In the right environment, business moves forward.
Access the know-how, peers, experts and opportunities of Waterman — so getting where you want to go, gets a whole lot easier.
Running a business can be relentless.
After 10 years of journeying alongside thousands of founders in the Waterman network, we’ve seen that across many different types of industries, the challenges for a scaling business remain the same.
Product development, sales, marketing, cash flow, direction, staff, capital, compliance, innovation etc or simply the constant daily decisions, the pressures are real and at times can feel overwhelming.

Pathfounder™ Intro

Every week inside Waterman, we see founders navigating similar constraints...
Revenue Growth
At the core of sustainable business success is the need to create effective systems that generate predictable revenue growth.
- What if the next quarter of customers was already in view?
People Management
The ability to find, manage and develop good people is a key driver of how successful a business becomes.
- What if you weren’t the one making the wrong hire twice?
Founder Constraint
A common challenge in growing businesses is when the founder becomes a bottleneck to acceleration.
- What if the business could keep moving without you involved?
Priority Focus
The increasing demands of running a business can make it difficult to identify and focus on what matters most at each stage.
- What if you got the time back to work on the business?
Pathfounder is a dynamic ecosystem within Waterman designed to propel your business further and navigate beyond these challenges.

“The business support program was a great way for me to set goals and plan a clear pathway to achieving it. I found that Oreste was able to keep me accountable and also allow me to provide insightful advice around my specific roadblocks. ”
Founder, Sami Strategy Co.
The Waterman team created an environment that kept me focused, accountable, and committed to achieving my goals. As a business owner, having access to experienced professionals and a network of like-minded business owners to bounce ideas off was incredibly valuable. The insights, support, and accountability I received have had a real impact on my business.
