Space to think.
Clarity to move forward.
Building a business brings decisions you don’t have to work through alone.
I coach and mentor founders, helping you work out what matters, develop as a leader and decide what to do next. I bring experience from building and exiting two businesses, along with a direct and compassionate approach.
Where I can help
Deciding priorities
When everything feels urgent, it’s hard to step back. We work through what needs your attention, what can wait and which decisions will make the biggest difference.
Developing as a leader
As your business grows, your role changes. We explore how you lead, what still depends on you and how to give others the confidence and ownership to move things forward.
Preparing for investment
Raising investment starts well before the pitch. We examine your growth plans, the case for funding and what you need to prepare, so you can approach investor conversations with greater clarity.
Thinking through an exit
An exit is a business decision and a personal one. We make space to consider your options, what you want next and how to prepare for a decision that feels right for you.
Experience of building businesses.
Space to think about yours.
I’m Duncan Knight. I’ve built and exited two technology businesses and coached and mentored hundreds of founders. My work with founders has contributed to raising £55m+ in investment.
I bring that commercial experience alongside an understanding of the pressure founders put on themselves. My approach is direct and compassionate, with room to talk honestly about both the business and the person leading it.
