You started this. Now let's scale it.
For founders whose business has outgrown the way it was built, and who want to grow it without breaking what made it work.
Book my spot nowWhat got you to here will not get you to the next stage.
- Revenue has grown but the business feels more fragile, not less.
- Every new hire seems to create more work for you, not less.
- Quality slips whenever you are not personally involved.
- You are busier than you were at half the size.
Gerry on founder and scale-up coaching, in his own words
Two minutes on why growth exposes whatever a business was missing, and what founder and scale-up coaching installs before the cracks show.
What scale-up coaching has done for the founders who took it
Drawn from the founders Gerry has taken through a scale-up, most of them between five and fifty people.
Average revenue growth across scale-up coaching clients over two years
Typical reduction in founder hours while revenue continued to grow
How quickly most founders hand over their first significant responsibility
The point where growth stops being fragile
Six founders on what scale-up coaching with Gerry actually changed. Hover to pause and read.
I came to founder and scale-up coaching convinced the problem was my sales numbers. It was not. Within a quarter I had handed over three things I had never let go of, and the numbers fixed themselves.
What I got from founder and scale-up coaching was permission to stop being the answer to everything. My leadership team is unrecognisable, and I took a two week holiday without checking in once.
Gerry is the first person who told me the truth about my business rather than what I wanted to hear. founder and scale-up coaching was uncomfortable for a fortnight and worth every penny since.
We had grown for six years and stopped dead. founder and scale-up coaching found the constraint in the first session. It was not the one any of us had been arguing about.
I had used two other coaches before. The difference with founder and scale-up coaching is that we built things. Actual systems, written down, that my team still runs today.
Revenue is up, but the thing I would tell anyone considering founder and scale-up coaching is that I got my weekends back. That is what I actually wanted and did not know how to ask for.
How founder and scale-up coaching works
Growth exposes whatever the business was missing. The work here is installing the four pillars before the cracks turn into breakages.
-
01
We find where it breaks first
Every business has one constraint that fails before the others. We find yours and fix it before adding the load that would expose it.
-
02
We install the framework
Sales, People, Systems and Processes, in the order your business needs them rather than in a fixed sequence. Most founders are strong in one and unaware of the other three.
-
03
We build the layer that replaces you
Ownership moves out of your head and into people and process. This is the part founders resist and the part that actually creates the freedom.
-
04
We pressure test it
We deliberately push work through the new structure while you step back, so we find the weak points on purpose rather than during a crisis.
What scale-up coaching changes about how the business runs
Growth stops being fragile
Adding clients and headcount stops feeling like a risk to quality.
You get your week back
Work stops flowing back to your desk, because someone else genuinely owns it.
The business becomes an asset
A company that runs without its founder is worth considerably more than one that does not.
Is founder and scale-up coaching the right fit for you?
This is for you if
- You have a business that is already generating revenue and a team around you.
- You are growing, or want to, and can feel the structure straining.
- You are prepared to hand over work you are good at.
This is not for you if
- You are still validating the idea and have not found consistent revenue.
- You want to stay involved in every detail and are not looking to change that.
We doubled revenue without me working a single extra hour. That still feels unreal.

Founder and scale-up coaching: the questions owners ask
How is this different from the 12 Week Programme?
The 12 Week Programme is intensive and finite, designed to install the whole framework in a defined window. This is ongoing coaching at your own pace, better suited to founders who want a steady relationship rather than a sprint.
What size of business does this suit?
Typically businesses between five and fifty people, where there is a team to build structure around but the founder is still the single point of failure. Outside that range, book the call and Gerry will tell you honestly whether it fits.
Will I have to change my team?
Sometimes, though far less often than founders expect. Most underperforming teams are underperforming because of unclear ownership rather than the wrong people. We fix the structure first and reassess after.
Let's find your way through.
