The Founders Board · application

Before we get on a call, a few things about the business.

Three outcomes the board is for

More profit. A business that runs without the owner. The next locations.

The calls are limited to owners we know we can help. This is not a pitch. On the call, Alex's team looks at the operation, the numbers, and the goal, and says what they would do. That only works with context, so the form asks for some.

Two minutes. Be honest; the more context, the more useful the conversation.

What happens after

  1. 1We read the application. A person, not a filter.
  2. 2If it looks like a fit, we book a call and look at the operation together: locations, numbers, team, bottleneck.
  3. 3We decide together whether the Founders Board is the right next step. If it is not, we say so and point to a better one.

Built for

  • Restaurants doing roughly $1M to $20M+ a year
  • One to ten locations, with more planned
  • Owners who want the business to run without them on the floor

Not yet open, or under $1M? Apply anyway and we will tell you straight. We keep applications on file and pick them up when the numbers are there.
