      Hey, I'm Dave Kashen!

      I've spent the past 17+ years coaching hundreds of startup founders – from first-time CEOs to the people behind Instagram, Udemy, Jet, Coinbase, Solana and many more.

      My clients have created over $100 billion in value and impacted more than 1 billion lives.

      Before coaching, I was a founder myself: YC-backed with two successful exits. I started at Goldman Sachs, earned my MBA from Stanford, and have been recognized as one of Silicon Valley's top CEO coaches.

      I know what it's like to build under pressure. That’s why I help founders calm the internal storm, develop unshakeable clarity, and transform into the kind of leader capable of scaling with ease.
