Nice to Meet You
I'm Chris Tottman — a founder, an operator and an investor, who also works directly with a small select group of founders.
Over the past 30 years, I've built, backed, and scaled companies across the globe. As a founding partner at Notion Capital, I've worked with more than 500 founders and helped grow a portfolio that now exceeds $1 billion in ARR adding 100s of millions in ARR per month.
I've seen the patterns that drive success and the bottlenecks that quietly kill momentum — in strategy, hiring, GTM, raising capital, and leadership.
My passion is working directly with Founders so I dedicate time to a small group of founders who want an experienced operator in their corner — someone who's built, invested, and walked in the founders shoes at every stage of growth.
More than 200,000 founders follow my insights on LinkedIn and read The Founder's Corner but this program is one on one and has real intensity and direct impact.
