About .Cocoon

The history behind .Cocoon goes back in 2014 when .Contriber Ventures started to invest in startups as an angel investor. Working closely with founders in the portfolio (now over 30 companies), Rein Lemberpuu saw that the lethal obstacles for startup growth are not inside the business domain but rather in the founder’s approach to business. All founders lack knowledge about their new venture in the early stages, but some of them learn and adjust faster than others. Why so? And even more importantly - can this be improved?

 

Having been first-hand entrepreneurs and leaders for more than 20 years in almost 30 different organizations from a unicorn to NGO-s and foundations, the founders of .Contriber Ventures Rein Lemberpuu and Rain Kivisik learned to love and nurture human qualities necessary to become a great leader. Every tech entrepreneur has a unique leadership potential that can be developed according to the needs of their company. Every leader is unique, and so is every business.

 

Approach

.Cocoon is a 1-year self-discovery and company growth program through personal mentoring. We start from your startup’s business challenge and find the link between the challenge and you (your perception - approach, attitudes, and behaviors).

The mentors of the program guide the participants to change their perception and grow their awareness, and founders can see new solutions that were unavailable to them before. 

  • We focus on your self-discovery 

  • We use your business challenges as a way to change your perception and grow your awareness 

  • Your personal growth is an unfair advantage that can boost the organization's growth as well.

Why

 

It is very rewarding to be able to support such growth, and it provides an unlimited source for learning about human mystery - that is the Why for the founders of .Cocoon that pushes to continuous creation and experimentation in the field of leadership psychology.

I believe that all our barriers are made by ourselves, therefore with proper support, we can also take them down.

I am fulfilling the role of a mentor every day as an angel investor. Even if I enjoy it as an add-on to my investment strategy, then it can be done much more professionally and .Cocoon is excellent in filling that gap for me.

I believe our perception of the outer world is the reflection of our inner world. If we arrange and coordinate our inner realms, it will also reflect in the physical world.

Connecting, thus strengthening the inner peace and joy, while also dissolving limiting believes about ourselves, others and the world by applying conscious, systematic work, will inevitably bring ever-increasing success on every level of life..

Listening to other founders' stories and sharing my own journey is what drives me. I believe such exchange to be essential in leading a successful venture and a satisfied life.
