Founding Coach Program

The between-session tool your coaching clients actually use

Give couples, teams, and individuals a structured, private space to work on conflict between calls, turning the frameworks you teach into real practice. Credentialed coaches get full Gripely Professional, free for your first year.

Our approach

Progress over resolution

The breakthroughs rarely happen on the call. They happen in the messy week in between, when the old pattern shows up and your client has to choose differently in the moment.

Gripely is built for that in-between: name the issue, hear each other out, agree on one small thing to try, then revisit it next session. Your clients keep moving forward, and you get a clear record of the work they did.

Your privacy & security

Gripely is a reflection and communication tool for the space between sessions, not a records system. Keep sensitive legal, medical, or financial specifics out of it.

  • Encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest
  • Private by default, enforced at the database level (row-level security)
  • Secure sign-in via Clerk, a dedicated auth provider
  • We never sell your data

Gripely is not HIPAA compliant today. If that changes, we'll say so clearly.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gripely a good tool for coaches?

Yes. Gripely gives your clients a structured, private space to raise issues, propose changes, and reach clear agreements between sessions, so the frameworks you teach on calls get practiced in real life. It works for couples, teams, and one-on-one clients.

Can I use Gripely as between-session work for clients?

That is exactly what it is built for. Many coaches assign a Gripely space between calls: clients log what came up, practice naming feelings and needs, propose and try one small change, and you review the progress before the next session.

Is Gripely Professional really free for coaches?

Yes, free for your first year. Approved coaches in our Founding Coach program get full Gripely Professional at no cost for 12 months. No credit card to apply, and no charge until your year is up.

Which coaches qualify?

Credentialed coaches: ICF (ACC, PCC, MCC), relationship and couples coaches, executive and leadership coaches, and coaches certified through a recognized program. Share your certification in the application and we review each one.

How do I get access after applying?

Once we approve your application, create a Gripely account using the same email you applied with and Professional unlocks automatically. If you already have an account, we upgrade it for you.

Will I be charged later?

Your first year is completely free. After that it moves to our regular Professional plan ($29.99/month), and we'll remind you well before it renews, so there are no surprises.
