Alexander Willard โ Co-Founder
It all started when I was 5 years old with my dad's clock. ๐ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ข ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ ๐ค๐ถ๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด ๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ญ๐ฅ... I took it apart. How does it work? Whatโs inside? Can I make it go faster? (Time hack!?) Dad was not happy... the clock was in 37 parts, and never made whole again. ๐๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ. By 14 years of age, I was working with local businesses and had my own. Selling games at the market and repairing consoles. Like You, I was always interested in entrepreneurship. I even had a good affiliate marketing gig on clothing and mobile phones at that age. I was the โgo-toโ guy. ๐๐ฎ๐๐-๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐: - Coached 150+ clients- Supported 30+ start-ups and SMEs from idea creation to cash flow - Trained hundreds of coaches, helping thousands of clients in Business & Employment - Helped a Business Grow From 2000 to 4000+ Employees Within 2 Years - Optimised business processes, adding ยฃ100,000โs to millions in revenue But I got tired of the corporate bullshit and red tape. So in 2024, I started MSA with one mission - โ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐. Worked with some amazing first time founders, got some great results. Until... I decided I need a change of scenery, so I went for a trip around Asia, only working part-time with past clients across the globe. Until I decided it's time to get back to work, but this time make a real impact, much larger than previously. After more than a thousand founder conversations, I realised that networking is broken and social media with AI spam is getting worse than ever. So I decided to create a change, and as such the idea of Founderstree, a networking platform built exclusively for founders, to build real connections, was born. Currently in beta and open launch for Q1 2026. If you want to find out more, DM. Also, if you need a business problem solved - say Hello in DM's to pick my brain. I am not going to sell you a course or promise you "ยฃ50k/month easy by writing on LinkedIn" but, I can certainly help you increase your profits and remove business headaches and anxiety. Chat later.
