Not theory. Real filings, real disputes, real founders who found out too late. Delivered with the energy of a room that does not want to be there and leaves wishing it had more time.
- Insights
Who This Is For
Built for the people making decisions before the company is ready to have them made.
First-Time Founders, Pre-Seed to Seed
You are moving fast because you have to. Cap tables, resolutions, and compliance filings often get built with duct tape in the first twelve months. This training closes the gaps before an investor or auditor finds them.
Scaling Teams
Series A brought headcount, new hires, new managers, new decision points. The informal way you ran things at eight people breaks quietly at forty. Growth without governance is a liability with a growth curve.
Multi-Entity Founders
A parent company, a subsidiary, maybe an ESOP trust. Ownership structures multiply faster than most founders track them. This training maps who actually owns and controls what, across every entity.
Ops & Finance Leads
COOs and CFOs who inherit the compliance debt of a fast-moving company. You are the one who finds out the filing was missed, the resolution never passed, or the cap table was never reconciled.
The Programmes
Six ways in, from a single half-day workshop to a full governance overhaul as you scale.
Half-day
Startup Governance Bootcamp
The starting point for early-stage founders. What actually needs a resolution, what your incorporation documents really say, and the five habits that keep a young company audit-ready.
- Founding documents, decoded
- Board and shareholder resolutions: the basics
- The compliance calendar no one hands you
Full-day
Scale-Up Structure & Accountability
For companies past their first hiring spree. Where authority actually sits once you have managers, and how to structure decision-making before it structures itself badly.
- Delegation vs. abdication of authority
- Building a real org chart, on paper and in practice
- Board packs and reporting lines that scale
3-Day Intensive
Accelerated Scale Governance
A deep, applied 3-day programme for companies scaling fast across multiple fronts: hiring, fundraising, and entity structure all at once. Built to keep governance from breaking under speed.
- Full governance audit across all entities
- Investor-ready documentation, built live
- A 12-month governance roadmap
Half-day
Cap Table & Equity Governance
Cap tables that make sense to everyone who is on them. Vesting schedules, ESOP pool mechanics, and dilution scenarios walked through with your actual numbers.
- Reading and reconciling your own cap table
- ESOP pool design and vesting traps
- Dilution scenarios before your next round
Full-day
Fundraising Readiness & Investor Governance
What a term sheet actually gives away, and what it protects. Investor rights versus founder control, and the board composition decisions that follow every raise.
- Term sheet literacy: rights, not just valuation
- Investor rights vs. founder control
- Board composition after the round closes
Full-day
Founder Exit & Succession Planning
What happens to control when a co-founder leaves, retires, or is bought out. Buyback clauses, drag-along and tag-along rights, and the succession plan most founders never write down.
- Buyback and buy-sell clauses that actually work
- Drag-along and tag-along rights explained
- Writing the succession plan before you need it
The Framework Behind It
Rooted in the Ownership Map
You can delegate the work. You cannot delegate the accountability.
Every programme on this page is an application of the same five-layer framework: Money, Control, Decision, Accountability, Continuity. It is not generic training dressed up with your name on it.
It is the same lens Mayank uses in his own advisory practice, adapted into a session your team can sit through together.
