Your Company Is Scaling. But your Capacity Isn't.
Building a high-growth startup tests much more than your strategy or execution.
It tests your nervous system, your relationships, and your capacity to lead under relentless pressure.
Most founders try to "push through."
But when your nervous system is dysregulated, everything suffers:
your decisions, your ability to regulate, your creativity, your health.
REWIRED is designed to upgrade your inner operating system.
REWIRED gives you the tools to navigate high-growth entrepreneurship as well as a
peer community of founders who actually get it, where you can be honest, supported, and challenged to grow.
→ Regulate your nervous system under high pressure
→ Build authentic connection with peers who actually understand
→ Make decisions from a grounded, embodied state
→ Sustain high performance without breaking yourself
REWIRED is a 6-month biology-first system developed for founders who want to build both their company and their capacity to lead it.
We teach founder-proven science-backed nervous system regulation, emotional mastery, and somatic intelligence, while building a peer community of founders to thrive together.
Most founder programs, coaching and accelerators focus on strategy, soft-skills or fire-fighting (when it's too late).
REWIRED addresses what's underneath:
Nervous System Intelligence – Learn to regulate under pressure, not just "manage stress"
Emotional Mastery – Move beyond "stressed" and "fine" to real emotional granularity
Somatic Wisdom – Your body knows what's coming before your brain admits it
Relational Healing – End founder isolation through authentic peer connection
Identity Transformation – Deconstruct the "hustle myth" and lead without armor
Sustainable Performance – Build from fullness, not depletion
REWIRED is grounded in research and accompanied by leading entrepreneurship scientists in the field of entrepreneurial psychology and behavior, with participant development systematically measured over the course of the program.

You're an early to mid-stage founder (pre-seed to Series A/B) who is:
Self-aware – You know something needs to shift, and you're open to doing the inner work
Committed – You're willing to invest 6 months in upgrading your capacity
Open to vulnerability – You're ready to drop the armor in a safe, trusted space
Building something meaningful – You're in this for impact, not just exits
You're Ready for REWIRED If You Want To:
Lead with clarity – Make better decisions under pressure, not reactive ones you regret
Build authentic relationships – Navigate co-founder dynamics, investor conversations, and team leadership with more skill and less friction
Regulate your nervous system – Actually understand what's happening in your body and how to shift states intentionally
End the isolation – Connect with peer founders who get it, in a space where you don't have to perform
Sustain high performance – Build for the long haul without burning out, numbing out, or checking out
Challenge limiting patterns – Deconstruct the identities and beliefs that keep you stuck (perfectionism, proving, over-functioning, control)
Thrive, not just survive – Experience what it feels like to lead from fullness, creativity, and joy, not just grinding through
This program is not for founders looking for quick fixes or surface-level wellness.
After 6 months in REWIRED, you'll have:
Tools to regulate your nervous system in real-time – under pressure, in high-stakes moments, when you're triggered
Emotional and somatic literacy – You'll understand what you're feeling, where it lives in your body, and how to work with it
Clarity on your patterns – The unconscious beliefs, identities, and strategies that have been driving your behavior (and how to shift them)
Healthier relationships – With co-founders, team, investors, and yourself—grounded in regulation, repair, and authenticity
A peer support network – Founders who truly get it, who you can be real with beyond the program
A personal sustainability plan – Concrete practices and boundaries that allow you to lead for the long haul
Measurable transformation – Pre/post assessments track changes in stress, burnout, resilience, emotional regulation, and more
A new way of being – You'll lead differently. Decide differently. Show up differently. And it'll feel more like you.
Lead Facilitator
Bianca Gfrei
After scaling two health-tech startups (Rootine and Kiweno, both acquired) and going through Techstars NYC, Bianca stepped away from her CEO role to train in somatic therapy, neuroscience-based emotional healing, and nervous system regulation.
Since 2020, she's coached 500+ founders individually and guided 1,000+ leaders through transformation programs and workshops.
Specialization: Nervous system regulation, trauma-informed work, founder wellbeing
Bianca doesn't just teach this work, she's lived it. And she's built REWIRED for the founder she wishes existed when she was in the thick of it.
