Our Approach
Most founders don't fail because of a lack of information.
They struggle with questions of identity, leadership, resilience, stewardship, and calling.
At Olive Founders, founder development sits at the intersection of three worlds:
Entrepreneurship — nearly a decade helping build and scale a startup into a multi-state franchise organization.
Behavioral Science — doctoral research exploring the relationship between self-leadership and entrepreneurial success.
Spiritual Formation — biblical wisdom and Christian discipleship applied to the realities of leadership and business.
Through the Olive Framework, entrepreneurs are equipped to become resilient, faithful leaders who steward their calling well.
Evidence-Based Formation
Research and experience consistently demonstrate that sustainable success begins with the person leading the business. We focus on developing the founder, not simply improving the business.
Kingdom-Minded Leadership
Business is more than profit. We help entrepreneurs faithfully steward their influence, relationships, and organizations for lasting kingdom impact.
