Who is this coaching for?

For women startup founders preparing a fundraising round or going through a phase of strong growth. Whether you are raising for the first time or structuring your team, the support starts from your real situation.

Do I need to be fundraising already to start?

No. Many founders begin beforehand, to prepare their story and their posture. Others arrive just after the round, when it is time to hire and delegate. Both moments can be worked on.

How does the support work in practice?

The format, length and rhythm are set with you during a first conversation. The support is individual and confidential, anchored in the decisions you are facing.

Executive coaching for startup founders

Preparing a fundraising round, then growing a team without losing yourself: two decisive moments where a founder gains from a solid outside view. Claire Lecarpentier, executive coach, supports you through both.

Book a conversation

During the fundraising round

A round changes the founder's job. You carry your story in front of investors, you make decisions under pressure, and you have to keep your energy over long months. The coaching works on your posture, the clarity of your narrative and the way you hold your place in the room, without losing who you are.

After the round

Once the money is in, growth accelerates. Hiring quickly without diluting your culture, moving from founder to leader, learning to delegate and bringing in your first managers: this is where many founders feel alone. The coaching supports that shift in team growth, step by step.

How the support works

The format, length and rhythm are set with you during a first conversation, to match the moment you are in. The support is individual, confidential and anchored in your real decisions.
