Support the Founder Psychology Commons
If the User Manual has shaped how you build, lead, or relate - your contribution will help keep it available to every founder.Reciprocity in Action
The User Manual is a co-creation between me and the founders I’ve worked with over the years. Founders trusted me with their inner experiences - their fear, ambition, confusion, conflict, and vision. I received their vulnerability, blended it with my clinical training and lived experience, and reflected it back in the form of language, frameworks, and tools.
What you’re reading is the result of these conversations - those exchanges of energy and insight. It would not exist without the founders who chose to speak honestly with me.
Reciprocity is a core value of mine. Supporting this work is one way of embodying the same reciprocity that created it — with insight flowing between people, rather than accumulated.
Access Matters
I don’t believe in locking help behind a paywall.
Every founder - regardless of stage or runway - deserves access to ideas and tools that support their evolution and vision. Keeping The User Manual open is a deliberate choice.
Your support allows me to expand this body of work without restricting access to it. When you contribute, you’re helping ensure that the resources I build remain a part of the commons - available to anyone building something meaningful.
