You’re building a business, but:

We built this for you — the gritty, courageous builder trying to make sense of it all.

  • You’re stuck in the messy middle — between idea and execution

  • You’re overwhelmed by advice, frameworks, and jargon

  • You want real traction — not just motivational quotes

What the Experts Say

“At Black Nova, we see thousands of founders every year — and too many fall into the same traps: unclear focus, shaky execution, and a flood of theory with no traction. EPIC cuts through all of that. It’s real, grounded, and built by someone who’s walked the hard road. We recommend it to our portfolio founders because it helps them grow not just their startups, but themselves as leaders. It’s the rare kind of resource that moves the needle.”

Matthew Browne, Managing Partner at Black Nova VC

What You’ll Get:

  • 🔍 Clarity over Chaos

    Get step-by-step guidance on what matters right now — and what doesn’t.

    We don’t teach everything — just the right things in the right order. No overwhelm. No second-guessing. Just clear priorities and focused momentum to help you move forward with confidence.

  • 🛠️ Tools You’ll Actually Use

    Worksheets, checklists, and reflection prompts — no theory dumps, no filler videos.

    You’re busy building. That’s why every course gives you practical tools you can apply the same day — so you’re not just learning, you’re executing.

What You’ll Learn

Organized into 5 founder-tested pillars:

  • 1. Startup Foundations

    Close the execution gap by aligning your vision, values, and velocity — and grow yourself as fast as your business through disciplined founder fitness.

  • 2. Business Design & Validation

    Validate the customer problem before building, then launch lean, test fast, and iterate smart to avoid wasting time and money.

  • 3. Finance & Fundraising

    Learn when to bootstrap, when to raise, and how to master financial fundamentals like cash flow, cap tables, and investor-proof metrics.

  • 4. Sales & Growth

    Build a sales system that feels natural — not sleazy — and apply growth strategies that help you scale without breaking your business.

  • 5. Leadership & Teams

    Hire right the first time and lead with clarity, not chaos — so you show up as the founder your team actually needs.
