What is the Scaling Founder-Led Teams course about?

Founder-led momentum fades when scaling hits chaos. Processes get bloated. Teams lose autonomy. What worked with five people fails at fifteen. You're expected to systematize without stifling what made the team great. Most leaders either over-structure or under-invest, both kill velocity. You need a third way: systems that amplify, not replace, human insight.
