What is the Strategic Execution for Technical Founders course about?

You've built something with real momentum. But as the team grows, priorities scatter. Roadmaps stall. Stakeholders pull in different directions. You're spending more time unblocking progress than driving it. The systems that worked at 10 people don’t scale to 50. You need a framework that respects technical depth while accelerating delivery, without adding bureaucracy.
