Founder Trap® is usually most relevant when the business has grown beyond the founder’s individual capacity, but still relies on them too much for decisions, problem-solving and momentum. You may already have good people around you, but the leadership team is not yet taking ownership in the way the business needs.

The work is best suited to founder-led businesses that are ready to build more clarity, trust and accountability at leadership level. It is not about replacing the founder. It is about helping the business run with more leadership capacity around them and less daily dependence on one person.
