Our founder
Learning from his own startups, Derek went on to mentor many startup owners.
Now, he is sharing what he learned to help an even wider community of startups 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.
