W10S19S24“I built Pre for myself first. 20 years of building & mentoring startups fine-tuned into a system that keeps founders honest with themselves and focused on doing their highest impact work every day.”
Darius 'Bubs' Monsef, Founder of Pre
Darius was the most helpful coach we've had. He helped frame our pitch, sharpen our strategy, and run a successful funding sprint.

Priceless feedback that's concise, direct, and deeply constructive. Darius' systems are still a core part of how I operate to this day.

Bubs is a seasoned startup pro and you'd be lucky to work with him. Take it from me, he will help you level up!

For the ambitious and relentless...
First-Time Founders
You're drowning in advice, communities, and courses... none of that builds your company.
Pre gives you the structure and pressure to focus on the only two things that matter: validating your idea and getting traction.
In Pivot Hell
You're working furiously, but without a clear direction... and it's not adding up.
Pre gives you a system to narrow your focus, validate fast, and execute in a way that builds toward something real.
Serial Entrepreneurs
Experience is a killer advantage, but it can also come with some bad habits, levels of comfort or compelling excuses.
Even pro athletes have great coaches that see their potential and push them to work harder. We built Pre to do exactly that for us.
Post-Raise
You raised a round, congrats! That's a huge milestone... Now you really can't afford to fail.
It's tempting to take a break, but you need to keep the pressure on. You need to keep executing like it's your last chance. Pre keeps you in that mindset.
Everything you need to execute
- Your own AI execution & accountability advisor
- 10-week goal-setting & tracking
- Weekly goals / daily prioritization
- Reports shared with your accountability circle
- One system to focus, push, and build faster
