The Founder's Consigliere

Unlimited Strategic Support – IDR 43.4 Mio

You're building something that matters. Maybe you're scaling. Maybe you're stuck. Maybe you're three years from an exit and want to do it right. Maybe you're just alone at the top.This service is for founders who want real, experienced advice, without the USD 60,000 executive-coach price tag.You don't need a full-time advisor. You need a founder's consigliere: someone who's been where you are, understands the pressure, and helps you build a business worth running, and worth selling when the time comes.If you're in the arena, I'm in your corner.

Unlimited Support, One Flat Fee

From the moment you sign up, you get direct access to me. No limits, no clock-watching. Just clear, strategic support whenever you need it.
We start with a 2-hour in-person onboarding to deeply understand you, your business, and what you're actually building toward. From there, you can book unlimited calls through a private calendar link, and we'll work through whatever decisions or questions you're facing, together.I'll share every playbook, shortcut, and hard-earned lesson I've picked up building four companies across Southeast Asia and advising hundreds of founders. As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), I'll also bring a structured lens to long-term value creation, so the work we do compounds, whether or not an exit is on your horizon.You'll also get fast-track introductions to vetted founders, operators, and investors, built through years of hands-on work and thousands of real conversations. I speak with over 200 founders each month, giving me a live read on what's working, where capital's flowing, and who can actually help. These warm intros cut through the noise.Consigliere members are automatically enrolled in our Peer Groups program at no extra cost. That gives you a curated table of founders who meet monthly for structured accountability, candid problem-solving, and the kind of growth that only comes from sitting alongside people working through the same questions you are. The 1:1 work we do together gets sharper when there's a peer group reinforcing it month after month.It's a flat fee of IDR 43.4 Mio for 12 months of personal, on-call guidance, plus your Peer Group seat. There are 10 spots per cohort. Once they're full, the waitlist opens for the next one.

Structured Planning, From Day One

Most of our work will be reactive: the call you need this week about a hire, a partner, a pricing decision, a board conversation. That's the heart of what this service is.But reactive work is only as good as the foundation it's built on. So we start by laying that foundation together.In our 3-hour onboarding session, we'll work through three structured exercises, drawn from the same CEPA-aligned toolkit I use with founders preparing for exit:

This becomes our shared reference point. Every call after that lands inside a clear picture of what success looks like for you, what the business needs to deliver, and where the gaps are. When a tough decision comes up six months in, we're not starting from scratch. We're checking it against what you said mattered most.We'll revisit and update the exercises as things change, usually a couple of times a year, or whenever a major decision warrants pulling the lens back.

Why I Offer This

Over the years, multiple founders have told me they wanted deeper, more strategic conversations than the United Founders membership was designed for: direct access when big decisions came up, space to think through complex issues, and honest advice from someone who'd actually built businesses and helped guide exits.A growing number wanted help getting their company into shape for a future sale or capital raise, sometimes one to five years out. Others wanted help navigating investor conversations, hiring moves, partnerships, pivots, and warm introductions to the people who could actually move things forward.So I created this for founders who want to go deeper. You get unlimited access to me as your advisor, sounding board, and connector, your seat in a monthly Peer Group, plus the structured tools to make sure the business you're building today will hold up to whatever you ask of it tomorrow.

Who Am I

My name is Patrick Searle. Over the past 15 years, I've built four businesses across Southeast Asia, collectively employing over 300 people and generating over USD 30 million in revenue. In all of them, I was in the trenches from day one: driving product, hiring and firing, setting up operations, raising and exiting, navigating tough conversations, and making the calls that don't show up in playbooks.Today, I run United Founders, a 450+ member community of Bali's most successful founders and leaders, and Bali Capital Connect, a platform linking founders with capital, with 1,400+ members and 360+ investor introductions completed in under a year.I'm a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA). The work I do increasingly sits at the intersection of founder support, capital connection, and exit planning: helping entrepreneurs build significant, exit-ready companies that support their ideal life.Exceptional exits are rarely accidental. They're designed, through disciplined preparation, thoughtful structuring, and the right partnerships. Whether you're three years out or twelve, the decisions you make today determine the leverage you'll have when it matters.I speak with hundreds of founders, operators, and investors every week. It gives me a clear read on where momentum is building and which strategies are actually working, across stages, industries, and deal sizes.This isn't just what I do. It's what I live. I know the weight of the decisions, the loneliness at the top, and the pressure to always have the answers. Sometimes what makes the difference is having someone in your corner who genuinely gets it.

