Great Leadership
Unlocks Everything

Empowering founders, executives and teams to grow with clarity, confidence and purpose.

Great leadership unlocks everything.

I'm Kara Weber, founder of Outperform Advisors. I've enjoyed an exciting career building companies and creating new markets - as a founder, C-suite exec (CEO, President, COO & CMO), VC and board member. I led venture-backed companies through launch, growth, scale, exits and post-merger integration. Companies like Rubicon Project, AOL, Adap.tv, Dapper Labs and Happy Returns, backed by firms including Sequoia, Upfront, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue and NEA.

Leading was my career. Optimizing performance is my passion.

Today, I bring that passion to the fore as an executive coach, M&A advisor and leadership session facilitator. The common thread through the work? Better outcomes for what matters most in successfully building and scaling companies: the people.

It all comes down to leadership, and I'm here to help.

Founder & CEO, Series A Fintech Co.

"Kara was by my side through every phase of our M&A process — from the first conversation to final integration. What made her invaluable wasn't just her knowledge of the process, but her ability to help me keep leading and growing the business while managing the deal at the same time. She helped me keep the team energized, negotiate terms with clarity, and navigate the integration, culture shifts and changes that followed — including to my own role. I could not have done it without her. Kara is an unstoppable force with the rare ability to inspire and create change while building immense goodwill."
