Our Mission & PURPOSE.
Our goal is for you to succeed in every critical negotiation. Negotiations with investors, clients, partners, and even internal negotiations with team-members can be vital to your company success. Get those right, and the value accrues to everyone.
NEGOTIATING IS A PERFORMANCE SPORT.
Negotiating is a skill you can develop. You are an athlete. It’s important to be grounded by a system that will keep you safe, arm you with confidence for any situation, and most importantly, ensure you are well prepared for every conversation.
THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL MBA NEGOTIATION CLASS.
“Getting to Yes,“ and “Win-Win Negotiations,” will ensure you lose more than you gain.
Good negotiations do not require compromise. They don’t rely on bluffing or power and leverage. Startups aren’t vulnerable because of their balance sheet - they’re vulnerable because they’re doing something that has never been done before. There is a reason your opponent wants you at the table.
You MAY Feel Uncomfortable. THAT’s OKAY.
Our methods are tried and true, but that doesn’t mean they will feel completely natural at first. You have to be okay with feeling un-okay, and trust us. You will learn to use your newly learned super-power of being quiet. And whatever your next negotiation - a commercial agreement, a funding round, or an acquisition - you will look forward to it.
The Catch.
We only work with CEOs who have been introduced to us by VC’s or other Athletes. We are not sure if we can help you. Our first call is an hour - and within that time, we will both know.
