A personal welcome from Dave Bailey, our CEO.
Startups scale fast. Founders need to scale faster.
After founding three venture-backed startups, I learned that you can't scale a company without scaling yourself.
There were so many moments I felt out of my depth. Like I was the bottleneck.
Generic leadership advice didn't help. What I needed was a system designed specifically for founder-CEOs - something built for the realities of hypergrowth, investor pressure, and ambitious teams.
That's why I created the Founder Leadership System™. It’s the system I wish I’d had—and now, hundreds of CEOs are using it to scale faster and lead better.

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 other founders navigate the same scaling challenges I’d faced myself.
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 lead better, faster.
