Founder coaching · Denver

Decisions you will still defend next quarter.

Threshold Coaching Studio works with owner-led services firms between $2M and $20M who are tired of being the escalation point for every hire, pricing call, and angry client email. Sessions combine accountability, financial literacy, and leadership drills—you leave with commitments written in your own words, not ours.

Limited to 12 founders per quarterly cohort.

Coaching voices

“I raised prices 18% with their script and lost zero clients—just gained sleep.”
Tessa MonroeOwner, Monroe Environmental
“The cohort called my bluff on hiring a ‘do everything’ ops person. We split the role and margins jumped.”
Andre SilvaCEO, Silva Field Services
“Retreat weekend forced a strategy conversation my partners avoided for two years.”

Composite quotes.

Fit & logistics

Is this therapy?

No—we focus on business decisions, leadership behavior, and financial outcomes. We refer to therapists when personal issues need clinical care.

Do you take equity?

Cash only. We do not take warrants or revenue share.

Can my co-founder join?

Yes for 1:1 with a joint session fee; cohort seats are individual founders only.

What if I miss sessions?

Reschedule within the quarter; cohort sessions are recorded with consent for absent members. Make-up intensives are available once per year if you travel for more than two consecutive weeks.

Do you work with spouses who are co-owners?

We coach one accountable founder per seat. Co-owners may join a joint pricing lab, but weekly 1:1 work stays individual so commitments stay honest.

How do you measure progress?

We track leading indicators you choose—pipeline coverage, gross margin, hours you work, and hiring milestones—and review them every fourth session with written notes you can share with your board.

Apply with your P&L and your biggest argument with yourself.

We accept founders who will do homework—not those shopping for miracles.
