"It’s not necessarily someone’s going to wave a magic wand and all your problems go away. It’s a case of you just get somebody who understands, knows what the problems are and knows what the pitfalls are to support you in making the right decisions."

"I’ve been able to talk to a friend and peer at a time when the business is under pressure and strained in a way which has helped me remain on task. It’s given me additional bandwidth when the company’s been under pressure from outside."

"It’s far better to work with people who’ve been through this process than people who have not. The Grafter gives great advice and really cares about what it means"

Rach Murphy - CEO of The Grafter

After exiting for £13.3 million in 1,000 days, I built The Grafter so no founder has to figure it out alone. Now I teach it, with a team of Exiteers™ by my side.

Rach Murphy

Founder of The Grafter

The isolation every successful founder faces.

You've built something real. You're leading a team. But no one told you how lonely this part would be.

  • Every decision sits on your shoulders.
  • Friends don't really get it.
  • Everyone expects you to have all the answers.

Even the most capable founders need someone in their corner — not cheerleaders, but peers who've walked the path.

Bringing Everyone Together
Bringing Everyone Together

The certainty you’ve been missing.

Most business owners wait too long to ask the right questions — about growth, succession, exit, or what they actually want next.

The Grafter gives you structure, perspective and advice that's actually been tested in the real world.

🎯
