Moments

What is a Threshold Moment?

Every founder faces challenging fork-in-the-road decisions. These are threshold moments. They might be market, strategy, financial, or cultural choices, but the outcome of every threshold moment is determined by the quality and experience of the team engaged in making the decision.

Threshold exists to shepherd entrepreneurs through these critical moments. We empathetically engage to sharpen visions, develop leadership, and push startup founders to think more boldly than they might on their own. Superior outcomes don’t just happen. They are the result of thoughtful, informed decisions made during threshold moments.
