Founder Alignment Field Guide
A structured conversation to have together — out loud, in one room — before our first session. Not a test of whether you're a good or bad team. A way to build the first honest conversation infrastructure for your partnership.
How to use this
- Do this together, in one sitting — ideally with one laptop on the table.
- For each section, take a quiet minute to think individually first, answering from your own perspective. Then discuss as a group.
- Capture the group's discussion in the notes box — not separate answers. One shared record.
- The goal is not to agree quickly. The goal is to understand where each of you is coming from.
- At the end, fill the "Bring to your first session" card and export it.
