Marcy Swenson and Dale Larson are executive coaches who work with startup founders and entrepreneurs. They are certified and credentialed coaches who’ve been working full time with this specialty for ten years, and were among the first to do so. They’ve helped hundreds of clients, including some of the hottest names in Silicon Valley, supported them from concept to profitability, through IPOs and acquisitions as well as billions in venture funding raised. Their clients work with more ease and happiness yet are more effective and higher performing as leaders and in the rest of their lives.

Now a full-time executive coach to mostly venture-backed tech startup CEOs, he helps high-performing leaders to be happier and more successful in all aspects of their work and life, continuing to learn and grow while they build outstanding products, teams and businesses.
