You’re not short on ability. You’ve hit the ceiling that ability alone can’t break.
Coaching for founders, leaders and Bitcoiners with a vision bigger than the room they’re in.
You’ve built the thing. And you can feel there’s a level you haven’t reached yet. That gap is rarely out in the market or the strategy. It’s the one thing your own expertise can’t diagnose, because you are looking through it, not at it.
Who these programs are for
Founders, leaders and operators working at a high level, or about to. Some run Bitcoin companies. Some run companies with nothing to do with Bitcoin. Some have never bought one. What they share is a real vision, the honesty to work on themselves, and the decisiveness to act.
The programs: five ways to work together
There are two ways in, depending on your world. Bitcoiners usually start with the 10-week group; deep-tech founders with a month of pitch coaching. Each opens into an ongoing room of peers. Elite 1:1 runs alongside, for those who want it. Tap any one to see what it involves.
The 10-week group Bitcoiner entry For Bitcoiners at the ceiling A small group of Bitcoiner peers, over ten weeks. The runway into the Bitcoiner mastermind.
Ten weeks with a small group of Bitcoiner peers operating at your level. For most high-agency people that room is rare, because the very independence that got them here tends to leave them the outlier wherever they are. Here it is the norm.
You will get real results inside the ten weeks, and it is how you and I find out whether the longer road fits. For most people it opens into the ongoing mastermind.
“One of the most perceptive, rigorous and transformative coaches I have encountered.” Ismael Dainehine · serial entrepreneur
Bitcoiner mastermind For Bitcoin founders and leaders The ongoing room, for Bitcoiners. Where the ten weeks leads.
A continuing peer group of Bitcoiners operating at your level, which is rare once your independence has made you the outlier everywhere else. Change happens faster in a group, and most people’s biggest growth comes from the question another founder asked that they would never have thought to ask themselves.
“My business coaching time with Daniel Batten has been life-changing… I’ve become more efficient at my bitcoin mining business and more confident in making decisions and in leading my team at Bitcoin Mining World.” Scott Offord · Bitcoin Mining World
A month of pitch coaching Deep-tech entry For deep-tech founders raising or pitching (and any one-off pitch, role or transition) Short, focused one-to-one on the outcome in front of you. How most deep-tech founders start.
A focused month of one-to-one work on a single outcome: the raise, the pitch, the meeting that decides things. It is how most deep-tech founders begin, and for many it opens into the ongoing deep-tech room. It also suits anyone with one specific near-term result in view, including landing a role in Bitcoin or getting through a transition clean.
“The pitch training I received from Daniel combined a skilled teacher with a robust mental model and a practical, deeply thought-out experiential learning process. I was amazed to see the transformation and levelling-up both in my own pitch and in those of my peers in the room in a single day, which I did not believe was possible. This core experience was central in our winning of our first round of investment.” Dr Vlatko Materić · founding CEO, Hot Lime Labs
Deep-tech mastermind For deep-tech founders The ongoing room, for founders commercialising hard technology.
A continuing peer group of deep-tech founders. The room that has, over the years, helped its members secure IP, raise seed and follow-on capital, and land first customers, alongside the leadership growth that made those results hold.
“This group is filled with super-inspiring people who help me be the best on a daily basis. With them, together with some world class coaching from Daniel, we’ve successfully been through multiple investment rounds in a challenging climate, built a great culture, and are now establishing our US beachhead. More importantly, this has been done off the back of my becoming a better leader to my team, and of myself.” Dr Eldon Tate · Inhibit Coatings
Elite 1:1 By referral For a small number of people carrying a mission at the highest level A year-round partnership: weekly one-to-one, the coaching thread held between sessions, and immersive retreats in Costa Rica.
The deepest and most sustained version of the work, for a handful of people at a time. Full weekly sessions with me, one-to-one. Between them, a unique AI coaching emulator I’ve designed based on 20 years of my own material and only for Mastermind and elite 1:1 clients introduces a scarily good level of accountability that I’ve used myself on multiple occasions to change habits I never thought I’d shift in this lifetime. And twice a year we go deep in person, at a retreat in Costa Rica, where the largest shifts tend to happen, away from the noise.
This is a standing partnership for the whole year, with a coach in your corner throughout.
“Daniel has given me the skills to express my value in compelling ways, and the confidence to do it with true conviction. The results that can be achieved with these skills are limitless.” …$1.5M raised at a 105% higher valuation, first Singapore deal. Robin Alden · CEO, iMonitor
Why this works when the other things didn’t
You have probably tried the courses, the books, the advisers. They mostly add: more tactics, more frameworks, more to do. As one client put it after a career of them, “I’ve done just about every course on this that I could find, but none of them came close to delivering the results that Daniel has.”
The work here runs the other way. It is subtraction. We find the belief or the blind spot quietly capping you, and remove it, so the capability you already have starts working in the places it hasn’t reached. You have out-read and out-worked most people already. The one thing reading and effort can’t reach is the belief you can’t see in yourself. That is the work.
What you actually get
Most people come to sharpen something concrete: land the message with the people who decide, win the round, lead the team, make the vision real. You will get that.
What makes it hold is the shift underneath it. A founder who can keep their nervous system steady under pressure does things other founders find impossible. So the results come twinned, the way clients describe them: the cap-raise and the calm, the contract and the clarity, the growth and the better life. Most say the inner change was the bigger win.
The proof, in one place
For more than a decade I have removed the blocks that cap capable people, across deep tech, business and Bitcoin, and the results show up on balance sheets.
“In one hour with Daniel’s guidance, I identified a self-limiting belief and was able to un-package it and rewrite my brain script.” Belinda Jennings · founder, School of Stuff That Matters
“Before the work I did with Daniel on my message clarity, I was winning business with 10Million dollar companies. After just 30 days working together, I’m now winning business with Billion dollar companies.” Bill James · Principal, Inspired Learning
“My businesses were already successful, but I needed help finding balance. Daniel helped me find that, and I’m very grateful for it.” Willy Woo · Bitcoin analyst
More recently, I took the same tools into public: helping change the narrative on Bitcoin’s environmental impact, work that opinion leaders across Bitcoin credited. You may have watched it happen.
