Important decisions happen without you
You find out at the all-hands
At 10 people, you're in every strategic conversation. You make decisions with your team in hours, with full context. By 75 people, critical choices are being made by managers you barely know. You start seeing the outcomes, but you've lost the 'why' behind them. This isn't just inefficient - it's how good strategy dies.
This creates the founder's impossible dilemma: delegate without context and watch decisions drift from your strategic vision, or stay involved in everything and become the bottleneck that slows down the entire organization. Neither approach scales.
What if you could stay eyes-on and course-correct without becoming the bottleneck or burning yourself out?
This is why "Founder Mode" isn't about micromanagement - it's about scaling your strategic context. Orgtools helps you do this systematically. Blueprints codify your vision to guide every decision. Key Activities clarify ownership so the right people are involved. And a live Decision feed gives you real-time awareness, letting you course-correct with context, not just intuition.
Scale your decision-making influence, not your calendar.