Areas I Can Help You With

FAQs

How does this work?

Once you sign up, you'll get a calendar link to book calls whenever you want. I keep notes after each one so we pick up where we left off. Where it helps, I'll suggest people in my network: investors, experts, founders solving similar problems in real time.

Is this really unlimited?

Yes, within reason. Book as many calls as you need throughout the year. If the pace ever feels unsustainable, we'll have an honest conversation. The spirit is simple: when you need support, I'll be there. No clock-watching, no extra charges.

Can I book multiple or recurring calls in advance?

Not in advance, but after each call you're welcome to book the next one. Booking one at a time keeps me available when it really counts: when you've got a burning question or a big decision to make.

Can I simply message you on Whatsapp?

Yes. But if a thread runs longer than a quick back-and-forth, I'll suggest we jump on a call. It's usually faster.

Can you review content, links, or decks in advance?

Happy to review. If it's more than a 5-minute read, we'll cover it on a call so I can walk you through the feedback in real time.

What's included with the Peer Group?

Your Consigliere membership includes a full seat in our Peer Groups program. You'll be matched into a small, curated group of founders at a comparable stage and meet monthly for structured accountability, peer problem-solving, and the planning exercises described above. Most members find the 1:1 work and the peer dynamic compound on each other: the group surfaces the issues, and our calls go deeper on the ones that matter most to you.

What does CEPA mean for me, practically?

The Certified Exit Planning Advisor credential is issued by the Exit Planning Institute. It means I bring more than war stories. I bring a disciplined approach to making your business more valuable, more transferable, and more resilient. Whether or not you ever sell, the same disciplines that prepare a company for a successful exit also make it a better business to run.

Do I need to be planning an exit to benefit?

No. Most of the founders I work with aren't selling next year. They want to build something that could sell, on their terms, when they're ready. The exit-readiness lens is just the most rigorous version of good business planning.

How do the planning exercises fit in?

They're optional and unscheduled. We run them when the timing's right: usually when you're at an inflection point, between cycles, or quietly aware that the day-to-day has crowded out the bigger questions. Most founders do one or two of the three within their 12 months. You set the pace.

Is there an NDA or confidentiality agreement?

Yes. Trust is everything here. We sign a mutual NDA before we begin. You'll also have full transparency: if I ever recommend an advisor, agency, or investor, I'll disclose any referral fees or existing relationships.

How is this different from a Executive Coach?

Most executive coaches work within a fixed structure: mindset tools, frameworks, scheduled hours. It can get expensive, and it's often not adaptable to what you actually need, when you need it.This is founder-to-founder. Practical, real-time, and built for the messy middle: scaling fast, facing tough calls, getting a business exit-ready, or just needing someone who's been there to talk things through.If you ever need something more intense (deep therapy, trauma work, high-performance coaching) I'll be the first to tell you, and I'll suggest names.

Why do you only work with individual founders—not companies or teams?

The biggest decisions founders face are rarely made by teams. This service is built for the personal, high-stakes stuff: moments of doubt, pivots, tough calls, exit conversations, leadership pressure that can't always be shared with your team. If you're the one carrying the weight, this is designed for you.

Is there a refund policy?

Absolutely. If you're not 100% happy, reply to your email receipt within 90 days for a full refund. No questions asked. Even if you've had calls, you'll still get your money back.

This sounds too good to be true—is it?

Maybe. I believe the model works. If it ever becomes unsustainable, I'll adjust the pricing or cohort numbers. For now I'm focused on helping a handful of founders the way I wish someone had helped me.

