetisation
  • Designing distribution experiments
  • Diagnosing why you do not have product market fit
  • Monetisation strategy and pricing decisions
  • Increasing revenue without adding complexity

You leave with one concrete action to run within the next seven days.

This is practical problem solving.
