HELPING FOUNDERS NAVIGATE HIGH-STAKES MOMENTS

Coaching for startup leaders facing real-world challenges, from someone who's been in the trenches.

About Inder:

The 3 Types of Coaches

Therapist-Type Coach

Focus: mindset, emotional intelligence, personal growth f

Experienced Founder/
Operator Coach

(That’s me)

Focus: tactical, been-there guidance, real-world problem solving

Performance/Skills Coach

Focus: leadership skills, communication, measurable growth

While I blend approaches from all 3 styles, I am primarily an experienced operator and founder coach who has been in the trenches

If you’re facing big decisions, tough conversations, or navigating chaos, that’s where I do my best work. I work primarily with startup founders and executives leading companies with <$20M in annual revenue, who are navigating high stakes challenges like:

Managing growth | Hiring/Firing | Board or investor dynamics
Pivots or layoffs | Extending runway

My Coaching Philosophy

There’s a big difference between a coach and a great coach.

When I first looked for a coach myself—burnt out as a founder and CEO—I heard the same thing from other founders I trusted:


“It felt more like therapy. Helpful for reflection, but not actionable. I wasn’t sure what to actually do next.”


They wanted something more: someone who could ask the right questions and truly understand the founder experience. Someone who had been in the trenches. Someone who could empathize with how lonely it can get and offer hard-earned guidance when it really mattered.
That’s the kind of coach I needed—and what I now strive to be for others.

What You’ll Get From Me
You'll get the deep questions and real empathy—because I’ve lived it.
But you'll also get perspective and actionable advice when you're stuck. Not just someone to guide you to your own answers (though we’ll do that too), but a thought partner who can spot patterns, see around corners, and help you move faster with confidence.


Every session starts with your agenda: what’s on your mind, what you’re navigating, what’s keeping you up at night. I’ll show up having reflected on our past work and ready to dive in.


Sometimes we’ll stay tactical: rehearsing a tough conversation with a team member, navigating board dynamics, refining a strategic narrative. Other times, we’ll zoom out: how are you doing as a leader? Are you seeing the forest for the trees? Are you pacing yourself for the marathon, not just sprinting to survive?

Is This Right For You?
Fit matters. If you’re curious, let’s talk.
Better yet—bring something real you’re grappling with, and let’s dig into it together.
