Dave Bailey

The performance of your startup is limited by your performance as a founder. It’s a scary thought and the reason why founders carry so much on their shoulders. It takes one to know one. After three VC-backed startups and my share of big wins and even bigger failures, I learned that it takes more than smarts and logic to win. At its core, coaching is about asking the right questions and providing practical tools to help you to achieve more with less. This applies to Founder CEOs, just like it does to athletes: the game is won and lost in your head. For over 10 years, I’ve faced many of the struggles that you are likely to face: raising money, pivoting, managing teams, building great products, selling, marketing, recruiting and more. As a coach, it's my job to: - Learn what I’ve learned - without the 10 years of pain - Work through your hardest problems faster - Acquire cutting-edge management skills - Become more confident and self-aware - See around corners: anticipating problems later down the road I use coaching techniques to ask the right questions at the right time, stimulate better ways of thinking, and encourage self-reflection and challenge. You can count on me bringing all my passion and energy to the table, as well as deep knowledge from mentoring 50+ companies. You can expect: - Bi-monthly 2-hour sessions focused on your most important issues - Tailored training on negotiating, communications, growth and more - 24/7 phone support when you need it most - Weekly follow-ups that keep you accountable - Clear and direct expectations Visit www.dave-bailey.com for more information and to inquire about CEO coaching. I look forward to connecting with you!
