We will provide a structured framework, training, business-building tools and a supportive community, to help you gain the skills and confidence to increase your chances of success.
Inspiration is at our core
We will share knowledge and advice grounded in expertise gained through years of experience mentoring startups.

With a helping hand from a supportive community forum, your journey will be easier.
Our founder
Learning from his own startups, Derek went on to specialize in mentoring startup owners.
Now, he is sharing what he learned to help an even wider community of startup founders succeed.
Inspired by my own startup experiences and years of startup mentoring, I'm on a mission to provide practical help to business founders.
I want you to succeed where I, and others, may have struggled before.
