PART I | RELATIONSHIP BUILDING PROGRAM

Structured Sessions
3 Months (meeting every other week)

The initial 6 sessions (3 months) of our partnership will walk through a defined set of exercises to get to know each other:

  1. Individual Reflection (Relationship Resume, Personal Motivators)

  2. Company Vision (What is Success, What is Failure)

  3. Working Together (Co-Founder Partnership Agreement)

For continuing teams, the Co-Founder Partnership Agreement will be reviewed every 6 months in a 3 hour in-person session.

PART II | ONGOING SESSIONS

Open Sessions
Ongoing (meeting every other week)

After "Part I | Partnership Building Program" is completed, we will address any open concerns, frustrations, or other needs during our sessions every other week. A sample agenda could look like:

  • Brief overview of last session & what has happened since on the company-side

  • Discussion of areas of frustration or tension that have not yet been discussed

  • Summary of commitments & how we will bring these learnings into the next two weeks of work
