"Founder coaching should be standard practice. It's like an insurance policy for the VC." These words from the round table between Ariane de Bonvoisin, advisor, best selling author and coach and Filip at Cherry Ventures, top VC fund in Europe, during Bits & Pretzels, hit hard. I’m coming back energized and motivated—more and more VCs are finally getting the point and betting on coaching for founders and leadership teams. This isn't just about keeping up with the intense growth demands—it’s about setting the bar high from DAY ONE. If you’re going to talk about talent, you better promote it, invest in it, and be proactive in shaping it. Coaching is synonymous with high performance and we need VCs to be fully engaged and hands-on in this mission because it benefits everyone. There’s no point in skyrocketing growth if you’re burning people out. That’s not sustainable, and it will collapse under its own weight.
