Our mission is to give startup CEOs the SUPERPOWERS to reach their most audacious goals while creating feedback loops that promote happiness and fulfillment in their lives.

A 4-week Cohort-based Course led by the Best Coaches for Scaling CEOs in the Startup Ecosystem

What if you could free up 8+ hours each week, increase your output 3x while cutting your strain in half, and have time to invest in meaningful relationships, inspiring others to join your cause and follow you through hell and back?


In short, what if we could give you SUPERPOWERs?


Many founders stumble into the role of CEO almost by accident. You had an amazing idea, a mission and a product that could change the world. And up to this point, you could ride the dopamine rush that comes from resolving conflicts, fighting fires, and getting into the weeds to fix things yourself.

But there comes a time when every founder needs to either step up to become more than a doer-in-chief—or else risk losing everything you've worked hard for so far.

The biggest reason why founders fail during this transition isn’t lack of ability. Rather, most fail due to the time suck of reactive work, the lack of mental spaciousness, or simply the failure to realize that this transition requires proactive attention.

In this course, we’ll give you the proven tools you need to excel during the transition from Firecracker Founder to Superpowered CEO.

We’ll go in-depth on the following concepts

Save 8+ hours/week by fundamentally changing how to hire and work with an executive assistant

Enjoy consistent blocks of uninterrupted time that give you the spaciousness to do your best deep thinking work

Generate mind-blowing opportunities—that you usually leave up to serendipity—by fully leveraging your network

Increase your output 3x while cutting your strain in half

Become more proactive - identify the projects that produce the biggest results and drive them!

Experience the benefits of deep, fulfilling relationships: lower stress, less sacrifice, and greater mental health.

You know you need to be less reactive if you want to become the inspiring, proactive, intentional leader your company needs. 

You know that velocity is your competitive advantage, but you’re worried about slowing growth by being a Bottleneck.

You feel like there's never enough time to fully think things through or problem solve. The most important things like relationships keep falling through the cracks.

In this course, you will learn the skills required to transition from scrambling founder, barely keeping your head above water, to Superpowered CEO. Stay ahead of the wave, enjoy mental spaciousness to do deep thinking, and empty your desk of tasks that clog throughput so you can invest deeply in relationships, inspiring others to join your cause and follow you through hell and back.

Since engaging with Mindmaven, I work a third to half as much as I did prior to working with you guys and bringing in our EA. But my output is at least 3x. I actually have the space to think again!

Thanks to Mindmaven’s tactics like voice dictations, meeting debriefs, and inbox shadowing, I’ve freed up at least 10 hours in my week.

Mindmaven brought me more predictable days, less stress, and stronger relationships. The depth they operate at when teaching how to connect more deeply with others is simply profound.

“I don't want to sound corny, but your presentation was just about life changing for me. I am a first time founder a year into our journey and it was exactly what I was looking for! Clear, actionable steps to make my life easier. It has already been showing dividends.”

Increase your retention and complete proactive work during engaging live discussions, group breakout sessions, intensive study halls, and guided brainstorms.
