The Founder-to-CEO Sprint

From scrappy founder to strategic CEO in 90 days.

A 90-day implementation program for founders in Founder Puberty — that awkward, critical stage where the company has outgrown how you built it, but you haven't yet outgrown who you were when you built it. Led by Mark Rampolla, using the exact tools and shifts he used to get through it at ZICO — twice — combined with what he's learned from thousands of founders on the other side of the table.

Limited to 20 founders per cohort. No spam. Just the signal.

12 Weeks. 4 Phases.

One tool, one action, every week. Built for impact and minimum 5x ROI.

Direct Access to Mark

Small cohort with 1-on-1 support. Not a course. Not a mastermind. A tactical sprint.

AI-Powered Tools

SuperQ assessment, personalized frameworks, Data No Drama dashboard. Built in, not bolted on.

The Reality

Everybody's congratulating you.
Nobody's helping you.

You've built something real. People say "you're crushing it" at every dinner, every conference, every LinkedIn comment. And you appreciate it — you've worked hard. But inside, it's a battle. And there are very few people in your life you can actually say that to.

How you navigate this stage decides what kind of company you end up running — and the role you play in its future. The founders who come through it stronger unlock the next decade of growth, the capital to back it, and the life that comes with it.

The founders who don't go one of three ways: they end up running a bigger version of the same trap. They get replaced once the people around them realize the business needs a CEO the founder hasn't become. Or the business doesn't survive the next wave of challenges.

"Institutional capital doesn't back founders. It backs CEOs. What we love to back is the rare founder who has made that transition."

The Other Side

What changes when you make the jump.

You Stop Performing and Start Leading

The comparisons fade. Impostor syndrome quiets down. You're not managing a perception anymore. You're showing up as you — present, grounded, in full.

Your Team Steps Up

Not because you hired better people — but because you finally gave them the clarity and room to lead. The same people who waited for your approval start owning outcomes.

Your Results Improve

Better outcomes with more ease. Growth accelerates. Profits grow. Your decision-making gets sharper. The ceiling lifts.

Your Business Becomes Backable

You're no longer the risk factor — you're the multiplier. Your valuation goes up. Your options multiply. The conversation with capital is entirely different.

You Get Your Life Back

You take the vacation and nothing breaks. You show up for the people who matter most. From success on paper to a life that actually feels successful.

From Playing Small to Playing Big

From nice salary to generational wealth. From a successful business to a successful life. On your terms.

You didn't build this to be stuck in it.
