Why LYFT Works for Founders

Running a business can be exhilarating and exhausting all at once.

You shoulder the responsibility for growth, strategy, team culture, often without a sounding board who truly understands your challenges.

LYFT was built to change that.

Our advisory boards are designed specifically for founders and owners. We match you with 8–10 experienced entrepreneurs who meet monthly to share insights, hold each other accountable and problem‑solve in real time.

What’s in it for you?

  • Fresh perspectives on your toughest problems – hear how fellow founders tackled similar issues and get actionable advice.
  • Accountability that drives results – regular check‑ins with your board mean you stay focused on the actions that move the needle.

  • Experienced support for you every step of your journey; whether you are restructuring your business, experiencing challenges that come with fast growth, tight on cash or raising capital, embarking on an acquisition, preparing to exit or managing your team.

Chaired by Those Who’ve Been There and Done It… And Much More

Every LYFT Advisory Board is facilitated by a Chair who is both an entrepreneur and an experienced non‑executive director. Our Chairs aren’t just successful in their own businesses; they’ve sat on boards across multiple industries and know what it takes to grow different types of companies.

They bring:

  • Deep governance expertise – understanding how different businesses operate, scale and weather market changes.
  • Real‑world insight – years of experience leading teams, raising capital and navigating tough decisions.
  • Facilitation skills – ensuring every member’s voice is heard, discussions stay constructive and meetings deliver value.

You get the benefit of their experience & wisdom without the hefty cost of hiring a personal advisor or having your own Board.

Diverse Boards. Inclusive Leadership.

We believe that diversity isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a competitive advantage.

Our boards are intentionally diverse in age, background and industry, because varied perspectives spark better solutions.

Most of our Chairs are women, and we champion inclusive leadership. We welcome male founders too – our “champion blokes” value balanced conversations and respect that great ideas come from everyone.

Unlike many advisory boards that can feel pale, stale and male, LYFT is built for for any founder who values equality. We foster an environment where you can be your authentic self and feel supported by peers who understand you.
