The community
A vetted peer community, built founder to founder.
Focus on Founders is an exclusive, vetted membership for founders who want a peer group of like-minded business owners for the high-stakes decisions. We bring owners together across four pillars: connection, business, health, and growth. Monthly roundtable dinners, honest conversations, and people who are at the same point in their journey, not just people who have been there before.
Vetted membership
Membership is by application, so the room stays intentional and the standard stays high. You are sitting with founders who take it as seriously as you do.
Events across our four pillars
Roundtable dinners are only the start. We run learning sessions on the parts of running a business that catch every founder out, social events that build real relationships, events built around health, and peer support groups we call Founder Circles. Connection, business, health, and growth.
A peer group for high-stakes decisions
The hard calls, talked through with people who have made them. A sounding board you can trust when the decision is yours to make.
What we stand for
Three things we hold to.
Honest over polished
We would rather hear what went wrong than sit through another highlight reel. The honest version is the useful one.
Founders, not gurus
The people we put in front of you are building or have built a real business. The advice comes from experience, not a stage act.
Nobody builds alone
Running a business is isolating. We build the rooms and the relationships that make it less so.
The podcast
The conversations founders have when the recording usually stops.
Building, scaling, burnout, and mental health. The honest version, in your ears each week.
