About Horizon37

Horizon37 delivers leadership coaching to rapidly growing businesses and their leaders.

We have a simple and recognised value proposition, delivering two types of coaching programme for:

(a) groups of CEOs (“Transform Together”) and

(b) executive teams (“Discover, Align, Transform”);

who are leading the transition from start-up business to scale-up.

We are currently a team of 11 (a mixture of employees and contractors), including coaches (leading delivery and programmes) and our back-office (who are called the “Dynamo Team”.)

We are very specialised with cutting-edge programmes, products and tools to support our mission. Our customer base, pipeline and sales process are also robust.

We partner with VCs and Institutions who convene cohorts of participants for our Transform Together programmes and recommend teams for our Discover, Align, Transform programmes.

Since we were founded in 2017, investors and founders in the Cambridge ecosystem have embraced and championed our pacey and transformational approach to leadership coaching programmes. Over the years we have refined our market niche and focus, and expanded geographically – building a strong customer base in the London and Oxford markets.
