The problem
Your job isn’t to hit the number.
Your job is to tell the founder “no” 10 times before lunch.
- No to the custom deal.
- No to the feature for 1 logo.
- No to raising money we don’t need.
And every “no” puts your job at risk.
70%
of CEOs in founder-led companies fail in 18 months. Not from bad strategy. From founder conflict.
You become the bad guy. The founder becomes the hero. And 6 months later you burn out.
There’s no playbook for this. Until now.
What you’ll get

40+ Copy/Paste Scripts
What to say to Founder, Board, Sales, and Product. When they push back. When they escalate. When they threaten to quit.
Who it’s for

- You’re CEO/COO at $10M–$100M and the founder says yes to everything
