Two co-founders on the brink of dissolving their business found common ground through heart-centered mediation—saving their partnership and reputation.
Mediation
Tensions between two co-founders of a tech startup reached a breaking point. After five years of partnership, differences in vision and power dynamics exploded into legal threats.
We facilitated 4 deep-dive mediation sessions over 3 weeks, helping both founders move past ego, communicate with clarity, and return to their shared vision.
Instead of rehashing blame, we used somatic-based conflict resolution, narrative reframing, and neutral facilitation that focused on long-term legacy.
They realigned roles, dissolved past resentment, and walked away with a revised partnership agreement rooted in mutual respect.
Results:
Avoided $400K+ in legal fees and business dissolution
Rebuilt strategic roadmap with shared leadership
Created internal “values charter” to prevent future conflicts
