The What

What Is a 360 Review for Startup Founders?

A 360° review gathers honest, confidential feedback about you from the people who work around you — direct reports, managers, co-founders, and board members — and turns it into a concrete leadership development plan.

We all have blind spots. And when you’re starting something new, doing the job for the first time, learning as you go — that’s when a 360 review is most impactful.

Think of a 360 like an engineering retro. I gather actionable feedback from your direct reports, managers, co-founders, board members, and the company at large. Then we aggregate, rank, and formalize the key “stop, start, continue” items about you and your organization — and co-create an actionable roadmap to track progress and amplify your strengths as a leader.

The Process

How the Individual 360 Review Process Works

Rich feedback comes from rich conversations. Instead of surveys and forms, my 360 process uses focused one-on-one interviews — so I can pull on threads a standardized questionnaire would gloss over, and unearth deeper insights.

1

Self-Assessment & Goals

You complete a brief self-assessment; together we identify leadership and organizational goals, discuss key challenges, and raise the big questions.

2

Choose Your Reviewers

We identify 8–12 people across your sphere of influence — reports, peers, co-founders, board members — for confidential interviews with your coach.

3

Confidential Interviews & Synthesis

I conduct the interviews, consolidate the insights with any additional context, and produce a report highlighting trends and second-order effects.

4

Findings & Roadmap

Report in hand, you and I review the findings together and collaborate on a personalized coaching program to integrate the feedback.

5

Implement & Verify

We work through the roadmap session by session, tracking progress and checking back with the organization to verify real impact.

Third-Party Perspective

You can’t perform a true 360 review on yourself.

It takes someone outside your culture to see the whole picture — and to help you implement lasting change.

Beyond the Founder

Company 360 Reviews

Most companies suffer from a lack of organizational clarity, ineffective systems, or missing resources and information — and leaders are often too close to see where those problems come from. That’s especially true for founders scaling from angel or seed stage through Series A.

A Company 360 applies the same interview-based process to the organization at large — surfacing the bigger, structural blind spots, weaknesses, gaps, and inefficiencies. Much of this feedback naturally surfaces during an individual 360, but a review dedicated to the company itself carries two key differences:

  • An expanded reviewer pool that better represents the whole company.
  • Shared findings: themes and action items are presented to the entire executive team as a group.
The Payoff

Why Perform a 360 Review?

Sharpen Your Leadership

See yourself the way your team sees you: which strengths to lean into, which gaps to close, and how your decisions actually land.

Empower Your Employees

People who are heard invest more deeply. A 360 gives your team a safe, structured channel to shape how the company is led.

Strengthen Your Organization

Honest feedback surfaces the unclear roles, broken systems, and missing information that quietly slow the whole company down.
