Your company is growing.
You’re not.
Your team feels it too. They're just not telling you.
Revenue's up. Team's growing. On paper, everything works. But you're running faster and the ground underneath you is getting softer. You built this thing. Now it's outgrowing you. And you can feel it.

The founder bottleneck assessment
Pre-diagnostic · Confidential
✓
You are the bottleneck. Every decision runs through you. Your team waits. Not because they're incapable, because you never built a system where they don't need you.
✓
You've tried to fix it. New roles. New agreements. Maybe a COO. It landed for a week. Then it faded out. Again. Like every other time.
✓
Your body is keeping score. 60-hour weeks. Four hours of sleep. Headaches that come back every Sunday night. That restlessness that doesn't switch off; not on the weekend, not on vacation, not ever.
✓
You kept the machine running this week. But what did you actually build? All your brainpower goes to keeping the lights on. Not leading. Not thinking. Just... maintenance.
✓
You can't talk about it. Not to your team. Not to your partner. Not to anyone who'd actually understand. And lately, you're starting to wonder if you can still trust your own judgment.
If you checked 3 or more, this isn't a productivity problem. It's a you problem.
5/5
Take the real assessment. 5 minutes. Brutally honest.
You already know the answers. This just makes them impossible to ignore.

the work
Your handler.
Not your coach.
Not your consultant.
Ever seen an elite athlete without a handler? Someone who watches the tape, sees what they can't see, and calls it out. Not to be nice. To make them better.
That's what I do. For founders. I get in the room. In two days, I see what you haven't seen in a year. I confront you with what's actually happening. In your company, in your team, in yourself.
Then I walk out. You decide what to do with it. Two days. Not two years.
This is not:
✕
Coaching ("and how does that make you feel?")
✕
Consulting (60 slides you'll never implement)
✕
A year-long retainer that drains your calendar
✕
Someone who tells you what you already know in nicer words
✕
Dependency. I walk in, I diagnose, I walk out.
There’s two ways in.
the intervention
Private. Two days. Your company.
We walk through your company in two days. Day one: You. Day two: your leadership team. We diagnose what’s really going on and say what nobody else will say. You walk out with brutal clarity on what needs to change, in your company, in your team, in yourself. And get a team that’s aligned with the plan. No follow-up contract. No retainer fee. Just the truth and a plan that sticks.
most founders start here
→ For founders with a team of 10-55 who feel stuck.
The scan
Group diagnostic. 15-20 founders. One room.
Full day. I work live. Each founder gets diagnosed. You walk in thinking your problem is unique. You walk out realizing it's not, and knowing exactly what to do about it.
→ The diagnostic experience in a group setting.
how it starts
No doctor prescribes without a diagnosis first.
phase 01
The Diagnostic Call
45 minutes. Free. I listen. I mirror back what I hear. I ask the questions nobody else dares to ask, including the ones you won't ask yourself. You leave sharper than you walked in. That's the minimum.
phase 02
The Diagnosis
Based on what's actually going on, not what you think is going on, I determine what your situation needs. The Intervention or The Scan. No upsell. No filler.
phase 03
Two Days
Day one: you. Everything on the table. Day two: your team and the conversations that should have happened a year ago. Two days that shift something fundamental. Then I walk out.
Everything starts with one conversation.
Free. 45 minutes. No pitch, just clarity.

Ruben D’Hooghe
Founder, Kommodoor
I've been where you are. Built companies. Ran two businesses at once. Worked seven days a week for twelve years until my body made the decision for me. I know what it feels like when the company you built starts growing over you.
I get in the room, I see what you can't see from the inside, and I say what nobody else will say. Two days. Then you take it from there.
I'm not the right fit for everyone. If I don't think I can help, I'll tell you. But if there's something real to work with, you'll know after one conversation.
