The Founder’s Growth Playbook: Winning Moves for Scaling Fast


You know you're stuck. But do you know exactly WHERE—and what to fix first?

Kathleen Wood shares the proprietary KWP Scaling System™—the same framework she's used for 20+ years to help Founders pinpoint exactly where they are and identify the moves required to scale. 

Kathleen has been the strategic catalyst behind Raising Cane's (from 2 units to first President & COO), Walk-On's, Tap Room (3 units to national brand), Bango Bowls, and Toast Coffee + Kitchen.

What you'll gain:

  • An honest assessment of your current stage 
  • The specific bottleneck costing you the most 
  • The moves with the biggest impact on your trajectory 
  • A clear roadmap from stuck to scaled 

This isn't theory from a consultant who's never operated. Kathleen has been in the trenches—as an operator, strategic leader, and board member. Founders leave energized with actionable plays to create momentum immediately.
