For Investors

Connect your portfolio companies

Dinners, Summits and Salons are a great start, but founders still crave connection. Deepen bonds through our signature interactive group coaching model.

Scale your influence

Ensure your founders have the leadership capabilities necessary to scale with our methodology that combines reflection, peer coaching, and skill acquisition.

Create "Peer Board of Advisors" for Founders

Give your founders the space to workshop and solve problems that are work in process with their peers who have "been there and done that".

Executive coaching for your founders

Founders are matched with our rigorously certified and consistently evaluated coaches. Coaches help participants build confidence in themselves and each other.

Founders Council

"It's so hard for founders to talk about the things they're trying to solve when they don't have previous experience or when they don't have a strong network of founders. We are not in the position to be able to create that for them, so we came to The Grand. The experience with The Grand has been transformative for many of the founders in my portfolio."

FAQ

We partner with you to create an experience that best supports your founders and the goals for your investment. We offer different levels of customizability depending on your needs.

The coach matching process begins after your goals and curation strategy are set. From there we select a set of best fit options from our over 300 certified coaches.

We encourage participants to commit to showing up for each session since that’s how the learning accumulates. But, we get it - we are all human. If a participant has to miss a session they have access to the tools and frameworks available on the platform.

We work with investors that span small to large portfolios, so we’ve designed our offerings to be scalable to meet your needs.

If a council does not make sense, we also offer workshops, dinners and other events to help extend your impact.
