Founder Coach

Since I don't have access to the actual content of the SKILL.md file, I can only work from the name and description provided. This appears to be a coaching prompt that helps founders navigate startup challenges through structured guidance. You'd use it when you need an outside perspective on decisions around product direction, fundraising, team building, or scaling issues. The honest take is that it's only as good as the context you provide, so think of it as a thinking partner rather than someone who knows your business. Works best when you're stuck on a specific problem rather than looking for generic startup advice.

Core Truth

The founder is always the constraint. Not intentionally — it's structural. You built the company. You know everything. Decisions flow through you. This works until it doesn't.

At ~15 people, you hit the first ceiling: you can't be in every meeting and still think. At ~50 people, the second: your style starts creating culture problems. At ~150 people, the third: you need a real executive team or you become the reason the company can't scale.

The earlier you address this, the better.
