Will’s Startup Founders Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Executive
I built a startup from scratch, solo, through to launch. I made mistakes and learned a lot, but I wish I'd had someone to help me navigate the mental side of it. Spinning multiple plates day after day is exhausting. The decisions never stop, the pressure doesn't let up, and there's rarely anyone in your corner who genuinely understands what that feels like. Having a voice of reason to help manage workload, stress and priorities would have been invaluable. That's exactly what I offer now. Although I primarily work with financial traders, the overlap is significant. Both worlds demand the same thing, showing up and performing, day after day, regardless of what yesterday looked like.

About Will
I spent 20 years trading fixed income and equity futures. The edge that kept me in the game wasn't a setup, it was how I managed myself. I coach traders who already know how to trade and still get in their own way. The ones who size up after a win, cut winners short, revenge trade after a loss, or abandon their process when it matters most. If that sounds familiar, I can help. Not with strategy, with the mental side that nobody teaches you.
Why do I coach?
After 20 years trading bond futures, I learned that the edge that matters most isn't technical. It's how you manage yourself under pressure. I coach now because I wish someone had helped me understand that earlier in my career. I work with traders and portfolio managers who already have the skill, they just need someone who's been in the chair to help them get out of their own way.
