yep, i do this for yc!

just like the rest of yc, taking care of yourself and your cofounder relationship is DIY but we offers resources to help. i'm an executive coach (with a specialty in startup founders) and our founders book office hours with me when they need support around managing stress/anxiety, troubleshooting conflict in difficult relationships (with cofounders, investors, loved ones, etc), communicating effectively, and generally thriving on the roller coaster of startup founderdom.

i also provide referrals to therapists and coaches when necessary. it depends on what the founder's looking for and what they need.

i'm happy to answer any other questions you have about this.

Hi, I am so incredibly interested in this. I always liked the idea of being an executive coach, it seems so fascinating. And the idea of doing that for YC founders sounds awesome!

My first thought after reading this was that it may be kind of like being a resident advisor. I was an RA for Freshman in undergrad, and found it very rewarding helping students make the transition to a college lifestyle. Although this has a bit higher stakes, working with young founders likely isn't very fundamentally different.

How do I get your job?
