Most employee coaching fails. It's inconsistent — a few sessions a year, then nothing. It's event-based, treated like a box to check rather than a habit to build. And it's not measurable, so leaders can't tell what's working or justify the spend.

The result: billions poured into coaching programs with no way to prove impact. Managers guess. HR reports activity. Behavior doesn't change.

Standard Coach makes coaching continuous and data-backed. Our AI guides every conversation with a proven framework (GROW), captures structured outcomes, and tracks skill growth over time — per employee, per team, across the company.

Coaches stay in control. The AI handles the scaffolding: prep notes, smart prompts, action items, follow-ups. What used to depend on a senior coach's memory now lives in the system — repeatable, reviewable, and measurable.

We're early, but the signal is real. Pilots are underway with teams across [industry/sector], and early users report [placeholder: e.g., "shorter prep time and more consistent follow-through on commitments"].

Metrics placeholders — replace with verified pilot data before sharing externally.

Stanley Hall Jr. has spent over a decade building enablement and coaching programs inside two very different environments — the nation's largest telecommunications company and the world's foremost leader in enterprise asset tracking and mobility — where the work drove measurable business impact: faster new-hire ramp times, higher quota attainment, and revenue growth tied directly to coaching and enablement execution, not just training completion.

This isn't a thesis. It's the product of years spent watching coaching programs succeed or fail based on consistency and measurement — and a decision to build the system that fixes both.

We're raising a [seed/bridge] round to expand the team, deepen the AI coaching engine, and scale go-to-market with design partners. We're looking for investors and partners who believe people development is infrastructure — not a perk.

Beyond capital, we want operators who've scaled B2B SaaS and can open doors to HR and enablement leaders at mid-market and enterprise companies.
