FCC Founders Clinic
Following the energy and engagement from our last session, we’re running the next FCC Founders Clinic (Previously called the Slack Power Hour)
“Thanks for the event. Time-efficient and ideas-dense.” Helen Rantsevich, founder of Reputy.io
This time we have seven industry specialists ready to help founders and startup or scaleup CEOs with any problem they are facing.
Rather than high-level theory or generic advice, this session is designed to surface practical perspectives, honest reactions, case studies and ideas you can use. Sometimes you’ll leave with something tactical to implement. Other times you’ll find a new way to see the challenge.
Thursday 5th March, 1pm. Inside the FCC Slack group.

Who should come
Founders growing companies who are facing real challenges and want input from people who’ve seen similar situations before.
Fractional leaders who want to observe, contribute, and sharpen their thinking around how companies grow and where they get stuck.
Startup and scaleup CEOs with a burning question they want pressure-tested from multiple angles.
What to expect
Live Q&A across a wide range of startup and scaleup topics.
Questions are raised by founders or the host and then opened up to experts for practical input, experience and alternative viewpoints.
Here are examples of themes that have already been submitted:
What are the options for hiring a CTO or technical co-founder — and what are the risks in each path?
How do you navigate funding in the age of AI?
How do you hire a GTM leader who is both strategic and genuinely hands-on?
As a founder, should I be vibe coding my MVP? How do I choose between the tools available?
How do you actually target potential customers?
How can founders navigate alignment or re-alignment around values?
How do you think about SEO when AI is reshaping discovery?
Expect clarity, strong opinions, and ideas you can act on.
The Fractional Consultant Community
The session happens inside the group, so alongside the invited experts you’ll benefit from many other members contributing complementary — and sometimes conflicting — views.
Expect fast responses, multiple angles, healthy disagreement, and a strong bias toward what works in the real world.
This is a focused, free-flowing hour where you can ask, react and learn in real time by watching experienced operators think out loud.
If you are building, stuck, scaling, or simply want sharper input into the challenges you’re facing right now, this will be time well spent.
