Anybody can launch a startup. 
But accelerating traction and designing a business that runs like clockwork is another story.

“Only 20% of Series A funded businesses will succeed.”

Imagine knowing exactly how to efficiently prioritize, using tested tools to simplify your business, and having your team working together to get things done...

…wouldn’t that make it easier to hit your goals?

I'm Michel Gagnon


And I'll be your instructor. 

Everything I'll teach you, I've tested and implemented myself in my businesses and with clients. 

I am leading a 100+ employee tech company, Founder of the Stun and Awe Academy, Business mentor at APX (Axel Springer & Porche), and Advisor at the GreenTech Alliance.
