About Us

Hi there - we are Fort Light, and we’re delighted that you found your way to us.

We’re passionate about supporting fellow managers and helping startups get the people management piece right.

We are operators and builders at heart, bringing years of experience building and scaling teams at fast-paced, venture-backed startups. We know these roles are high-stress and have high stakes, but often lack the support or role modeling that ambitious managers so badly need. 

That is why we’ve created a group coaching program that is designed from the ground up for startup managers. 

This program was created out of our own experiences, and in partnership with startup CEO / Founder coaches Anamaria Nino-Murcia and Michael Terrell. 

The Fort Light experience will feel different from other training programs out there. One piece of feedback that we hear consistently is “this wasn’t anything like I expected – but in the best way possible” :) 

We want this program to feel like a learning lab, or like “training” in the way athletes or musicians think about that word.

We’ll give you tools, templates and information that you can use right away. But more importantly, we will help you shift your mindset and build a self-coaching muscle that will unlock new behaviors for the long-term. With that muscle, you will be empowered to make better and more deliberate choices, no matter what challenge you face. You will become better at managing yourself, in order to be better at leading your team. 

We invite you to join us in the Fort Light experience. It will be challenging. It will be fun. And we’re excited to go on this journey together. 

Team Fort Light
