If midnight Slack pings have you whispering, “I can’t do this for another year,” you’re not alone.
You’re not behind. You’re not unprepared. You’re in the waiting room between the life you’ve built and the one you’re ready to create.
I’ve been there.
Working a demanding job. Overflowing with ideas. Wondering if I was too late, too busy, or too uncertain to begin.
That’s why I created the Weatherproof Business Launchpad — a live guided experience for executive women in tech to finally move from idea to action.
In just 8 live weeks of coaching, you will:
✔️ Validate your idea with real conversations
✔️ Build a simple MVP you feel proud of
✔️ Start your first waitlist of beta users
✔️ Keep your job, your stability, and your energy intact
This isn’t a course. It is a small, powerful community of women like you, built around coaching, mastermind, and momentum. We go step by step together and celebrate each other's small wins as our own.
You’ll be supported by peers who get your world and guided by a method that has already helped over 1,100 women in tech build what they couldn’t build alone.
This program is built for full calendars, complex lives, and bold ideas that deserve a chance.
You only need 5 hours a week and the decision to start building your exit plan. Let your next Slack ping celebrate your wins, not extinguish fires.
Turn Your Idea into a Real Business in 8 Weeks
You don't have to build alone.

What You’ll walk away with
A Validated Business Idea

You’ll build something real and usable, even if it’s scrappy.
Your first beta users or paying clients

Sustainable, scalable, and not built on burnout.
So if you ever want to leave, you’ll know exactly how.
Valerio joined an early version of this program in 2024, back when it was open to men and still in beta format.
He secured his first beta testers halfway through and landed two paying clients shortly after graduating.
The same foundational Weatherproof Business™ process, just a simpler version.
We’ve stayed in touch. His momentum hasn’t stopped.

As the founder of Peopled, a bootstrapped tech startup, Giuliana came in with a challenge: she had already built an MVP, but then got outpaced by Asana while on maternity leave.
She wasn’t giving up. But she knew she couldn’t compete head-on with a big player and needed to pivot wisely.
Inside the program, we worked together to refocus her positioning, validate her niche with real users, and prototype a simple, strategic pitch.
The result?
Three high-value B2B leads with signed letters of intent, each positioned to finance her next development stage.
These are the same steps taught in the Weatherproof Business™ program.
She just applied them.

Ramona, tech executive / USA
16 beta users on the waitlist in 8 weeks
Ramona enrolled in WBL in June 2025 with a clear product vision, but a broad, untested niche.
She had a strong why and a bold concept, but struggled to stand out in a crowded space filled with better-funded competitors.
By following the Weatherproof Business™ method, she discovered a completely different customer segment than she first assumed and landed on a version of her offer that felt authentic, needed, and distinct.
By the end of the 8 weeks, she had validated her business with 16 beta users on her waitlist without even building a product.
Her beta launch is in October 2025.
Ruxandra, tech executive / France
3 clients on the waitlist in 8 weeks
Ruxandra joined WBL at the very last minute in June 2025, juggling a high-stakes job, a toddler, and an unstructured idea that had been sitting in drafts for months.
What changed?
She became one of the most consistent participants, showing up live, asking for feedback, and committing to real progress.
Using the Weatherproof Business™ method, she clarified her offer, organized her roadmap, and launched a lightweight MVP, all while keeping her corporate stability intact.
She ended the program with 3 waitlist clients and 1 actively using her MVP.
(And if not for her family holiday, she might’ve topped the leaderboard.)
Her beta launch is set for September 2025.
Rob joined me for a single private coaching session in November 2024.
By mid-January, he had already signed his first client and then eight more.
That’s 9 paying clients in 8 weeks. From one coaching session.
Now imagine what’s possible in 8 live weeks, with coaching, community, and a clear method.
If you commit to your goals, I’ll help you reach them.

You want a $10M business in 8 weeks (this is traction, not fantasy).
You’re looking for a purely theoretical course with no implementation.
You can’t commit at least 5 hours a week to your business right now.
You’re hoping for overnight success without putting in the work.
This is NOT for You if:
You want real coaching from someone who’s actually built a profitable SaaS.
You’re excited to build alongside other ambitious, high-integrity women.
You’re tired of guesswork and want a proven, step-by-step process.
You can commit at least 5 focused hours per week to move your idea forward.
You want a business that could eventually replace your corporate income.
You’re a woman in tech, ready to build something real on your own terms.
This Program is for You if:
Who This is For
(And Not For)
Is it for you?

