At Fort Light, we coach managers and help startups get the people piece right. People management is hard in general –– and it can be even harder at a startup, where change and speed can feel like the only constants. Startup manager roles are high stakes (and can be high stress!) but often lack the support or role modeling that ambitious managers need to succeed. 

Managers come to us to learn the mindset and skills they need to be great leaders - and to find more ease, learning and fun in their jobs. In our group coaching program, managers connect with peers at other companies, learn from expert coaches, and practice real challenges. 

We support managers at all levels, whether they are just starting out or are experienced leaders looking to hone their craft, and across all roles and functions at the company. 

We've trained over 400 managers from 50+ top startups, including Webflow, Guild Education, Vercel, Breather, NoRedInk, Redbubble, Hipcamp, Scratchpad and Turo.

If you're curious to learn more, reach out to us and we'll be delighted to connect.
