Our passions: cars, electrification and building things
Straight talk for founders in energy, mobility, and smart buildings
Helping founders navigate growth with clarity and conviction
Harkador Partners helps founders and CEOs build exceptional companies in energy, mobility, and smart buildings.
We specialize in growing businesses from the idea stage to sustained recurring revenue. We draw on real operating experience and a genuine interest in building a thriving startup community. We’ve started, grown, sold, mentored, coached, and served in executive and board roles across companies from scrappy startups to public firms.
Harkador Partners offers executive coaching and strategic advisory services.
We also operate Harkavest, a sister firm that makes seed and pre-seed investments in founders we believe in. This keeps us close to where the market is heading.
We’ve sat in your seat, raising capital, managing boards, and scaling teams.
Harkador Partners offers direct, experience-based guidance to help you focus, execute, and grow sustainably. Being a founder or CEO can be exhilarating and also isolating. We combine operating experience and honest perspective to help you make clear decisions, overcome obstacles, and build a business that lasts.
Our work is grounded in experience, not theory. We start by listening to your goals, your constraints, and what’s getting in the way. Then we help you focus on solving the problems that really matter.
We’re not here to drop a strategy deck and disappear. We work alongside you. That might mean shaping board updates, mapping your growth strategy, or coaching through hard decisions.
Every engagement combines two principles:
Brutal honesty, delivered with care. We’ll tell you what others might avoid, and we’ll help you fix it.
Solutions that fit your business. Some companies are built for rapid scale; others are better served by deliberate, capital-efficient growth. We help you find the right path and commit to it.
The result: clarity, confidence, and measurable progress without unnecessary complexity.
Pragmatic. Candid. Built for real-world founders.
