Engage in an 8-week transformational experience and translate your values and vision to everyone in the company.
You need to work in parallel on product, client base, team and culture development. No aspect of the business should be overlooked as it can lead to fast decline.
Building a business from the ground up can be a bumpy ride. Through all the situations they encounter, Founders face and overcome their own demons, challenge their worth and question the fundamentals of their identity.
But what happens when you start adding new employees and need to scale the team, while establishing processes and best practices? Passing the founder’s vision, drive and ethics to newcomers often is a doomed undertaking, as new employees simply can’t “click” with the importance of “what we are doing around here” and the importance of acting as entrepreneurs from day One.
This program enables Founders to explore their values and personal storylines that have led to the creation of the business. Founders understand their leadership style and how it affects people around them. They articulate their powerful purpose and vision.
Individual and co-founder values, vision and purpose are then translated into a company culture canvas that brings abstract concepts into an easy-to-understand framework to make culture actionable. Action plans are created and a rite of passage is designed for Founders to experience the importance of this transformation and move to the next level of their personal and professional development.

„The Founder Footprint program helped me and my co-founder go through a process of values and leadership style definition. This helped us put words to what we already felt and clearly articulate what our company values and culture are. This process was very insightful and later helped us during recruitment to assess whether a candidate was right for us. We are now working with the insights from this program in onboarding and performance evaluation.“
