You’ve led.
You’ve built.
Let’s refine what comes NEXT.
Divine works with business owners who:

Are done being the central engine in every process
Need a second brain—someone who understands operations, valuation, and leadership at a founder level
You don’t need another mastermind.
You need structured, strategic support that matches the stage you’re in—led by someone who’s built, sold, and advised companies at scale.
Business transformation—tailored for experienced leaders.
