Itay Forer

Founder & Executive Coach

Built and scaled a YC-backed startup from 3 people to 400+ employees.
Raised capital, lived through the messy middle of growth, and learned a lot the hard way.

Today, I work with founders on coaching, business strategy, product market fit, leadership, and the human side of building.

I also like building, buying, and growing small digital products.
