03 Growth & Transition
Founders
The business outgrows the way it was built.
01 The position
There is a specific phase — after early traction, before genuine scale — where the instincts that built the business start to limit it. Decisions that were fast because one person made them become slow because one person still has to.
We work with founders through that transition: the strategy, the structure, and the personal shift from doing the work to governing it. The brand guideline calls this elevation. In practice it is a series of deliberate handovers.
