About

You’re a Seed / Series A CEO. You just closed a round, or you're getting close. And you sense that what got you here won't be enough for what comes next. Your board expects results. Your team is growing. Decisions are getting more complex. The adrenaline of the raise is gone — and the pressure isn't. That's where most founders start pulling on the rope without realizing it. My work isn't to teach you how to raise, or how to scale. It's to create the conditions where you stay lucid, grounded, and ambitious — whatever the pressure of the moment. During the raise. In the scale. With your board. Through a pivot. All the way to exit. What makes my approach unique: I've lived this from the inside — as a VC at XAnge, CFO at Scality, fundraising advisor, and entrepreneur. 15+ years alongside CEOs in hypergrowth, including 9 years in the US. I've witnessed the silent misalignments. The brilliant founders burning out. Losing their mojo exactly when they need it most. That's what drove me to explore the human side of entrepreneurship. My work is built on 4 pillars: → Regulation & energy — your leadership starts with your internal state → Strategic clarity — under pressure, complexity explodes → Building the right circle — what are you saying yes to when you say no? → Execution & scale — where the real stakes begin I worked alongside 50+ founders, including CEOs from Scality, Ivalua, Cafeyn, Nuxeo, Naskeo, Nexway, World Tree, White Leaf Provisions, Creamco. Ready to talk? → 30 minutes to understand what you're navigating and identify your levers. https://calendly.com/fannycorpetcoaching/30min
