Grow the company past your own ceiling.
For founders of $10M to $150M companies who built something real and want the next level. You've read the books and know the systems. This installs the structure to actually run them, with your team.
What are you actually building?
You didn't do this for its own sake. There's a future you're after: more freedom, a number, a legacy, a life you want. Growth is how you get there. Choosing value is how you make sure you actually arrive.
A company doesn't outgrow its owner.
It rises to the level you lead it at, and gets stuck where you do. So the work starts with you: growing into the owner's seat, out of the operator's. Concrete leadership work, aimed at the business. It develops you, it does not reinvent you.
You've probably said one of these.
You built something real. You've read every book on how to scale it. And you still can't get the company to run the way you know it should.
Most of your net worth is in this one company. Left alone, it gets stuck at the level you can personally hold, growth just adds chaos, and the senior people you need for the next phase won't join a company that runs on one person.
Growth should produce lift. Done right, the business gets stronger and lighter at once: worth more, and less dependent on you.
From holding it together to handing it off.
Three steps to begin, taken in order, and then a rhythm that keeps going. Each one earns the next, and you go as far as the work earns.
ValueX
What the business is worth today, in the context of your life: your wealth, and what you want the business to do for you next. 45 days to collect information, then a workshop that identifies what matters most and what comes next.
›Design12
Direction your leadership team owns and executes, so the priorities stop resetting every quarter.
›Build90
Ninety-day cycles that turn the plan into progress and let the business run without you as the bottleneck.
Before any of it, a free workshop is an open door: a working day on what makes a business worth more, no engagement required.
What good looks like.
The business reaches the next level
Decisions don't wait on you, so the company can take on more than you could carry alone.
You can read the money, and act on it
Profit and cash stop being two different stories. You know where the money is, why, and what to change.
You've grown into the owner's seat
The firefighting fades, and you lead the business instead of running it. What you build no longer depends on you, and that is what makes it transferable and worth more.
A buyer sees a business that stands on its own
When you're ready, whether a sale, a transition, or just optionality, the value is legible and holds up under diligence.
Your time becomes a choice
The business no longer needs you in every room. Where your attention goes is finally yours to decide, and that freedom is earned.
What the work is worth when it counts.
Years of cadence. An exit that proved it.
Kinco is a founder-led manufacturer that wanted to keep growing without the business leaning harder on its owner. We installed a quarterly operating cadence and opened the economics to the team, so the people running the work could see the score and act on it.
Year over year, the leadership team took on more of the plan and the founder stepped further out of the day to day. In under two years, employee engagement rose by half, revenue grew by more than a quarter, and profitability doubled. This is the work that later became Build90, run here well before it had the name.
Kinco has since completed an exit to a capital partner, at a valuation nearly double its industry average.
