Founder to founder, before you scroll.

When it ends, we'll take you straight to the fit check. Three questions, three minutes.

The fit check

Which path is yours?

Three minutes. Honest verdict, including "not yet." Applications for Cohort 1 close Wed Apr 18.

Cohort 1 applications close Wed Apr 18 · 23:59 Warsaw

Six seats · the cohort starts January 18 · there is no scheduled second cohort.

The fit check routes you. The scorecard measures you. Nothing is booked and nothing is sold from either.

The diagnosis

If you went silent for 48 hours, what breaks first?

Every decision queues behind you. That's not a flaw. It's a missing system.

Roughly 8 in 10 businesses put up for sale never find a buyer. At your size, closer to 9 in 10. And 80–90% of a founder's wealth sits locked inside the company. A company that runs on you isn't just exhausting. It's illiquid.

Check your fit

Revenue bands are orientation, not gates. The fit check asks what matters: headcount, and where the company depends on you.

Founding members lock cohort pricing for every future masar. program, a right that exists only in this cohort.

The filter

Not for everyone.
Deliberately.

This works if you are

  • A founder-CEO with 10+ people
  • Running IT or professional services
  • Ready to hand over real authority, in writing
  • Done being the bottleneck

This fails if you are

  • Solo, or a firm under 10 people
  • Shopping for a course to watch
  • Unwilling to let the team decide
  • In month-to-month cash survival

Six seats. The filter is the point.

Ahmed Hamouda speaking to a seated audience.
The operator

Built by the operator who scaled 7x.

I was the bottleneck. Every escalation, every hire, every client relationship ran through me. The department couldn't grow past what one person could hold, and I was that person.

So I built the way out, in the order you'll build it: five numbers my team reported without me, decision rights written down with real spending limits, an operating rhythm I attended but stopped chairing. We scaled 7x. By the end, it ran when I wasn't in the room.

That sequence is the 90-day system. It isn't a framework I read. It's the one I installed, under load, before it had a name.