There are only 10 spots available per cohort. Once they’re full, the waitlist opens for the next one. If this sounds like the support you’ve been missing, secure your spot before the cohort fills up.

Stop Making High-Stakes Decisions Alone

As your business grows, honest conversation becomes harder to find. You can't speak openly with employees without creating uncertainty, with investors without creating doubt, or with your life partner without creating unnecessary worry.The more responsibility you carry, the fewer people you can speak freely with.Peer Groups solve this by giving you a private, confidential circle of leaders who truly understand the weight you carry, so you can think more clearly and act with confidence.

You're Not Alone, But You Probably Feel Like You Are.

Research consistently shows what most founders already know but rarely say out loud:

But it doesn't have to stay that way. Across peer group organisations worldwide, the data tells the same story: leaders who join structured peer groups consistently outperform those who don't with revenue growing 214% faster than their peers (Stein + Partners / Chief Executive Network Study).You can continue carrying the full weight of leadership alone, or you can think it through with people operating at your level.

What Is a Peer Group?

A Peer Group is a small, private group of 6 leaders matched by business stage, ambition, and current challenges. You meet every six weeks in a structured, confidential environment to work through real decisions together: decisions that affect your company, your team, and your life.Members share real experiences. No ego, no performance. Just direct, honest conversation with people who understand the context. You stay in control of your decisions, and you make better ones.This model has been used for decades by leading global peer organisations and thousands of high-performing founders worldwide. It works because trust compounds, and better thinking leads to better outcomes.

Three Things That Change When You Stop Going It Alone

Growth

Surrounding yourself with people who can give informed, honest feedback (not the filtered version your team or investors offer) puts you in a position to make decisions that actually move the business forward. Faster.

Accountability

You set a goal. You report back. Every six weeks, you sit in front of people who remember what you committed to. The group becomes your most reliable forcing function, not because they push you, but because you don't want to let them down.

Mental Clarity

Leadership isolation compounds quietly. Peer Groups give you a room where you can speak openly about the real pressure, without worrying about what it does to confidence in your team, your investors, or your family. The relief is immediate.

Who Is This For?

United Founders Peer Groups are designed for founders and business leaders running real, revenue-generating businesses from $100K to $100M+, where the cost of getting decisions wrong is high.You're past the stage of just getting by. The stakes are higher, the problems are more complex, and how you think matters more than how many hours you put in.This is for you if:

Not for pre-revenue founders, or anyone who can't commit consistently. The group only works when every member shows up and follows through.

What Leaders Say About Peer Groups

"Joining a peer group was the highest-impact decision I ever made. My business growth exploded." — Michael Girdley, Founder, CEO & Investor“Because of my peer group, I now have a trusted group that I feel comfortable both shooting the shit with and talking through the really ugly, messy parts with.” — Cassandra Worthy, Founder, Change Enthusiasm Global"The main value I receive is unconditional support from people who get what it's like to be an entrepreneur." — Natalia Matveeva, Co-Founder, Realore Studios“My Peer group has been inspiring and pushed me to see opportunities I would have missed on my own. Something special is being built here, and I’m thankful to be a part of it.” — Alex Daniels, Co-Founder, Haven Lifestyles"You cannot Google 'What am I not doing that I should be doing?" — Brian Lauducci, CEO, Paylock IPT

How We Match You With the Right Leaders

The quality of your group shapes the quality of your outcomes. Every placement is reviewed by United Founders leadership to ensure the group is aligned and built to last.You'll be matched within one of five tiers based on your current level of complexity and pressure:

How You Go From Application to Momentum

Step 1: Complete the Application:

A detailed questionnaire covering revenue, team size, structure, experience, and growth ambition. This gives us what we need to make a match that actually holds.

Step 2: We Build Your Group:

Six founders, placed into the right tier. We prioritise fit over speed. If there's a short wait, it's because we're doing this properly.

