CEO Coach with 15+ years of venture scaling experience
I help the world’s top investors and venture-backed CEOs scale themselves so they can scale their businesses.
COACHING FOR STARTUP FOUNDERS, INVESTORS, OUTLIERS
Make better decisons
Understand your blind spots, garner trust across stakeholders, and execute with speed what you’d otherwise put off.
Lead with confidence
A founder’s job isn’t to put out fires, it’s to build fire stations. Discover how to get accountability from your team.
Learn from experience
See around corners and avoid common startup traps with a thought partner who has been in your seat before.
Scale faster, together
It doesn’t have to be lonely at the top. Talk through problems in a safe space and reach your goals faster.
A startup only executes as well as its CEO.
Unfortunately, when you start scaling, support for you as the founder massively declines — there are fewer founders in your situation and quality content is hard to find.
That’s why scale-up founders from Accel, Index, and LocalGlobe choose me as their coach. I have hands-on experience in building venture-backed companies for 15+ years. I can help CEOs by challenging their thinking and holding them accountable for swift and decisive action.

Founders words
About Asher
What I love about coaching is I can offer founders the practical & emotional support I wish I had when I was building my companies.
Prior to becoming a coach, I’ve scaled three venture-backed startups and had two exits. I’ve raised over $150 million of capital from angels, VC, crowdfunding, and banks.
In 2017, I was named Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year and in 2020 was entered into the Entrepreneurs Hall of Fame. Most recently I founded Uncapped, a banking service for startups, backed by Lakestar, Mouro Capital (Santander), GFC, Whitestar and Seedcamp.
I've also shut down a company, experienced burnout, lost loved ones, and overcome many other challenges in life and business. I've also coached many people through life-changing experiences including some of the most talented CEOs and investors in the world.
I’d love to support you on your journey. Connect with me on LinkedIn
