The 5-Minute Founder Check-In.

Why It Matters

Startups move fast. Teams drift quietly.

A 5-minute check-in surfaces misalignment early, keeping focus, morale, and delivery on track.

Key Question 1: Focus - “Are we all clear on the top priority?”

Different answers? That’s drift. Reset focus and make priorities visible.

Key Question 2: Friction - “What feels stuck right now?”

Micro-blockers often go unspoken. Spot them early to unblock your team fast.

Key Question 3: Support & Bandwidth - “Who needs help?” + “Are we saying yes to too much?”

Keep workload realistic and make support visible to prevent burnout.

The Outcome

Five minutes, once a week, keeps your team aligned and moving in sync.

A simple habit that prevents drift before it affects results.
