So you'd like to talk about startups...

You've come to the right place!

I'm assuming you know about my background, given you want to have a conversation with me, but just in case, my coaching blog and my LinkedIn profile.

I am a startup coach. I work with early stage founders (typically pre-product/market fit) and help them stay alive long enough to figure their business out and scale to $2M or more.

In my practice, I have two engagements:

* Weekly one-on-one coaching for funded or profitable startups

* Monthly one-on-one plus weekly group coaching for pre-funded startups

I am typically down to have a first conversation with any entrepreneur, as long as I've got time in my schedule and I think I can be helpful. I'll tell you a little about my coaching on our first call, but I never sell. The vast majority of the time will be spent focused on creating tangible value for you in our 60 minutes.

Below is a brief survey that can help me better understand your startup and if we would have a great conversation. After I review your answers, I'll send you my Calendly link and we'll schedule a time to chat.

Straight-up, the better you answer these questions, the more likely we'll talk. Answering well means thoughtfulness and precision. In some cases, you may have never thought in these terms before. Please don't just jot down six words and move on. I spend my time with founders who care and think critically about their startups.

What's your Linkedin Profile?

What's your company website?

Who is your market?

What problem (or opportunity) does your market face?

What's your solution?

Any traction so far? Have you launched? If so, any customers? If so, any revenue?

Have you raised any capital? If yes, how much? If no, are you planning on raising capital? (If also no, fuck yes!)

What are you struggling with more than anything right now? (NOTE: I look at this question more carefully than anything else. This is how I decide whether I can be helpful and if we should spend time together.)

My coaching for funded founders costs $2,500/month, and my pre-funded founder coaching is $1,000/month. Both are invoiced monthly -- I need to earn the right to invoice you every month. If we want to work together, can you swing those fees?

(NOTE: your answer to this does not impact my interest in having a first conversation with you. Working with early-stage founders is part of my life's work and I'll chat with just about anyone who answers the above questions thoughtfully. This just gives me a sense of where your head is at.)

Yes!

Sadly, no.

WHEW! You're finished.

I know this probably took a minute to fill out, and I'm honored that you would take the time to tell me about yourself and your startup. I'll follow up in the next 72 hours to let you know next steps.

Thanks for your time!

Eric Marcoullier
