A personal welcome from Dave Bailey, our CEO.
Alignment starts with you.
After founding three venture-backed startups, I realised you can’t scale a company if your team isn’t fully aligned behind you.
There were countless moments I felt stuck—explaining the same thing again and again while progress slowed.
Generic leadership advice didn’t help. I needed a system that would help me create clarity, communicate it simply, and reset expectations fast.
That’s why I built the Founder Leadership System™—the system I wish I’d had. Today, hundreds of CEOs use it to lead with clarity and accelerate their teams.
Ready to find your right next step?
Every high-growth company needs a system.
The Founder Leadership System™ will help you scale your company and your leadership without burning out, losing control, or lowering your standards.
All of our frameworks stem from this model.
Our CEO assessment shows you which lever will unlock the most growth right now.

About our CEO, Dave Bailey
From founder to coach to creator of a coaching system.
I've founded three venture-backed companies—including Delivery Hero—and spent over a decade in the trenches building high-growth startups.
When I transitioned into coaching other founders, it wasn't to start a business-it was to give back. I wanted to help founders break through the same alignment challenges I’d faced.
A few years ago, I asked one of my most successful clients:
That answer stuck with me.
It wasn't just the conversations. It was the clarity, the structure, the shared language across their teams.
That's when l asked myself:
"What if visual models could help CEOs clarify what good looks like for every challenge?
That question led to the Founder Leadership System™, built specifically for founder-CEOs scaling fast.
Since then, I've created over 500 visual frameworks and now spend my time equipping some of the world's most ambitious CEOs with the tools to help them align their teams and execute faster.
