Cohorts

You’ll be matched with 6–8 other seasoned business owners who are navigating a similar season—often within 1 to 5 years of a potential exit. We carefully consider each person’s Transition Readiness results, mindset patterns, and business context to curate a group of non-competing founders who share a desire to pause, reflect, and grow. These aren’t surface-level matches. They’re designed to create deep resonance and trust from day one.

Honest conversations. Shared wisdom. Mutual respect. Over time, your cohort becomes a trusted container where questions like “Who am I without the business?” don’t feel indulgent—they feel essential. As you each wrestle with your own version of what’s next, you’ll find yourself supported, challenged, and seen in ways that few founders ever experience.

We meet virtually, by design. This isn’t a backup plan—it’s a purposeful choice that allows us to serve business owners wherever life and leadership may take them. Whether you’re in your office, at a family retreat, or in the middle of travel, you can stay fully engaged without sacrificing connection. Our virtual format makes it possible to bring together diverse, non-competing founders from across geographies—while still creating the intimacy, trust, and depth that define the Lab experience.

Once a month, for a focused 2-hour session. Your cohort will settle on a recurring day and time that works for everyone. This cadence is intentional: not too frequent to be overwhelming, but consistent enough to create real momentum and meaningful change over time.

After you complete your Readiness Assessment and, optionally, a Trial Run, we use your results across the six pillars and mindset patterns to create a balanced, confidential group. Our goal is to align founders who are in compatible emotional and strategic seasons, so conversations feel relevant, personal, and catalytic.

Every cohort is co-led by Chris and Lisa, who alternate leading the monthly sessions. Together, they bring a balance of lived founder experience and deep coaching insight. That shared leadership creates continuity, care, and perspective as you move through your transition journey. You’re not getting one coach—you’re gaining a partnership that’s fully invested in your growth.
