About Tony Clemendor 📈
WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU As a founder/CEO, your company will only move as fast as you do. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or believe you should be moving faster, I can help. As a Founder Coach, I specialize in working with early-stage startup founders to identify strategies and build actionable roadmaps that drive momentum for you and your company. WHAT THIS WILL DO FOR YOU Founding a startup can be daunting. Identifying a market need, defining a customer profile, and creating an effective Go-to-Market plan are not skills most first-time founders have been taught. If you're struggling to gain traction, facing a fear of failure, or feeling like you're in over your head, I can guide you to execute with confidence, avoid common founder mistakes, and achieve the initial revenue and traction needed to scale your company. WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT I bootstrapped my last startup to over $80 million before being acquired by a publicly traded brokerage firm. With over 25 years of experience, I’ve been on all sides of the startup table—screening potential deals for angel groups, judging pitch competitions, and mentoring startups for accelerators. I also hold a Psychology degree from Tufts and an MBA from Harvard. Unlike typical coaches, advisors, or mentors, my approach blends all three styles based on your needs at the time, providing psychological and motivational support alongside my expertise, experience, and network. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING “As both a founder of a start-up, and Managing Partner of a venture capital firm for many years, I see Tony’s coaching as a substantial and unrivaled competitive advantage for both myself and my investee companies.” — Irfhan Rawji, Managing Partner, Relay Ventures “Tony has a certain cache among industry pros for being able to elevate individual StartUps from zero to hero status. He's one of the most able in Silicon Valley, and Founders would be remiss not to reach out to him.” — George Parrish, Bay Angels (More recommendations at the bottom of my profile) TO LEARN HOW FOUNDER/CEO COACHING CAN HELP YOU AND YOUR COMPANY Message me on LinkedIn or email me to schedule a call. ✅ tony@thefoundersforge.com ✅ Schedule a call
