I’ve been the founder writing handoff docs at 37 weeks pregnant. I've been the CEO taking calls from the NICU. Checking Slack while holding a newborn. Trying to decide which fire to put out: a missed investor email or a missed nap.
I'm Sam Gardner, mom of 3 and a former venture-backed founder. I’ve launched, scaled, hired, fired, fundraised, sold, and survived. That means I can step in and actually do the job. I’m a strategist, an operator, and a builder who understands what early-stage companies need.
I created The Continuity Company because no founder should have to choose between building a business and bonding with their baby. You deserve time to recover, time to be a parent, and time to breathe, without guilt and without wondering if your startup will still be there when you come back.
Founders need more than surface-level support. You need someone who can:
Prioritize what really matters
Handle the things no one else can
Know when to ask and when to ac
That's what we do.
