RELATIONSHIP REPAIR
Founder Partnership Reset
A structured, confidential engagement to repair a breaking-down relationship between co-founders — individual sessions with each founder, followed by a joint session, to surface what's actually driving the conflict and rebuild a working partnership before it costs the company its leadership.
Who it's for
Early-stage companies where the relationship between two or more founders has deteriorated to the point it's affecting the business. Typically engaged directly by one of the founders, or by a VC investor concerned about the leadership team.
What's included
- Individual 1:1 sessions with each founder to understand their perspective, concerns, and what they need from the relationship
- A joint session to work through the conflict directly, with a structured, neutral facilitator
- Identification of the real issues driving the breakdown, not just the surface disagreements
- A practical path forward: clarified roles, decision rights, and communication agreements
- Confidential throughout — what's said in an individual session stays private unless that founder chooses to share it
Example deliverables
- A clear picture of what's actually driving the conflict, for each founder individually
- A joint working agreement covering how decisions get made and how disagreements get resolved going forward
- A follow-up check-in to confirm the reset is holding
