Stages of Cofounder Conflict
Cofounders’ options and actions depend on the stage of conflict.
Identified But Not Escalated
You realized that it’s becoming harder to work with your cofounder(s). You still trust them and want to pursue a path forward together. We can help you realign and rebuild.
Escalated But Resolvable
The conflict starts affecting the broader team. Productivity is impacted. Something needs to be done. We come in as mediators to work through the conflict, before it has adverse effects on you, your cofounding team, or the startup.
Looking For An Exit
You’ve tried your best to mend the situation, but you can’t see a path forward working together anymore. It is better for you and the startup, if you separated. We help you devise an exit strategy, with an amicable way forward
Beyond Repair
At least one party has taken an action that is not retractable. Dispute is is imminent. We can work with the cofounder or the startup navigate the dispute, preparing multiple possible scenarios and working towards the most favorable outcomes.
