How it works
When you’re a solopreneur or founder, the weight of every decision rests on you. That’s exhausting, and it can leave you feeling stuck, uncertain, or isolated.
Having a partner changes that.
Together we create space for clarity and confidence so you can make decisions you’re proud of, lead in a way that lights you up, and unlock the future you’ve always imagined.
I’ll provide perspective through challenges, point out blindspots, help you with major decisions, and guide you through where your biggest growth opportunity and challenge might be hiding.
How It Works (Tailored to You):
Groundwork Session:
Start with a 90-minute deep dive to map your biggest challenges, opportunities, and goals.
We’ll clarify your vision, define your non-negotiables, and set the tone for our work.
Weekly Strategic Alignment Calls:
Regular calls focused on key opportunities—negotiations, exit planning, team communication, and creative vision.
Each session blends strategy with personal grounding to keep you aligned and moving forward.
Asynchronous Access for Real-Time Wins:
On-demand feedback and support for your most pressing challenges.
From pitch decks to tough team conversations, I’m here when it matters.
Biannual Offsite Intensives:
Two in-person sessions a year designed to go deep—whether it’s crafting a long-term vision, navigating personal breakthroughs, or aligning your business with your values.
These aren’t just meetings; they’re experiences that rewire and transform how you think and lead.
Leadership Transformation Framework:
You’ll gain a tailored structure for building better systems, fostering a connected team, and growing into the leader your business needs.
Practical tools for better decision-making and a more fulfilling work-life balance.

David helps create an environment that can move as fast or as slow as needed to focus on the right conversations without bringing his own perspective or bias into the process. His work is as a sherpa helping create the space for me to work out concepts and connect the dots.

"Since I started working with David, my revenues have increased about 50% and I’ve taken the time I spent on the business down 30%, which I never thought would be possible.
He's so good at helping you think through your work, do it intelligently, and helping me arrive at insights or conclusions on my own.

“He (David) truly understands the challenges and what it's like being a founder.
Together we not only pinpointed the source of a given issue, but he led me to find a path to a solution.
Telling my personal story and my brand's narrative with clarity and confidence was why I first sought out David as a coach.
What I found instead is something much greater than what I'd anticipated—feeling empowered as a founder, allowing me to lean into my intuition.
David created a space for me where I could be utterly honest, without any filters. “

"He’s the reason my company still exists + is bigger than ever even though I haven’t worked on it full-time in years.
He coached me and improved my business in countless ways, super thoughtful in business and life."escription
Matthew Jung, CEO Last Crumb, Venture Fund Partner, Owner of GOODONYA orgnaic.
“David doesn’t just tell you what to do, he helps you unlock who you are.
I’ve been working with David for years now; first as a Founder, CEO, and then as an Investor.”
Meet Your New “Business Partner”
Maybe you’ve got co-founders, a team, investors, friends, a therapist, and family… none of which can totally understand the unique challenges your are facing.
Founders & CEO’s hire me as part business partner, part-confidant, and fully present strategist to customize and tailor recommendations with your best interests in mind. I’m here to help you and your business be great.*
*Based on whatever great means for you.
My Bio:
Hey, I’m David Sherry. I founded and bootstrapped a visual trend company called Death to Stock which is used by brands like Spotify, Squarespace, Bumble, and BBDO.
Starting in Columbus, OH, and working remotely since 2013, I built a 500k subscriber newsletter, hosted events around the country, and hired artists around the world from Thailand to Berlin, Auckland, and Miami. In 2016 I moved to Santa Monica, California, and in 2019 I brought on an NZ-based partner to buy of majority stake in the business which I now sit in on as an advisor.
As a coach, strategist, and advisor, I’ve worked to help 50+ founders and CEOs from viral E-commerce companies to disruptive fintechs, crypto, to private equity fund partners, and lifestyle business owners transform their business and their lifestyle.

ADRIAN ALFIERI, FOUNDER OF VERBATIM
“There's a big difference between pinging your founder friends and having someone dedicated to your business.
David became much more than a coach. He became a right-hand person who was part of the business, which is really rare.”
JENNIE YOON, FOUNDER & CEO KINN JEWELRY
