Building something that matters to you is a special kind of bonkers. We help founders move and enjoy their work, so what you're making carries the best of who you are, even when:

You’re scattered, overwhelmed, or frustratingly stuck

Your flow comes in flashes, but never seems to last

The systems you’ve cobbled together could use some outside support

You've done big things before, but they cost you more than they should have

Our method isn’t about productivity hacks or rigid routines. It’s about agreeing to playful constraints that channel big creative energies in surprising, delightful ways. It’s about making the act of founding feel fun and sustainable.

Kristen and Dave have an extra-ordinary gift for turning the chaos in your mind into clear, sometimes poetic thoughts. They’re fully present when they listen — you feel truly heard, and what you share feels important. When they work their magic together, you walk away feeling empowered, energized, and grateful to have crossed paths with them, even if only for an hour.

Dave & Kristen provide encouragement & space to give young ideas the room to grow. They were the first people I brought my work to when I needed a playground to safely kick the tires. They're serious about play.