How It Works

- Includes an AI-powered toolkit to simplify outreach, interviews, and testing, saving you hours each week.

Let's get started!
- You’ll get access to 5+ hours of video training that walks you through the Weatherproof Business™ methodology — the same method I used to build my own profitable SaaS (Le VPN) and that has already helped over 1,100 women in tech take their first confident steps into entrepreneurship.
- We’ll kick off with three weeks of weekly live coaching to build momentum early. Then, we’ll shift into a bi-weekly rhythm so you have time to implement — with Office Hours happening on the alternating weeks to keep you supported.
- Alongside the live guidance, you’ll have access to on-demand tools, digital templates, and a private community space where you can ask questions and get support when you need it most.
- If something feels unclear or you hit a wall, you’re never alone — just drop your question in the portal or bring it to the next Office Hours. I’m here to help you move forward every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
You won’t get penalized for success, upsold for support, or put through a generic funnel. You’ll work directly with me across 8 live coaching weeks, in a mix of group coaching, training, and mastermind-style support that flexes to your pace.
No equity taken. No gatekeeping.
Just a space to build something real, with guidance tailored to you.
That means direct feedback, real conversations, and relationships with peers who actually see you.

We’ll clarify your idea together, test it with real potential customers, and shape a model that works for your goals. Whether it’s SaaS, tech-enabled services, or something in-between — this space is for you.

- 1 hour to video training and workbook exercises
- 1 hour to connect with your Mastermind pod
- 2 hours to focus on building what matters
You don’t have to do everything. You just have to do the right thingsI’ll guide you through tiny, validated steps that build confidence and create momentum without burnout.
Some clients landed leads mid-program. Others built a waitlist of 10–15 beta users. Some took a quieter route and parked the program to revisit it when they had more space.
There’s no race. There’s just grounded momentum.
That’s not a gimmick. It’s alignment.
If this program isn’t right for you, I’d rather free up that space.
We start weekly, then spread out, so you have time to implement. Office hours happen on alternate Mondays.
The live coaching calls dates are: September 29, October 6, October 13, October 27, November 10, November 24, December 8, December 18.
You’ll get all call dates + calendar invites once enrolled.
You can ask questions in the private community anytime, and I’m in there daily.
For more complex topics, bring them to the next office hour or connect with your pod.
I don’t code either, and I’ve built a profitable tech business.
This program shows you how to test and build without needing to be technical.
You’ll move from idea to MVP with clarity, not complexity.
What I can say is: this program is designed to save you time, money, and energy you’d otherwise spend figuring it out alone.
If this path is clear for you, this program will meet you with structure, support, and simplicity.
If it’s not the right moment, I trust you’ll know.
You might spend the price of a coffee to host a landing page, but nothing more unless you choose to.
There’s no hidden upsell. No extra spend required.
There are safe, discreet ways to test and launch your business while still employed.
We’ll guide you through those paths and share our alumni’s examples.
You won’t be watching videos alone. You’ll be building with live coaching, peer support, and clear milestones.
This isn’t education. It’s confidence through action.
If you want ongoing support, you can stay in the community for a monthly fee, and keep getting access to office hours, new trainings, and alumni connections that keep you moving.
No pressure. Just continuity, if you want it.
Replacing your income takes time, but this gets you moving, while you’re still working, with clarity and confidence.
As one alumna said, “It’s a framework I know works. I’ll return to it when I have more headspace.”
You’ll know what to build, who it’s for, how to test it, and how to begin selling it.
The next steps are yours. I’m here to help you start with clarity and momentum that lasts.

Hi, I'm Ksenia.
Tech Entrepreneur & Business Coach
I help women in tech build real, profitable SaaS businesses, without sacrificing stability, sanity, or self-trust.
For 20 years, I’ve worked in tech. For 12, I’ve coached 1,100+ executives from Google, AWS, SAP, and more, guiding them through the messy middle between idea and income.
That’s why I created the Weatherproof Business™ Launchpad — a step-by-step process and live experience that meets you where you are, fits your full life, and gets you to paying customers with clarity and momentum.
You don’t need the “perfect” idea. You don’t need to quit your job. You just need a clear path, a small community, and a decision to start.
Have questions about whether this is the right fit? Let’s find out together.
