Go beyond the basics
One-on-ones are important, but there is so much more to leading engineering teams.
We will show you the way.
We're living our content
We're neither coaches nor consultants.
In fact, both of us recently left established companies to join early-stage startups and the tools you'll get are the ones we're using today.
Don't go it alone
Leadership is less lonely with a supportive community of peers.
The cohort community will have your back.
