Mentoring & Coaching for Founders and Entrepreneurs

Founder Mentoring

Build something meaningful — without losing yourself in the process.

Mark Scott — Founder Mentor at Torus Tree

You can build a successful business and still feel stuck, disconnected, or unclear on your next move. That's not a strategy problem. It's a leadership problem — and it starts inside.

I mentor founders and entrepreneurs who are building something that matters — and want to do it without burning out, second-guessing every decision, or losing sight of why they started.

I've built over 25 businesses. Co-founded Bella & Duke — one of The Sunday Times' fastest-growing private companies. Won Entrepreneur of the Year. Served as Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of Edinburgh.

And I've learned more from the hard seasons than the successful ones.

  • You've built momentum but something feels off
  • You're scaling a team and want it to feel human
  • You want clearer thinking and stronger self-trust
  • You value honesty, depth and grounded conversation
  • You're not looking for hustle coaching or motivational hype
Mark Scott speaking — Torus Tree

My Approach

Practical. Reflective. Human.

I bring together real-world business experience with the deeper work of leadership — because clarity doesn't come from force.

Real business experience

Building and exiting multiple businesses — including a £30m+ company. Strategy, culture, fundraising, exits.

Strategic clarity

Helping you see what actually matters next — cutting through the noise to find the right move.

Culture & leadership

How you show up shapes everything. Culture isn't soft — it's what allows businesses to scale without breaking people.

Nervous system awareness

Because your best decisions don't come when you're operating from stress, fear or depletion.


What People Say

In their own words.

"What makes Mark different from most coaches is that he doesn't simply tweak behaviours or offer surface-level advice. He has a rare ability to strip away ego and get to the true core of who you are — the beliefs, drivers and patterns that actually shape how you think, lead and perform. It can be confronting at times, but that's exactly why it works. From that place of honesty and clarity, he helps you rebuild with far greater purpose, confidence and alignment. Mark combines deep personal work with real-world experience in sales, leadership and building successful businesses. That balance means the insights are not only reflective and thought-provoking, but also highly practical and applicable. Perhaps the most powerful thing about Mark is the belief he holds in the people he works with. He has an ability to see what you are capable of — often before you see it yourself — and that belief is incredibly motivating."

Why This Sits at Torus Tree

Leaders carry more than most.

Mark Scott at Torus Tree

Torus Tree exists to support people who help others — and founders and leaders carry more than most people around them realise.

Most people spend a large part of their lives at work. That means the quality of leadership inside businesses quietly shapes how people feel every day.

This mentoring sits alongside breathwork, energy healing, bioresonance and ceremony — not as a contradiction, but as a continuation. Each is a different doorway. All serve the same intention: clarity, confidence and alignment.

Support the person at the centre — and the ripple spreads far beyond them.
