For Programs
Give your cohort founders the infrastructure to work through partnership dynamics before they become permanent problems.
By the time conflict is visible, it’s usually late
Equity is already split. Roles are assumed. Tension has compounded. Most programs don’t have a tool for the relational infrastructure holding the founding team together — not because they don’t care, but because one hasn’t existed.
Founders don’t have language for what’s breaking down
They feel the friction before they can name it. Without language, they can’t act on it. The patterns that end partnerships — unequal commitment, values drift, ownership ambiguity — are predictable. They just go unnamed until it’s too late.
Accelerators don’t fix team dynamics
From 23 founder interviews: “They don’t want to mess up the chemistry.” Programs cover traction, fundraising, product. The relational work is largely assumed — and the assumption is expensive.
Prevention has to happen before the accelerator stage
By the time a team is in your cohort, the patterns are already forming. The highest-value intervention window is pre-seed to seed — exactly where most of your cohort founders are.
The research behind this
These patterns come from 23 in-depth founder interviews and 20+ co-founder breakup case studies — teams across siblings, spouses, friends, and strangers, at every funding stage. The full research is available as a paid publication.
Read the Casebook and Insights Summary →Kit 1 — Founder Profile & Direction
Solo founder assessment. Working style, decision-making profile, blind spots, and stress response patterns. The foundation before any partnership conversation. $149 per founder.
Kit 2 — Co-Founder Alignment System
Two-founder assessment across 7 dimensions. Generates a pattern report, Conversation Guide with flagged dimension prompts, a Continue / Reset / Dissolve decision framework, and a pre-filled operating agreement. $199 per team.
Facilitation artifacts, not verdicts
Reports are inputs to conversations, not conclusions. Every output gives founders language to examine their own dynamic — not a system telling them what to do. Designed to be used alongside your existing programming.
Built on pattern data, not hypotheses
The 7 dimensions, decision rights framework, and conflict archetypes are drawn directly from what broke real partnerships. The system draws on 23 founder interviews and 20+ co-founder breakup case studies. Full research available here →

How it works
Once your application is approved, you receive a dedicated discount code to share with your cohort. Founders redeem it directly at kits.alterrell.com. No invoicing, no bulk purchasing — each founder transacts individually.
What this is not
This is not a coaching engagement, a workshop, or a speaker booking. It’s a self-serve tool your founders use on their own time. If you’re looking for a facilitated workshop, apply and we can discuss — Visible Hands has already requested one.
Mission-driven venture?
Additional access pricing available for social impact cohorts. Mention it in your application.
Three questions. We review every application and respond personally — no automated funnels.
We’re selective about program partnerships. If there’s a fit, we’ll follow up directly to discuss next steps.
