    How this list is made

    Every name comes from a review of the coaches who show up in search results and in AI answers about founder coaching. Each entry quotes the coach's own site, links to the page it came from, and carries the date it was checked. Prices appear only where the coach publishes them, and the entry says what the figure buys. A coach whose site stops working comes off the list.
