Private Advisory + On-Site Immersion for Hospitality Founders Who Refuse to Build on Guesswork
We transform hospitality concepts into scalable, profitable enterprises—through governance, systems, and disciplined execution.
Founders Elevate is our highest-intensity program. It exists for one reason:
hospitality doesn’t forgive improvisation. A great concept can still fail with weak financial architecture, inconsistent operations, poor standards, and untrained leadership.
This is not “consulting on calls.”
This is structured decision governance + operational immersion—designed to protect your investment and accelerate performance.
Why This Program Exists
In hospitality, the most expensive mistakes are rarely dramatic. They are silent:
- margins leaking every shift
- staffing decisions that compound chaos
- inconsistent standards that destroy reputation
- “opening momentum” followed by operational collapse
- founder dependence that prevents scale
Our job is to stop that cycle early—by building the systems and governance that make the business durable.
Institutional Decision Governance
No Improvisation. No Isolated Opinion. No Reactive Advice.
Every client input is processed through an internal governance framework to ensure consistency, legal clarity, and advisory responsibility:
- Strategic and operational analysis using proprietary methodologies
- Structured internal review by senior advisors
- Validation of scope, coherence, and accountability
- Alignment with governance, compliance, and risk principles
We do not deliver improvised guidance.
We deliver recommendations that withstand pressure—because they are built through method, experience, and collective strategic reasoning.
The Five Non-Negotiable Phases
And What We Govern in Each
1) Strategic Concept & Business Foundations
Positioning, value proposition, target audience, and risk boundaries—so the business is designed intentionally, not emotionally.
2) Business Model & Financial Architecture
Cost structure, margin model, capacity logic, and decision criteria—so you avoid early-stage structural financial failure.
3) Operational Systems & SOP Architecture
Standards, routines, and control systems—turning a concept into a replicable, measurable, sustainable operation.
4) Team Formation, Training & Leadership Alignment
Training the brigade and aligning leadership behaviors—so execution is consistent and not personality-dependent.
5) Opening, Market Entry & Stabilization
Support during the highest-risk window—closing gaps, reinforcing standards, and stabilizing performance under real operating pressure.
On-Site Advisory & Operational Immersion
Up to 15 Days In-Person — Inside Your Operation
Founders Elevate includes up to 15 days of direct on-site immersion, scheduled according to your stage and complexity.
During the on-site period, we work inside your operation to support:
- pre-opening preparation and readiness
- team/brigade training and performance discipline
- SOP implementation and consolidation
- live-service supervision and real-time correction
- leadership alignment under real operating conditions
Because in hospitality, the truth shows up during service—not in meetings.
One Integrated Advisory Ecosystem
Not Separate Plans. One Controlled Architecture.
Enrollment includes full access to our advisory layers, integrated under a single strategic governance model:
- continuous strategic + operational analysis
- internal senior review and validation
- private executive video briefings
- direct access to the assigned consultant
- 24/7 Consulting AI as an operational intelligence layer
Founders Elevate doesn’t replace our other plans—
it governs, integrates, and amplifies them. One architecture. One standard. One direction.
What You Are Actually Buying
Let’s be direct: you’re not paying for “time.”
You’re paying for risk protection, system design, and executive-grade access.
This investment reflects:
- senior advisory governance (accountability + validation)
- operational system architecture (SOPs, standards, routines, controls)
- in-person immersion (up to 15 days inside the operation)
- leadership alignment under real operating pressure
- continuous intelligence to prevent drift and decision noise
- a structured advisory framework that protects both parties legally and operationally
Most founders spend far more than this on the wrong hires, poor systems, margin leakage, reworks, delayed openings, or avoidable instability.
Founders Elevate is designed to cost less than your mistakes.
Governance, Scope & Legal Responsibility
To preserve institutional integrity and legal clarity:
- we do not replace internal executive roles
- we do not execute operations on behalf of the client
- we do not assume final decision-making authority
- implementation responsibility remains with the client
This ensures predictability, protection, and contractual clarity for all parties.
Commercial Terms
- Minimum engagement: 3 months
- Monthly investment: €8,500
- Minimum commitment: €25,500
- Travel, accommodation, and related expenses for on-site advisory are billed separately.
- Final terms are confirmed after an initial strategic consultation, where scope, stage, and advisory intensity are formally aligned.
- Compensation and contracting are structured in accordance with Dutch law (Netherlands).
Admission, Verification & Availability
This program runs on an application basis due to:
- on-site involvement
- internal governance validation
- limited senior capacity
Not all applicants are accepted.
Capacity is intentionally restricted to protect depth, confidentiality, and execution excellence.
Final Positioning
Founders Elevate is not for founders who want speed without structure.
It’s for those who demand:
method before momentum, governance before growth, and systems before scale.
If you are building a hospitality business that must perform under pressure—and endure—this is where we begin.
