Coaching alongside the work, not separate from it

Build the product.
Become the CEO.
Scale the team.

For early-stage and scaling digital health founders. Coaching by Chartered Psychologists with NHS-scale digital innovation experience.

We plug in
  • Decades of practical & innovation experience
  • Doctoral-level leadership knowledge
  • Behavioural economics applied to your hypothesis
  • Team cohesiveness grounded in peer-reviewed research
01 What you'll recognise

If you're building digital health, you'll recognise these.

Generic accelerators don't have the depth for your stage. Founder coaches don't know clinical pathways. Health consultants don't know how to ship. You end up either being told to "talk to users" by someone who's never run a study, or sold "leadership training" by someone who's never made a hiring decision under pressure.

We've sat in your chair. Both chairs, actually.

Founder chair. Operator chair. Policy chair. We've held all three — and we're holding two right now.

Shipped · national

Craig is leading RenurtureFemTech Accelerator winner and Regional Innovation winner, scaling as the market catches up.

The unique seat: founder-native experience + Chartered Psychologists at doctoral depth + behavioural-economics rigour. It's why the work compounds.

For founders tired of generic. 20 minutes is the cheapest way to find out if we fit. See engagement types →

The six recurring pains
  • i.The innovation has stalled — or the change has hit resistance — and you can't quite name why.
  • ii.Inheriting a new identity — CEO, programme lead, change owner — and realising the old self won't scale.
  • iii.Hiring or growing a team faster than you can lead one.
  • iv.Scaling the self alongside the team and the mission.
  • v.Selling the work to stakeholders who don't speak your discipline — investors, boards, commissioners.
  • vi.Burning out before the change lands.
02 The method, for you

The U·X·C loop, applied to your venture.

Three short stages, run on repeat. Product, founder development and team coaching all moving in parallel — because, in the work, they're the same problem.

Stage 01 · Discover First two weeks
User

"What's actually in the way?"

Diagnose, don't deliverable.

Founder diagnostic. Product-hypothesis review through a behavioural-economics lens. Team-stage assessment. An honest map of what's blocking you — fast, not eight-week consultancy theatre.

Stage 02 · Accelerate Months 1–6 (or longer)
eXperience

"Ship. Coach. Adjust. Ship again."

Three things, in parallel.

Two-week sprints on the product. Monthly founder check-ins. Team-formation work as you scale. They run together because the work doesn't separate them — only consultants do.

Stage 03 · Evidence End of every cycle
Change

"Investor-ready proof."

Artefacts, not anecdotes.

Pre/post measures. Adherence analysis. Founder/team capability evidence. The artefacts you need for the next investor conversation, board meeting or grant — feeding back into the next Discover.

Each cycle re-enters Discover. No waterfalls, ever. Read the method in full
03 Engagement types

Three engagement shapes. One method underneath.

Length and shape are clearly bounded. Pricing is bespoke and shared in the discovery call — because what you actually need varies, and we don't believe in pretending otherwise.

★ Flagship

Founder + Product partnership.

Six- to twelve-month engagement. Coaching alongside product cycles. Team development as you scale. Investor-ready evidence at every stage. Most founders work with us this way because it's the engagement that compounds.

Discovery sprint.

Two- to four-week diagnostic. Product hypothesis. Founder readiness. Team stage. A clear next-step plan and an honest read on whether we're the right fit for the longer work.

Coaching that challenges and shines a spotlight on what you say you want — and what you actually mean and do. It's life-changing.

Voices from the work

More from the people we've coached.

Pulled from interviews and end-of-programme evaluations. Names withheld; roles and context preserved.

My experience of UXC has been fantastic — very different from previous coaching experiences. The approach has been inviting, playful and impactful.
Team member · After UXC team coaching
It's been challenging and has pushed us as a team and me individually — but it has also been fun and has built connections all across the team.
Team member · Leadership programme
For me I've just seen that I can achieve way more than I gave myself credit for to begin with.
Senior leader · After UXC coaching
It has shown me how powerful making space and time for thinking and planning can be — for your own wellbeing and for the development of the team.
