Why do the fastest-growing businesses collapse?

Research from the Kauffman Foundation, using data from the Inc. 5000, shows that nearly two-thirds of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. fail to become self-sustaining within several years of rapid growth — not because growth is bad, but because the business was not built to support it.

Expansion exposes weak strategy, fragile systems, and missing advantages.

Growth without structurecreates stress
Growth without leveragecreates burnout
Growth without moatscreates competition

Don't scale to fail.

Learn how to build a business that can handle growth — with the right structure, the right advantages, and the right strategy behind it.

Any of these sound familiar?
  • 1
    Have you tried to scale before and failed?
  • 2
    Is your strategic planning more planning than strategy?
  • 3
    Has your market differentiation eroded?
  • 4
    Are you a founder struggling to formulate a growth strategy?
  • 5
    Are you a business leader that wants to strengthen your market position?

This course was built for you.

Why This Course Exists

Like basketball, business is a competition yet so many business leaders are trying to win with great skills but without a game plan tailored to their competition.

Too academic
Too shallow
Too theoretical
Too complicated to use

Moat Stacking™ was created to give business leaders a way to view and architect competitive advantage to avoid burnout and unnecessary failure.

Entrepreneurs, private equity, or business leaders tasked with developing strategy, will better understand the Moat Stacking approach that is founded on proven models to establish and fortify business moats.

  • Identify the highest-leverage moat to build first
  • Work through strategic trade-offs in real time
  • Get outside perspective on your blind spots
  • Build a concrete execution roadmap
