THE CO-FOUNDER FILES
A 3 part series of talks I ran in partnership with Vestd, covering what you need to know as a Co-Founder at various stages of business.
We also created bespoke, co-branded resources and offered tailored, 1:1 follow up support.

Entering into a Co-Founder partnership is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make, so here's the 101 on what you need to consider.
This talk covered:
- How to know if a potential Co-Founder is the right fit
- The questions to ask each other before you commit as Co-Founders
- Co-Founder ‘Prenups’ and AgreementsWe're planning to run this talk again, so drop me a message if you'd like to join.
-
As Co-Founders there's important work to do to ensure your PARTNERSHIP attracts and nurtures the right talent. And just because you're a Founder, doesn't mean you're a leader.
This talk covered:
- Why you need a tight partnership before you build a team
- The Ownership Effect and share schemes
- The impact of your partnership on your team -
Investors heavily analyse the strength of your partnership when assessing investment opportunities. So not only do you need to ensure you’re a tight team, you want to think about how you present yourselves as THE team they want to invest in.
This talk covered:
- The fundraising roadmap
- Building a partnership that attracts investors
- How to present your Co-Founder partnership
This is my bespoke workshop on how to effectively scale a Co-Founder partnership.
65% of high potential startups fail due to Co-Founder fallout (Harvard Business School), and this session is about building a strategy for your partnership that will allow you to beat those odds.
The content is tailored depending on the audience, but this is the rough agenda:
The foundations of a thriving partnership using my own unique framework
Why a partnership MOT is critical as you scale
The top tensions I see between partners at scale stage
What to review and refine in your partnership as you scale
My expert tips and practices to embed into your dynamic and working structure
“Nicki was absolutely fantastic! Her knowledge came across and she delivered a very effective, interactive and engaging session.
I wouldn't hesitate to have Nicki deliver another masterclass for us again in future.”

MY BIO
MY BIO
Nicki is a coach for Co-Founders. An expert on the most critical asset in a business: the Co-Founder partnership.
Nicki unites business partners by building an aligned vision and a clear plan for growth, working to resolve tension and master communication. She also coaches people navigating their way in or out of a business partnership. Helping Founders feel informed and confident about such an important process.
So many businesses fail or fall short because their partnership isn’t effective, and Nicki is on a mission to change that.
Nicki works directly with clients as well as hosting workshops for the likes of Bournemouth University, LABS, Time Out and more. She’s also a speaker, panelist and soon to be podcast host.
Alongside her coaching, Nicki is the Co-Founder of branding agency LUNA + LION, and delivers strategy, identity and design for lifestyle brands. She is also in the process of launching a coffee infused hot sauce business (because why not…)
