Founders Compass™, a pioneer in founder-psychology and inner-game transformation with the FounderFormance Assessment™ (FFA), a 15-minute tool designed to help founders understand how pressure impacts their decision-making, resilience, and long-term capacity to lead.
Developed by the Founders Compass Institute™, the FFA is the entry point to a growing discipline called FounderFormance™ — the “human operating system” for entrepreneurs. The assessment evaluates founders across four key masteries: Emotional, Decision, Intuition, and Performance.
Upon completing the assessment, participants receive:
A founder archetype (Achiever, Navigator, Strategist, Trailblazer, or Leader)
A top focus area, or the single lever where their growth can yield the biggest impact
A scorecard showing their readiness profile across the four masteries
A one-page growth plan tailored to their current stage, which can evolve as their venture scales
Built for Founders, Backed by Science
The tool is grounded in real-world founder experience and the latest research in decision-making, stress, and resilience. Because the assessment is private by default, founders can explore their internal dynamics without concerns about data misuse—though there is an opt-in for anonymized research through the Founders Compass Institute.