Step 3: First Session, Moderated:

Your first meeting is run by a United Founders moderator who sets the structure, tone, and format. During that session, the group selects a Group Lead to run things from session two onward.

Step 4: Every Six Weeks, It Compounds:

By session three, groups find their rhythm. Conversations become direct, trust deepens, and the quality of decisions improves noticeably. There is no fixed end date. The longer you stay together, the more valuable it becomes.

What Happens in Each Session

Each session follows a structured format to drive clarity, depth, and action. Meetings are held in person, last around 3 hours, and are led by an agreed-upon Group Lead.

Every session ends with clarity, commitment, and a date in the calendar.

Three Times a Year, You Zoom Out

Once your group has completed three sessions, a set of structured Personal & Business Planning Exercises becomes available to be used whenever the time is right. Most groups fold one into a regular session by extending it an extra hour. There is no fixed schedule. Your group decides when.Where the regular session focuses on the decisions in front of you today, this extra hour pulls the lens back to the bigger question: what does success actually look like?Three exercises, spread across the year:

The exercises are structured enough to run themselves. The value comes from doing them alongside people who know your business, will push back on vague answers, and are working through the same questions themselves.

What United Founders Handles For You

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does the group meet?

Every six weeks, in person, for around three hours. Block half a day every six weeks. That's the full investment.

What kind of topics can be discussed?

Anything relevant to your role as a leader: growth, hiring, leadership, fundraising, operations, partnerships, or personal challenges. The value comes from discussing real situations with people who understand the context.

Who leads the sessions?

The first session is moderated by United Founders to set the structure. During that session, the group selects a Group Lead from the members to run all future meetings.

In person or online?

We find in-person creates better conversations — easier to build trust, go deeper, and get to the kind of relationships where people tell you the truth.That said, if everyone agrees, online works too, as long as everyone is fully present. Though if you go online regularly, we'd still encourage bi-annual in-person sessions to keep the connection strong.The one setup to avoid is hybrid, where most of the group is in the room and one person dials in. As from experience, it never really works - either everyone is in the room, or everyone is online.

Should we ever make a session into more of an event?

Yes. Twice a year we encourage groups to go beyond the meeting itself: a shared dinner, a weekend away, or an activity around the session. It sounds simple, but the conversations that happen outside the room are often as valuable as the ones inside it.

What if I can't make a session?

While we suggest you do your very best to make every meeting, occasional absences happen and we get it, so if something does come up, just let your group know as early as you can (they may be able to be flexible here). What matters however is consistency over time, so if missing sessions becomes a regular pattern, it may make more sense to step away from the group.

What are the Personal & Business Planning Exercises?

Three times a year, your group adds an extra hour to its regular session to work through a structured exercise that shifts focus from today's decisions to the longer arc of what you're building. Covering Personal Goal Setting, Wealth Gap Analysis, and Business Planning, these are self-facilitated using a structured format.

What if the group isn't the right fit?

Attend at least two or three sessions first. Early sessions are still trust-building. If it's genuinely not working after that, we'll review options and find a better placement.

What happens if a member leaves?

Groups can continue with five members. If numbers drop further, a new member who fits is brought in. A fresh perspective at the right stage can actually strengthen the group.

Can I join with a co-founder?

Yes, but co-founders are placed in a separate group to keep perspectives broad and conversations honest. Please note for Peer Groups, the Buy One Get One Community Plan deal does not apply, so one/both of you would need to upgrade separately to be placed into a peer group.

Can members do business with each other?

We'd recommend you try not to, as these groups are built for honest conversation, and the moment people start selling, hiring, or partnering with each other, the dynamic can shift and candour can drop. Of course natural collaborations do happen over time, but this group should be more about your personal growth than new business opportunity.

When does my group end?

There is no fixed end date. The longer a group stays together, the more valuable it becomes. Trust compounds over time.

Is this networking?

No. This is not networking or surface-level conversation. It's a consistent group of founders working through real challenges together. The value comes from trust and context built over time.

