The Stakes
Multiple studies have revealed a significant share of funded founders walk away with less than their employees.
Not because they failed. Because they did not understand the rules of the game.
Luck, hype, hidden terms → Clarity, control, outcomes that create real economic value.

What Founders Say
Results That Speak
Chris taught me how to navigate real complexity. When I was facing a critical license negotiation and a turbulent funding round, his AEIOU guidance gave me the clarity and decision structure to break chaos into solvable moves. I did the work—but I won because of what he taught me.
Chris transformed how I lead in the boardroom. His AEIOU framework taught me how to manage adversarial directors, neutralize rogue behavior, and turn conflict into strategic leverage. Applying what he taught likely added tens of millions to our next raise.
In my career evaluating training and leadership programs across the U.S. Army and beyond, very few met the level of rigor, structure, and real-world execution I see in AEIOU. This program stands out immediately.
