Business Mentor · Founders
A business mentor who works on the business, not just the founder
A business mentor gives a founder judgment borrowed from experience. It works when the mentor has run the same kind of problem and will say plainly which decisions should no longer be yours. The Growth Coach HK does this one to one, for founder-led companies of roughly 50 to 200 employees.
Most founders looking for a mentor already have someone to talk to about the hard weeks. A peer, a former boss, an investor. What is harder to find is someone who will look at the decisions still routing through you and say plainly which ones should not be.
That takes having sat on the other side of the same problems. Jerald Lee spent 22 years in commercial leadership, sales and strategy, nearly 13 of them at Google across Asia Pacific as Country Lead for Google Ads.
The stage this is built for is roughly 50 to 200 employees. Large enough that the founder can no longer hold everything, small enough that they still do.
How it works: a free 30-minute fit call, then the Growth Review (USD 500, 90 minutes), then ongoing mentoring if it earns its place, scoped to what the diagnostic found.
What does a business mentor for founders actually do? This version starts with a paid 90-minute Growth Review that names the specific constraint holding the business flat, in writing. Anything after that is scoped to that constraint rather than offered as general advice.
Is this the same as a peer mentoring group? No. A peer group trades experience across founders in different businesses, and the value is the room. This is one to one and about your business specifically, with an operating and commercial background behind it rather than shared anecdotes.
What qualifies someone to mentor a founder-CEO? Having carried the same decisions. Jerald Lee ran commercial teams at Google across Asia Pacific for nearly 13 years, interviewed more than 400 candidates for sales and leadership roles, and is an INSEAD-certified executive coach with more than 1,500 coaching hours.
Who is it built for? Founder-CEOs of founder-led businesses with roughly 50 to 200 employees, at the stage where the founder is still the bottleneck for decisions across the company. Not enterprise programs, not pre-revenue founders.
What does it cost, and how do I start? USD 500 for the Growth Review, the only published price. Anything beyond it is scoped afterward. Start with a free 30-minute fit call, which exists to answer whether this helps before any money changes hands.
