Testimonials
Below is what founders say changed, in their words.
Have the conversation you've been avoiding
You practice saying what needs to be said. You enter the conversation with clear language and a next step.
"I experienced a deep personal and professional transformation, going from naive 1st time founder to exited founder."
Alejandro Oropeza, cofounder and CEO, Flavrs (acquired by CookUnity)
Work through cofounder conflict
You name the disagreement beneath the argument. You decide what needs to change in your roles, your relationship, or the partnership itself.
"Tarikh pushed me to get clear on strategy, lead through ambiguity, and balance people, product, and execution without burning myself out."
Felipe Baytelman, cofounder and CTO, Noken
Make decisions your team can act on
You choose the priorities and name the tradeoffs. Your team knows what to do and what can wait.
"Tarikh helped distill my communications for board, shareholders, potential acquirers and employees, which helped me keep the company aligned for success."
Varun Singh, founder and CEO, Callstats (acquired by 8x8)
Make time to think ahead
You notice recurring problems before they fill the week. You make room to think about what the company needs next.
"Tarikh balances both looking at the big picture and identifying tactical steps to enable reaching goals."
Amy LaMeyer, GP
Let your leaders lead
You give your leaders decisions they can own. Your time shifts toward the work only you can do.
"Tarikh is a fantastic coach who had a profound impact on my growth as a leader, my career, and my happiness… personally and professionally."
Alex Topiler, CPO
Ask your board for what you need
You tell the board what's happening and where you need help. You prepare for the questions you've been dreading.
"Where Tarikh creates the most value is during the transition from Founder to CEO. Managing your board, clearly communicating vision, developing a financing strategy... these are make or break skills at the early stage."
Mike Petrakis, CEO