Who is this not for?

Pre-revenue founders, or anyone who can't commit consistently. The group only works when every member shows up prepared and follows through.

Polusi plastik telah menjadi salah satu tantangan lingkungan paling menentukan di zaman kita, dan Indonesia kini berada di pusat krisis global tersebut. Dengan perkiraan 64–70 juta ton sampah yang dihasilkan setiap tahun dan lebih dari 11 juta ton tidak tertangani, skala tantangannya sangat besar. Sebagian besar sampah ini akhirnya masuk ke sungai dan laut, menjadikan Indonesia salah satu medan pertempuran paling penting dalam upaya melawan polusi plastik global.Namun, beberapa solusi paling berdampak justru sedang dibangun di sini, di Bali.Itulah sebabnya untuk acara Impact Fireside Event kuartal ini, kami sangat senang menyambut Gary, Sam & Kelly Bencheghib, Co-Founders of Sungai Watch, pada **Thursday, 26th March dari 4:30–7:00pm di Amalfi Restaurant, FINNS Beach Club, untuk sebuah percakapan mendalam tentang bagaimana aktivisme akar rumput berkembang menjadi salah satu gerakan lingkungan paling berpengaruh di Indonesia.Bagi yang belum familiar, Sungai Watch dimulai sebagai sebuah inisiatif kecil yang berfokus pada mendokumentasikan polusi sungai di Bali. Dalam beberapa tahun saja, organisasi ini telah berkembang menjadi salah satu organisasi lingkungan paling terlihat di Indonesia. Sejak diluncurkan pada tahun 2020, tim ini telah memasang lebih dari 380 river barriers, mengadakan lebih dari 2,400 cleanups, dan mengangkat lebih dari 4.2 million kilograms sampah dari sungai, hutan mangrove, dan garis pantai di seluruh Indonesia.Sekarang tim ini sedang mempersiapkan inisiatif paling ambisius mereka: Run for Rivers 2026.Selama 57 hari, Gary, Sam, dan Kelly akan berlari sejauh 1,200 kilometers across Java, menggerakkan komunitas, mendokumentasikan realitas polusi sungai, dan menggalang dana untuk gerakan pembersihan sungai terbesar di Indonesia.

Running For Rivers: A Fundraising Event & Fireside Chat with Gary, Sam & Kelly Bencheghib

Reserve A Ticket - Donate What You Can

Plastic pollution has become one of the defining environmental challenges of our time, and Indonesia now sits at the center of that global crisis. With an estimated 64–70 million tons of waste generated annually and more than 11 million tons left unmanaged, the scale of the challenge is immense. Much of this waste ultimately finds its way into rivers and oceans, making Indonesia one of the most critical battlegrounds in the fight against global plastic pollution.And yet, some of the most impactful solutions are being built right here in Bali.That’s why for this quarter’s Impact Fireside Event, we're excited to welcome Gary, Sam & Kelly Bencheghib, Co-Founders of Sungai Watch, on Thursday, 26th March from 4:30–7:00pm at Amalfi Restaurant, FINNS Beach Club, for an in-depth conversation on how grassroots activism has evolved into one of Indonesia’s most influential environmental movements.For those unfamiliar, Sungai Watch began as a small initiative focused on documenting river pollution in Bali. In just a few years, it has grown into one of the country’s most visible environmental organizations. Since launching in 2020, the team has installed over 380 river barriers, organized more than 2,400 cleanups, and removed over 4.2 million kilograms of waste from rivers, mangroves, and coastlines across Indonesia.Now the team is preparing for their most ambitious initiative yet: Run for Rivers 2026.Over the course of 57 days, Gary, Sam, and Kelly will run 1,200 kilometers across Java, mobilizing communities, documenting the reality of river pollution, and raising funds for Indonesia’s largest river cleanup movement. The campaign is built around a simple principle: $1 donated = 1 kg of plastic removed from rivers.At the heart of this movement is a powerful combination of storytelling, activism, and operational execution. What began as a mission to raise awareness has evolved into a large-scale environmental operation focused on creating real, measurable change while inspiring communities, businesses, and governments to become part of the solution.During the session, they will share insights on:

