ABOUT
The founders behind Lancestone.
Two founders. Two perspectives on the same problem. Dennis has lived it firsthand. Linda has spent her career watching it play out from the inside of founder-led companies.

CO-FOUNDER
Dennis Kuipers
Dennis built his company from zero to $42M+ in revenue and a team of 250+. He hit the exact wall he now writes about. A business running entirely through him, no way to step back, no way to keep continue like this. He worked his way out by redesigning it from the outside in, and eventually sold it.
He didn't learn this from theory. He paid the tuition himself.
- Scaled his own company to $42M+ in revenue.
- Guided 100+ seven-figure founders through the same shift.
- Grew the team to 250+. Then sold the company.
- Endorsed by Daniel Priestley, founder of Dent Global.
After the exit he could have stopped. Instead he spent the years that followed working alongside more than a hundred seven-figure founders, watching the same patterns repeat, and turning what he had learned into a method: The Breakout Model. He captured it in Breaking Out of Founders' Prison, now an international Amazon bestseller and the foundation of Lancestone.
CO-FOUNDER
Linda Nordholt
Linda is a founder, operator and strategist. She has built, scaled and successfully exited her own company. She shapes direction and structure across founder-led businesses. And she sees what has to change before most founders can name it.
Inside Lancestone, she focuses on the person behind the business. The identity. The ownership. Letting go of who they've been, so they can lead what comes next. She is direct, grounded and impossible to bluff.
- Built, scaled and successfully exited her own company.
- The founder shift is her territory: who they are, and what they have to let go of.
- Extensive experience as integrator, strategist and operator across founder-led companies.
Why this matters for you.
If you are past $1M and the business runs through you, you don't need another motivational speaker. You need people who have built real companies themselves and can see exactly why you are stuck.
That is the whole point of Lancestone. No theory-only coaches. No frameworks bought off a shelf. Founders who have scaled, exited, and now help other seven-figure founders do the same, without the years lost figuring it out alone.
