The brief

What this program is, in plain language.

Crossing fifteen engineers is the moment most technical founders stop being individual contributors and discover that their leadership instincts were never tested. This program is the working block where those instincts are inspected, rewritten, and rehearsed under cohort scrutiny.

What is included

  • Nine weeks, two and a half hours live each week
  • Six leadership case discussions drawn from real cohorts
  • A peer cohort triplet for accountability
  • A delegation audit with rewritten role descriptions
  • A final written leadership doc reviewed by two operators

Outcomes you can defend

  1. A rewritten role description for two senior reports
  2. A delegation audit with a measured baseline
  3. A leadership doc reviewed by two operators outside your team

Frequently asked, honestly answered

How big should my team be?

Most useful between twelve and twenty-five engineers. Below ten the case work feels abstract.

Is this a coaching program?

Partly. Roughly one in three sessions is one-on-one; the rest are cohort discussions.

Honest disclosure

Three of nine weeks include a written homework block of roughly five hours. Founders without that bandwidth should defer.

From the cohort floor

The delegation audit forced me to write down a role I had been doing because it felt familiar. We hired into it within six weeks of the cohort closing. Eric  ·  CTO
I joined skeptical. The peer triplet was the part I underestimated; we still meet monthly. Bo-Ram Yi  ·  CTO  ·  Vinglass Mobility
Useful, demanding. The final leadership doc was the first piece of writing I have ever published internally that the team kept referring back to. Ji-ah  ·  CTO
