David Forster

I help founders find the real constraint behind growth, operational, and leadership problems.

Book a session

I work with founders to uncover what's actually blocking their progress—whether it's a strategic misstep, operational bottleneck, or leadership gap. My focus is on helping you isolate the real constraint, not just treat the symptoms.

I bring nearly two decades of experience as an entrepreneur and operator, including building and selling multiple businesses and leading teams across service, retail, field operations, and senior operating roles.

Especially experienced in service and route-based businesses where labor efficiency, field execution, capacity, and operational flow directly affect margin.

I’m most useful when the problem is messy, the business has outgrown the current way of operating, or the next decision carries real weight.

Founder Strategy Session

Bring one meaningful business problem, decision, or constraint. In 60 minutes, we’ll identify what’s really happening, separate symptoms from the real issue, pressure-test your options, and determine the right next move. Best for founders facing growth strain, leadership or team issues, key hires, bottlenecks, competing priorities, or a problem that’s hard to diagnose clearly.

Founder Fit Call

A short conversation to understand the business issue you’re working through and determine whether a Founder Strategy Session would be useful. We’ll clarify the problem, make sure I’m the right person to help, and decide the best next step.

Quick Question

Have one focused business question you want a second set of eyes on? Send me the question and the relevant context. I’ll review it and reply with a personalized video covering what I see, what may be driving the issue, and the next move I’d consider. Best for a specific decision, bottleneck, leadership question, or operational issue that does not require a full strategy session. If the issue needs deeper diagnosis or back-and-forth, book a Founder Strategy Session instead.
