About Compadres
Compadres is a next-generation business growth practice. We exist for Founders and Entrepreneurs who are done trying to do it all alone, ready to find clarity, confidence, and business momentum.
Meet Clive — Founder, Advisor, Compadre
Clive isn’t a consultant. He’s a founder who has lived the highs and lows of entrepreneurship — from scrappy warehouse floors to global boardrooms, from NGOs to $100M exits, from broken bones to boardroom breakthroughs.
Over three decades, Clive has built, scaled, and sold ventures while cultivating a global network of founders, investors, and changemakers.
His scars are your wisdom. His wins are your playbook. His role? To stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you as a trusted partner, mentor, advisor — a true Compadre.
The Truth About Founders

feel lonely on the journey
feel overwhelmed
lack clarity or feel constantly distracted
lose their mojo along the way

Create New Futures
We call our work Creating New Futures because that’s exactly what happens when entrepreneurs reconnect with purpose.
Creating New Futures means finding clarity where there was confusion, optimism where there was overwhelm, and momentum where there was stagnation. It’s not about hustling harder and burning out. It’s about building ventures that thrive — commercially, creatively, and personally.
“The Compadres Growth Framework has ample ‘I’ve never thought of that’ moments.”
Ayumi Moore AokiFounder & CEO, Women in Tech
More Than Business Growth
This is not just about profit. It’s about entrepreneurs leading fulfilling lives, building ventures with impact, and finding confidence in their own leadership. Because when founders thrive, so do businesses, teams, and communities.
”Compadres helps me see the true scale of opportunity by crossing industries and verticals.
