“Working with The Grand to support our founders with group coaching was impactful and seamless. Our founders emerged feeling closer to one another and gaining new perspectives that helped them become better leaders. The Grand supported me in scaling myself and I knew we were in good hands given their attention to detail, their feedback loops, and their coaching expertise. I highly recommend partnering with them.”
“My confidence in my ability to lead a team at Startupy are a direct outcome of the coaching I have received from The Grand. It’s a privilege to have a group of peers share a space to self-reflect, be vulnerable, and grow as leaders. The mission The Grand has embarked on to help people navigate work and life decisions in community is special - founders need financial capital, but they also need emotional capital - good energy, positivity, and resilience.”
“The Grand Council for Founders far exceeded my expectations. The authenticity that everyone shows up with and the care everyone shows one another is incredible. I can honestly say I’ve altered business decisions because of the help I’ve gotten from folks, not to mention forged real relationships with other founders that I can truly lean on."
