Frequently asked questions

Questions about co-founder as a service

  • What is co-founder as a service?
    Co-founder as a service is mentoring where you make the decisions and an experienced entrepreneur keeps you sharp, the way a co-founder would. At Go Delphi, Wouter Glaser does this from Amsterdam, for founders across the Netherlands and Belgium.
  • Which programs are there?
    There are three programs. Hermes consists of quarterly brainstorm sessions. Athena consists of monthly sessions for depth and results. Apollo consists of eight hours of strategic time per quarter, split across two sessions, plus ninety minutes of mentoring every month.
  • Who is co-founder as a service for?
    For founders of companies between 1 and 40 FTE who want to scale but lack structure. The type of company matters less than the founder.
  • What happens in a session?
    We work on strategy, structure and the decisions you have to make as a founder. Every quarter we set a handful of concrete priorities, called rocks. I come back to them in every session that follows.
  • How long does a program last?
    Six months to a year on average. Some clients have been with me for three years. You can scale up or down every quarter.
  • What does co-founder as a service cost?
    Programs run from 450 to 1,700 euros per month. The amount depends on the program, the size of your company and the intensity. You can scale up or down every quarter.
  • What does a program deliver?
    The best outcome is founder independence: a business that no longer depends on you for everything. There are concrete numbers too. One company went from minus five percent to twenty percent EBITDA in six months.
  • How does a program start?
    Every program starts with meeting in person. We both look at whether there is a click. If it does not click, I will not start a program.
  • Is co-founder as a service the same as business coaching?
    There is overlap. Both give you personal, one-on-one guidance. The difference is who decides the answer. With coaching, you hear how someone else would handle it. Here, you make the decision and I hold you to it.
  • How much experience does Go Delphi have?
    Go Delphi has worked with 135 companies so far. Wouter Glaser founded seven companies, Go Delphi included, and sold three of them.
  • Which methods does Go Delphi use?
    The methods are Scaling Up, the Rockefeller Habits, Good to Great and 10x Is Easier Than 2x. A program consists of one-on-one sessions with the founder, plus sessions with the management team where there is one.