Following on from the talk, we'll then conclude the evening with networking drinks & Food kindly sponsored by FINNS, providing the perfect setting to network and forge meaningful connections with other founders & leaders.There will be a small ticket fee to attend, with all proceeds donated directly to Sungai Watch in support of their Run for Rivers campaign, helping fund their continued efforts to protect and restore Bali’s waterways.Looking forward to seeing many of you there as we discuss what is arguably one of the most urgent environmental challenges facing Bali, Indonesia, and our shared oceans today.

Entrepreneurial Operating System Workshop: The Discipline of Execution

Reserve Your Ticket: IDR 300,000

Have you ever felt like your business has big potential and good people — but still struggles to execute consistently? Many founders and business owners face the same frustrations: competing priorities, endless meetings, problems that never seem to go away, and everyone working really hard but not always on the right things.This workshop is designed to help you overcome these challenges using the tools and frameworks from the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) - a simple, proven system used by more than 100,000 companies worldwide to create clarity, build healthier teams, and deliver consistent results.This is the third workshop in the United Founders EOS series. The first focused on Vision — creating clarity around where the business is going and the plan to get there. The second explored the People Component — strengthening culture and building a more accountable team. This workshop builds on those foundations by focusing on execution: how to create focus, discipline, and consistent follow-through across your organisation. Note: it is not essential to have attended the first two workshops as key concepts will be recapped at the start.This is not theory. Participants will apply the tools directly to their own business so they leave with a practical approach to help their teams execute and deliver better results.

When & Where

What You'll Learn

Who This Is For

This workshop is designed for owners, founders, and senior leaders of entrepreneurial companies who want to build an organisation that can execute with greater discipline and consistency. It is especially valuable for leaders who are clear on where they want to go, but feel frustrated by scattered priorities, inconsistent follow-through, too many unresolved issues, or a team that is busy without always delivering the right outcomes.If you want to build a business that can take a bold vision and actually execute on it, this workshop will give you practical tools to help make that happen.

About the Facilitator

Matt Galt has a passion for helping entrepreneurs build high-performing businesses, so they can create a greater impact in the world. As an EOS Implementer and coach, he works with leadership teams of growth-minded companies, guiding them to get clear on their vision, disciplined in execution, and healthier as a team. With over two decades of experience across startups, scale-ups, and global enterprises, Matt brings deep strategic insight and practical know-how to every conversation. When he isn’t working with founders, you’ll likely find him surfing, meditating, or cracking dad jokes with his two children.

Event Rundown

1. Session One: Reconnecting Vision to Execution
A practical recap of the EOS framework, and the tools to get clear on your Vision and Plan and ensure you have the Right structure and people for success.

2. Session Two: Building the Execution Rhythm
Participants will explore how to create a 90-day world, use weekly data to stay on track, and design a leadership team scorecard that gives real visibility into business performance.

3. Session Three: Implementing the Meeting Pulse and tools for exection
This session introduces the weekly Level 10 Meeting rhythm and shows how healthy teams identify, discuss, and solve issues in a way that strengthens alignment and drives progress.

4. Session Four: Designing the company wide approach that works best for your team
Participants will get to work and start to build the EOS tools for one team in their business, linking measurable outcomes, meeting rhythm — and then zoom out to see how execution can scale across the organisation.

Why You Can’t Miss This Workshop

If you have ever felt frustrated that your business has potential but lacks the consistency, focus, or rhythm to execute at a high level, this workshop will change the way you think about leadership and performance. You will learn a practical, proven system, apply it directly to your own organisation, and walk away with tools to help your team follow through more effectively and deliver breakthrough results.

Note:

The registration fee for this workshop is IDR 300,000, which includes coffee, tea, infused water and snacks provided during all scheduled breaks.

Yes! Crazy? Quite possibly. Inspiring?
