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 Agreements

    We'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

    Listen to the recording of this talk.

  • 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

    Listen to the recording of this talk.

“Nicki is an absolute delight to work with.

From creativity to integrity, and as an expert in all things Co-Founder partnerships, it's been a pleasure so far Nicki... more to come!”

Amber Nasir, Vestd

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…)
