Service
Grow the company without losing yourself.
The company can only grow as far as the person running it. We help you keep your energy, your judgment and your life intact while you build.
Founder coaching at Regenerate Capital is one-on-one work for founders and executives who are building fast. It looks after five healths (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial) through seven fundamentals: eat, sleep, move, breathe, focus, celebrate, prosper. You leave with clearer decisions, steadier energy and routines you can keep. It is not therapy.
What’s included
What the service includes.
Seven fundamentals plan
A simple weekly plan for how you eat, sleep, move, breathe, focus, celebrate and prosper.
One-on-one sessions
Regular conversations about the decision, conflict or pressure that is actually in front of you.
Decision support
A second head on hard calls: a key hire, co-founder tension, whether to raise, when to say no.
Calendar and energy audit
We look at where your hours and your energy really go, then redesign the week around both.
Personal runway clarity
You know your personal numbers, so money worry stops making company decisions for you.
Referrals when needed
Introductions to therapists, doctors and health practitioners in our network when something goes beyond coaching.
Sound familiar?
Do you have these problems?
- You’re sleeping five hours a night and calling it a phase.
- Every decision feels urgent, and you can’t tell which ones actually matter.
- You haven’t exercised in weeks, and your patience with the team shows it.
- You hit a milestone and moved straight to the next worry without noticing.
- You’re no longer sure why you’re building, only that you can’t stop.
- Your personal finances are tight enough to bend your company decisions.
Our approach
How we solve them.
01
Start with a baseline
We rate the five healths together and pick the one or two that are costing you the most right now.
02
Fundamentals come first
Sleep, food, movement and breathing come before strategy. Small, boring changes you can repeat on a hard week.
03
Protect your focus
We redesign your calendar around deep-work blocks and cut the meetings that don’t need you.
04
Work the real decisions
Each session starts with what is in front of you this week and ends with one committed next step.
05
Celebrate and review
We mark what went well, reread your why and adjust the plan every month. Prospering includes enjoying it.
Track record
How we’ve solved it before.
Drawn from our founder’s past roles and companies. Past results don’t guarantee future outcomes.
Built at speed
Our founder was COO of MLG Blockchain as the team grew from 4 to 120 people in 9 months, fully remote. He knows that pressure from the inside.
Every seat at the table
Joaquim has held CEO, COO, CMO and Chief of Staff roles, and has 2 exits as a co-founder.
Mentor to founders
Our founder has been a mentor or advisor at Techstars, Founder Institute, Outlier Ventures and FounderFuel.
Do it yourself
Resources to solve it yourself.
Start this week
- Set a fixed wake-up time for seven days, weekends included, and note how you feel each morning.
- Take a ten-minute walk after lunch, without your phone.
- Block two deep-work mornings this week and decline anything that lands on them.
- Write one paragraph on why you’re building this company, and put it where you’ll see it daily.

Questions
Straight answers.
Is this therapy or medical advice?
No. Coaching is not therapy, medical care or medical advice. If something needs a therapist or a doctor, we’ll say so and help you find one through our network.
Who is founder coaching for?
Founders and executives who are building fast and want their energy and judgment to hold up over years, not months.
How do terms work?
Terms are flexible and shaped around your startup: equity, cash, commission, in-kind or a mix, always agreed in writing.
