About Today
The biggest breakthroughs do not always fail because of technology. They fail because the human behind them is not properly supported. Founders are asked to lead under uncertainty, pressure, and responsibility, often without a space to reflect, process, and grow as leaders. Today supports the inner development of founders working on the outer evolution of the world.
We work with founders in deeptech, life science, AI, and related fields - often researchers and scientists stepping into leadership for the first time. We partner closely with the ecosystems that back them: venture capital funds, accelerators, incubators, and corporate venture arms who understand that human development is as critical as any other investment.
Today is the coaching company for founders. We exist to unlock human growth in the people shaping the future
Our Belief
Founders are a startup’s most important asset. Caring for their mental health isn’t separate from performance—it’s what makes performance possible.
Our methodology
Emotional intelligence is the foundation of self- leadership and leadership.
This is Today's core leadership framework in which our work with founders and teams is anchored.
