A structured quarterly operating rhythm that takes scaling founder teams from gap identification through targeted execution sparring, personal coaching, and quarterly reset — always calibrated to the next refinancing milestone.
Four phases · Quarterly cadence · Always aligned to the next Series B milestone
Complete the Acceleration Diagnostic at the start of each quarter — or as your entry point into FounderAgent. The 30-question assessment covers Technical, Business & Finance, and GTM & Commercial dimensions.
The diagnostic produces a Triangle Radar showing your current strength profile across all three dimensions and a Series B Gap Map that identifies your lowest-scoring dimension as the highest-leverage intervention point.
Triangle Radar Score — visualises your execution profile across Technical, Business, and GTM on a single chart. Reveals imbalances before they become crises.
Series B Gap Map — your lowest dimension becomes your Q1 sparring priority. The map includes specific agent routing: which of the three specialized agents to engage first and on what topic.
Agent Routing — the diagnostic recommends the highest-impact session to start with.
Three specialized AI agents — each built on the BoardAgent knowledge base used by PE-backed boards and executive teams. Each agent is calibrated to your stage, sector, and the Series B threshold.
2–3 agent sessions per week during active execution periods. 1 session minimum per week during quieter periods. Sessions are context-aware — the agent reads your sector, stage, and prior context to avoid starting from scratch each time.
The Founder Coach is a personal effectiveness layer that sits alongside the three execution agents. Unlike the Technical, Business, and GTM agents which operate at the company level, the Coach operates at the founder level.
Activate it during high-stress periods, major decision points, co-founder tension, or any moment where personal clarity matters more than another strategy session.
Co-founder dynamics — role clarity, conflict navigation, equity conversation preparation, and decision authority disputes.
Investor management — board relationship stewardship, update narrative, difficult investor conversations, and pre-wiring board meetings.
Personal effectiveness — decision fatigue, leadership presence, communication style, and managing through uncertainty.
Founder transitions — first hires, letting go of execution, first VP-level appointment, moving from founder to CEO.
At the end of each quarter, re-run the Acceleration Diagnostic to generate updated scores. Compare your new Triangle Radar against the previous quarter's baseline to measure progress and surface new gaps.
The RESET session with your Business Agent reviews the quarter against the Series B milestone checklist and sets the priority stack for the next cycle.
Updated Triangle Radar — track movement in each dimension. Consistent upward progress signals Series B readiness. Flat or declining dimensions signal a gap that needs immediate focus next cycle.
Next-cycle priority stack — which agent to engage first in Q2, what specific topics, and which tools to use.
Raise readiness check — a quick flag on whether your current profile clears the Series B threshold across technical, financial, and commercial dimensions.
Each free tool maps to a specific phase and agent in the cycle. Use this as a quick routing guide.
