We help small business founders to get free from Founder’s Block, and make progress where it matters most.

We make business;
more rewarding,
successful, and enjoyable for small business founders

The feeling of hitting a wall, going round in circles or being excited about the future, but not really sure how to get there or what to prioritise, happens to almost all Founders at some point.

We call this state, "Founder's Block."

We provide our Founders with an Extra Brain. We give you an honest perspective delivered with care, the functional expertise to be courageous, and the clarity that only an "Extra Brain" can.

Our Extra Brains create a non-judgemental, constructive space where founders; explore and build on their ideas, get inspired by curious, experienced people, and find exactly the right expertise to create meaningful progress.

What business leaders say about us

"Working with Jess and the Extra Brains has been one of the best business decisions we've made in a very long time. I find time with her extremely productive and inspiring and she always lightens my load."

Sophie Edwards

"The highs and lows of running an agency can be extremely taxing and sometimes just having a conversation with someone who’s been there and done it is just what you need to put your mind at rest and work out a clear route through."

Josh Bolland

"We’ve found having an objective view point, a robust challenge or just a fresh pair of eyes invaluable in keeping us true to what we do, and to have the best chance of success. That’s what Extra Brain brings to us and why we work with them."

Elliot Sykes
