"43% of failed startups cite mental performance challenges-such as imposter syndrome, self sabotage, and loss of focus-contributing significantly to their demise." -CB INSIGHTS
What some of our clients have to say...
  • David DeRam

    David DeRam

    CEO, Greenlight Guru (G2 QMS Market Leader)

    “Back in 2015 when Greenlight was just a baby startup I sat down with my Dreamfuel coach. He led me in a visualization of its eventual exit, and me acquiring the funds to create an arena for my Progeny Foundation for youth basketball. In 2021 it all happened.”
  • Rachel Downey

    Rachel Downey

    CEO, Share Your Genius

    “I noticed I was facing the same problems over and over again, and was not quite sure how to get outside the box of my mind. Dreamfuel’s mental performance coaching helped me get off the roller coaster of emotions many entrepreneurs and high performers face.”
  • Scott Barker

    Scott Barker

    Co-Founder, Sales Hacker & GTMFund

    "As you continue to pursue your goals and dreams, you need to build a performance team around you and an abundance mindset, and Dreamfuel has been an incredible pillar in that team for me."
  • Holman Gao

    Holman Gao

    CEO, Boost My School

    "My Dreamfuel coach helped my team and I stretch our bounds of what’s possible for our startup. Now our team is rallying around our stretch goals like never before, and this little change in thinking is making a massive difference in our performance."
  • Travis Hall

    Travis Hall

    CMO, Remodel Health

    “The first mental performance exercise Dreamfuel did with me was guided visualization. At that point Remodel Health was going into what felt like the playoffs and I needed an elite mindset. This year we won the equivalent of the startup superbowl and I bought my dream home.”
  • Nick Tippmann

    Nick Tippmann

    Partner, Tiptop Ventures

    "If you’re looking to work with the best, that’s Dreamfuel. Their coaching was a game-changer for me all the way through my first exit. Now as a VC, I recommend them to all my portco CEOs because I know first hand that it has the biggest impact on a founder’s success.”
  • Lee Roquet

    Lee Roquet

    CEO, Finch

    "This was perfect timing for me. Working with Dreamfuel has been lifechanging. I'm in such a nice mental balance space right now, and I'm sleeping so much better. I cannot say how much I look forward to my calls with my coach."
  • Tiffney Vivo

    Tiffney Vivo

    CEO, Theraprove

    “I'm a much better person today than I was before starting with Dreamfuel. Working with my mental performance coach has helped me approach major decisions with a clearer mindset, and I no longer feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest during high-pressure moments.”
  • Steve Travaglini

    Steve Travaglini

    CRO, Linksquares ('23 Pavilion CRO of the Year)

    "Dreamfuel came in when we'd hit a growth plateau. Since then, we’ve scaled from a couple dozen people to well over 400, have grown revenue by over 2,000%, received Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Businesses, and Boston Business Journal Best Places to Work."
  • Krishna Potarazu

    Krishna Potarazu

    Partner, JMI Equity

    “I probably underestimated the power in focusing on my mental game. But working with Dreamfuel has really set me up to be more present, strategic, and successful in my role. Same with on the homefront.”
  • Nick Wangler

    Nick Wangler

    President, Details

    “As a founder, it often feels like I'm juggling 12 completely different things and there are 15 different fires I have to put out. What's great about Dreamfuel's mental performance coaching is it really impacts every single one of them.”
  • Max Yoder

    Max Yoder

    CEO, Lessonly, a Seismic Company

    “At the height of my stress, Dreamfuel taught me techniques that I still rely on today. My family and I are forever grateful.
  • Vishal Sunak

    Vishal Sunak

    CEO, Linksquares (CLM Leader, Forrester Wave)

    “My mindset before using Dreamfuel was like riding a rickety wooden roller coaster. Now I’m on steel rails.”
  • Jon Speer

    Jon Speer

    Founder, Greenlight Guru

    “I can honestly say that without Dreamfuel our startup wouldn’t exist. Their performance coaching kept my co-founder, David, and I locked in and on track through a decade of trials until we got our exit event."
  • Christian Miller

    Christian Miller

    CEO, Dealer Trade Network

    “Being a CEO is just managing surprises, and in my past life I’d emotionally react to surprises and give way too much negative energy to these surprises. Dreamfuel has most importantly helped me be comfortable in uncomfortable situations.”

  • Walid Halty

    Walid Halty

    CEO, Monalee (Forbes 30 Under 30)

    “My Dreamfuel mental performance coach kept me laser focused through the highs and lows of building and selling my first startup. Now, at MonaLee I’ve deployed their coaching across my entire exec team, and we’re growing faster than ever with zero drama at the top.”

We are mental performance coaches who focus on founders and CEOs instead of professional athletes. The techniques are the same, and so is the drive of our clients, but the dreams matter more to us because they matter more to the world.

The Science Behind Dopamine

"Why is my team experiencing burnout?"

Believe or not, there's a science behind it. Dopamine, the fuel for motivation, thrives on variety and recognition. When tasks lack stimulation, dopamine levels plummet—leading to burnout. 

Our solution? Shift the focus from achievement to effort. We guide leaders in rewarding themselves and their teams strategically, triggering dopamine consistently.

People think mindset is positive thinking, but it is so much more than that. To consistently embrace the roller coaster of life, you have to target your thoughts, emotions, feelings, and even your physiology - they all impact your performance.
