Founders don't fail on product.
They fail in the conversation.

The pitch that lost the round. The all-hands that killed morale. The co-founder conversation you kept avoiding. Commy gives founders a private space to practice the high-stakes conversations that make or break companies.

The conversations that make or break companies

Most founder mistakes aren't strategic. They're conversational — and they're fixable.

📉

Pitch meetings that get 'not right now'

You know the deck. You know the metrics. But something goes flat in the room — the narrative doesn't click, the energy drops, and you leave without conviction from anyone.

🪑

Hiring conversations that lose top candidates

You had a great candidate. The process felt good. Then they took another offer. You never found out why — but the sell was wrong somewhere, and you missed it.

🧨

Difficult conversations you keep avoiding

The co-founder tension. The underperforming lead. The investor who's getting nervous. You know the conversation needs to happen. You keep finding reasons to delay it.

📣

All-hands that drain the room

You share big news — a pivot, a layoff, a reorg. The team nods. Then the questions come, and you feel the energy leave. The message landed wrong, and now people are anxious.

Scenarios built for founders

Practice the exact conversations that separate funded, retained, and trusted founders from the rest.

Investor RelationsAvg: 59/100

Seed round pitch — 10-minute partner meeting

Practice the full narrative arc: problem, why now, why you, traction, ask. Get scored on specificity, conviction, and how you handle hard questions.

HiringAvg: 64/100

Recruiting close — selling a senior hire

The candidate has competing offers. Practice the equity conversation, vision sell, and the role of culture — without overselling or underselling the challenge.

ConflictAvg: 57/100

Difficult co-founder conversation

Role mismatch, equity tension, performance concerns. Practice saying the hard thing directly without damaging the relationship or the company.

Board CommunicationAvg: 61/100

Board update — bad quarter

Numbers are down. Practice presenting the reality with accountability, without catastrophizing or spinning. Practice holding the room when they push back.

Team CommunicationAvg: 55/100

All-hands after a layoff

You've had to let people go. Practice the announcement — acknowledgement, explanation, what comes next — in a way that maintains trust without false optimism.

From founders who've drilled with Commy

"I'd done hundreds of pitches. I thought I was good. Commy scored my Series A narrative and flagged that I was spending 4 minutes on problem and 45 seconds on why us. That's why I kept getting 'not ready.' Fixed it in two practice sessions."

Founder, SaaS

Raised Series A after restructuring pitch narrative

"The co-founder conversation drill was uncomfortable in all the right ways. I'd been avoiding a real conversation for three months. After practicing it, I had it the next day. We're still together and the company is healthier."

Co-founder, B2B marketplace

2-person founding team, 18 months in

"Our all-hands after a rough quarter used to feel like damage control. Commy drills made me realize I was being vague about accountability and over-promising on recovery. Now my team leaves all-hands feeling steadied, not anxious."

Founder & CEO

30-person company, post-Series A
