Hi there, I’m Kenneth Berger.

The founders who last aren't the ones who push hardest. They're the ones who find a pace they can sustain.

I help frustrated founders at scaling startups set a sustainable pace and reignite their love for their work. It’s the only way to build a business that lasts.

Most founders set an unsustainable pace because they believe they have no choice. It works, for a while! Then the pace burns them out, and they're done. I know because I lived it, as an a16z-backed founder and early product leader at Slack.

You do have a choice. I help startup founders and executives master the art of leading with intention before they reach a breaking point: so they can pursue their wildest ambitions at a sustainable pace. I've coached leaders at 70+ startups and spent 20+ years in tech as a founder, operator, and coach.


  1. I help you find a sustainable pace by revealing the choices that keep you stuck.
  2. I reignite your love for the work by reorienting what you do around a purpose that matters.
  3. I challenge you to build a business that lasts by mastering your craft through continuous experimentation.

Curious how it all works? Learn more about me and my coaching. Are you a startup founder or exec interested in working with me 1:1? Let’s talk.
