The Conflict Session
Settle one disagreement with your cofounder.
You each write your side alone. Then you read one summary, agree what changes and check back after two weeks.
Four steps. You think it through alone before you talk.
Write your side alone.
About forty minutes, on your own time. We invite your cofounder only after you finish.
Read one summary.
It is built from both sides and opens for both of you at the same moment.
Agree what changes.
You fill in one guided conversation together and settle on up to two agreements.
Check back.
Short check-ins on day 7 and day 14 show whether the agreements held.
On your own is fine.
Your cofounder does not have to join for this to help you.
What you keep
You work through what happened, what you need and the one thing to ask, and you keep it.
If they join later
They answer the same questions privately and you both see where you differ.
What your cofounder never sees.
What you write first
We delete it as soon as you confirm we sorted it right.
Your hardest answers
A few answers are never shown to your cofounder.
No verdict
Nothing scores either of you or decides who is right.
Safety first
Three safety questions come first. If you need a mediator or a therapist, the session stops and says so.
Use it before a disagreement hardens.
Use it when
The same disagreement keeps coming back, or one of you has stopped raising it.
Not when
It has reached threats, lawyers or a decision to leave. Bring in a mediator.
Before the next one
Settle equity, roles and exits in writing, free, before they turn into a fight.
How Founders Align worksCommon questions
What is a Conflict Session?
A guided way to settle one disagreement with your cofounder. You each write your side alone, read one summary, agree what changes, then check back on day 7 and day 14.
Is it a live call?
No. Everything happens in the app, on your own time. The conversation step is one form you fill in together, on one screen or two.
Does software write our summary?
No. The summary is built from your own answers, and you edit it before anything is shared.
What if my cofounder does not want to do it?
You still finish your side and read it back. Your cofounder gets a reminder on day 3 and day 7.
What does it cost?
£149 until 15 Feb 2027. After that £249, or £179 with Compass. You pay once, when you open the session, and you see the price before you start.
Settle this one, in writing.
If you feel unsafe, or this has become a legal dispute, talk to a professional first. A Conflict Session is not legal advice or mediation.
