CEO and Executive Coach for Startup Founders Building at Scale

I'm Sabrina Wang. I provide executive coaching for startup founders from seed through Series C who are scaling fast but starting to feel the weight of it.

You've raised the money. Built the team. Hit the milestones.

So why does it feel harder than it should?

You're stuck in the weeds, firefighting instead of leading. Your team isn't operating at the level you need. You're exhausted, and the tradeoff between work and life is starting to feel unsustainable.

You've read the books. Hired the advisors. But something's still missing.

Here's what I've learned coaching dozens of founders: The problem isn't your strategy. It's that you're running faster than your nervous system can handle.

What Makes This Different

Most executive coaches will help you optimize your calendar and give better feedback.

I do that too. But I also help you regulate the stress that comes with high-stakes decisions, build the capacity to lead without burning out, and reconnect with the energy that made you start this in the first place.

My background:

  • Former Head of Coaching at Mochary Method (coaching practice for CEOs of Reddit, OpenAI, Coinbase)
  • 10 years of training in meditation, nervous system regulation, and somatic work
  • Product at Headspace, building products for 1M+ users
  • I've navigated my own chronic illness, which taught me more about stress, energy, and resilience than any book

What this means for you:

I see patterns fast. I understand both the tactical (hiring, OKRs, team dynamics) and the internal (why you're stuck, what's draining you, how to get your energy back).

Why Founders Come To Coaching

Startup leadership is different. You're moving faster, with less certainty, and higher stakes than ever.

Whether you're at pre-seed or Series A making your first exec hires, Series B building out your leadership team, or Series C navigating a potential acquisition, you need someone who understands the weight of what you're carrying.

CEO coaching isn't about fixing you. It's about having space to think clearly when everything around you is moving too fast.

How I Work With Founders and Execs

I work with clients in phases, typically 6 months per engagement. Some founders work with me once for 1-2 years, stacking multiple engagements. Others come back for years when they hit new inflection points.

Every engagement is different, but here are some common focus areas:

Hiring & Team Building

  • Making critical exec hires (and knowing when NOT to hire - one client saved months by deciding not to hire a COO after we mapped out what the company actually needed)
  • Building high-performing leadership teams
  • Learning to coach your team instead of doing their work

Strategic Clarity

  • Moving from constant reactivity to planning 18-36 months out
  • Learning to say no and protect time for strategic thinking
  • Making high-stakes decisions with confidence

Energy & Capacity

  • Regulating your nervous system so you can handle the pressure without burning out
  • Delegating effectively so you're not stuck in execution mode
  • Finding joy and creativity in your work again

Cofounder Dynamics

  • Navigating major decisions together
  • Building trust that can handle hard conversations
  • Aligning on vision when you're in different places

Who This Is For

You're likely a good fit if:

  • You're a CEO, CTO, or cofounder of a pre-seed, Series A, B, or C company looking for executive coaching. Or you bootstrapped with 20+ employees and meaningful revenue
  • You're not satisfied with how you or your team are operating
  • You care about doing things the right way - high performance AND treating people well
  • You're open to feedback and want to be challenged
  • You've done some personal development work before (therapy, coaching, leadership training)

You're probably not a good fit if:

  • You're looking for quick fixes or tactical advice only
  • You want someone to tell you exactly what to do
  • You're not willing to look at your own patterns and blind spots
  • You're earlier than seed stage or don't have the budget for ongoing coaching

What Happens Next

Step 1: Application

Fill out a brief form so I can understand where you are and what you're working on.

Step 2: Intro Session

If it seems like a potential fit, we'll schedule a complimentary coaching session. You'll get real value from this call - clarity on your biggest challenge and concrete next steps.

Step 3: Decide Together

After the session, we'll both decide if we want to work together. I only take on clients when I'm confident we can create meaningful impact together.

A Note on Pricing & Commitment

Coaching typically runs $3,500-6,000/month. Engagements start at six months.

I also offer a sliding scale for women and underrepresented founders who are building something meaningful.

If you're not sure if the investment makes sense for where you are, mention that in your application, and we can discuss it.
