Core idea:
Emerging ecosystems don’t suffer from a lack of teachers — they suffer from a lack of experienced operators who can guide founders through real decisions.
Key arguments to cover:
-
The difference between advice, coaching, and supervision
-
Why exited founders change founder behaviour, not just confidence
-
How “teacher theatre” creates activity without skill transfer
-
What happens when experience density crosses a tipping point
Suggested structure:
-
Why most teaching doesn’t change outcomes
-
The “mentorship gap” in emerging ecosystems
-
How master–apprentice models actually transfer judgment
-
Designing programmes that embed experience, not just access
CTA:
If teachers don’t change decisions, they won’t change results.
