Darius 'Bubs' Monsef, Founder of Pre
Darius was the most helpful coach we've had. He helped frame our pitch, sharpen our strategy, and run a successful funding sprint.

Priceless feedback that's concise, direct, and deeply constructive. Darius' systems are still a core part of how I operate to this day.

You're drowning in advice, communities, and courses... none of that builds your company.
Pre gives you the structure and pressure to focus on the only two things that matter: validating your idea and getting traction.
You're working furiously, but without a clear direction... and it's not adding up.
Pre gives you a system to narrow your focus, validate fast, and execute in a way that builds toward something real.
Experience is a killer advantage, but it can also come with some bad habits, levels of comfort or compelling excuses.
Even pro athletes have great coaches that see their potential and push them to work harder. We built Pre to do exactly that for us.
You raised a round, congrats! That's a huge milestone... Now you really can't afford to fail.
It's tempting to take a break, but you need to keep the pressure on. You need to keep executing like it's your last chance. Pre keeps you in that mindset.
Everything you need to execute
