There’s no simple guide to navigating difficult entrepreneurial challenges…but there’s Knomaad for founder/executive advice

Welcome to Knomaad, where we believe that behind every successful startup is a strong foundation built on strategic conversations, insightful problem-solving, and expert business advice. Often these are discussions that founders cannot share with their teams, investors or board, as they involve reflecting on executive indecision, overcoming imposter syndrome or resolving internal co-founder conflicts. We understand the challenges and hurdles faced by founders on their entrepreneurial journey, and we are here to provide you with the dedicated support you need to thrive.
