For seed to Series B founders and executives
The Founder’s Internal Communications Operating System
A practical system for deciding what employees need to know, who should communicate it and which rhythms prevent the founder from becoming the company’s only source of context.
Who it is for
- Founders who are still the single source of company context
- Executives building a communications rhythm for the first time
- Companies that have outgrown informal updates but do not want bureaucracy
The problem it solves
As a company grows past the point where everyone hears everything, context stops travelling. Decisions arrive without reasoning, and the founder becomes a bottleneck they cannot see.
What is inside
- 01The founder communication bottleneck
- 02Audience and channel architecture
- 03Weekly, monthly and quarterly rhythms
- 04Town hall design
- 05Manager cascades
- 06Sensitive decisions
- 07Measuring understanding rather than output
