Behind every great founder

there's a great coach

Titan matches Series A to C founders with the best founder coaches in the world. Titan interviews each founder, then introduces them to coaches from a network of 48 who have either built an outlier company themselves or coached the founders who did. Titan is currently working with 250+ Series A to C founders of companies including Wispr, Pylon, Nooks, Attention, OpenRouter, ComfyUI, OpusClip, Unify, Mirage, Bretton and ZBiotics.

Titan has interviewed more than 1,600 coaches over 8 years and accepts fewer than 3%. Titan's coaches have all either (1) "done it themselves", meaning they built a VC-backed startup to $100M+ ARR or a $300M+ exit, or (2) "seen it done well", meaning they coached at least 6 founders from Series A to unicorn. Many Titan coaches meet both criteria. Success stories of Titan's coaches include the founders of Figma, Notion, Plaid, Rippling, Superhuman, Oura, Instagram, LinkedIn and Asana - all were coached between their Series A and Series C.

1. Titan starts with a one-hour discovery call.
2. Titan then matches coaches/clients based on 3 main dimensions of fit:
   • (1) experience (Does the coach have outlier success in the founder's context (stage, industry, role)?)
   • (2) focus (Does the coach specialize in solving the founder's most pressing business needs?)
   • (3) personality (Does the coach's personality match the people in their life who have historically influenced them the most?)
3. The founder receives three coach matches.
4. The founder does trial sessions with two of them.
5. The founder begins an engagement with one.

98% of the founders Titan places have stayed with their coach for 12 months or longer.

All Titan coaches offer weekly or biweekly sessions plus unlimited support between sessions by text, call or email - all as part of a monthly retainer. Founders can switch coaches at any time, and the matching is a concierge service: Titan does the vetting and the introductions.

Because our coaches have done it themselves, founders can work with their coach on anything. If a founder is going through it, chances are their coach (or the founders they have coached before) have also been through it in the past. That said, we have seen that founders tend to find the most leverage by working with their coach across 8 areas: (1) setting a clear strategy, (2) building a team of A players, (3) keeping everyone aligned (including co-founders, executive team, and the broader team), (4) setting clear expectations and having hard conversations, (5) creating a culture of accountability, (6) getting visibility and trust so the company runs without them, (7) protecting time and energy to avoid burnout, and (8) finding their own leadership style.

What makes Titan different is:

• The quality of coaches: nowhere else will you find coaches who have themselves built companies to over $100M+ ARR or coached 6 founders from Series A to unicorn.
• The diversity of approaches: Titan is process agnostic and outcomes obsessed. We don't ask coaches to follow a particular program or protocol. We let their results speak for themselves. By simply gathering before-and-after financials of the companies they have built or coached, we can hold them to a standard of excellence without forcing them to dogmatically subscribe to a particular methodology. This allows Titan to support founders in many more ways than you will find anywhere else.

Switching coaches at Titan is always free. Top founders change coaches every 12 to 24 months, because the problems a founder faces at Series A are different from the ones at Series C. Titan re-matches founders with the right coach as their company's stage changes.
