Virtual Peer Groups

Next cohort kicks off January 2025

because your network
matters

How it works

Our Founder Council program is designed to provide a structured, results-oriented, and high-accountability peer learning experience using our proven methodology for connection and business breakthroughs. Here’s how it works:

Clarity First

  • Before each gathering, we’ll help you map your current challenges and gain clarity on what will be most useful to bring to the group.

Peer Group matchMaking

  • Each peer group consists of 6 successful peers, carefully matched based on their business stage (companies must have annual revenues of $500K+).

  • Your core circle is made up of a maximum of 6 founders, but the Council Community is a global network of bootstrapped founders all invested in helping one another work through their challenges.

Guided by Trained Facilitators

  • Each group is led by a trained facilitator who guides you through a structured process, ensuring confidentiality and dedicated time for each member to receive peer support.

Quarterly meetings

  • Virtual groups meet four times per year for 4-hour facilitated Zoom meetings.

  • Every quarter, you will gather with your selected peer group to discuss your biggest challenges. Each member will have a chance to share their challenge and contribute their perspective to their peers’ challenges.

New Inputs and Perspectives

  • The facilitator will guide you through discussions, helping everyone to share and contribute effectively.

  • This shared experience approach fosters a judgment-free environment where you can gain valuable insights from your peers.

From Aha’s to Action

  • After everyone has shared, your facilitator will lead a reflection exercise to help you turn the insights you received into actionable steps.

Continuous Support

  • Between your quarterly meetings, you will stay connected with your peers through Slack, providing ongoing support and fostering deeper connections.

  • We will also host regular workshops and deep dives online, based on the top business challenges of the global group.

This comprehensive approach ensures that you not only gain clarity on your business challenges but also receive actionable insights and continuous support from a network of like-minded founders.

Circle of Trusst

No, that’s not a typo.

Founder Councils not only becomes a circle of trust with your peers but it is also a foundational support system where we hold each other up and help each other through the hard things.

This is where you come to talk about the shit you can’t share at dinner parties.

The Format

  • The first step is getting clear on what your core challenges are. Accepted Founders will have a 1:1 session with our team to map out the core challenges you're facing right now.

    Yes, we do this every quarter – challenges evolve and so do we.

  • Your peer group is formed! We will place you in a group of 5-6 other founders with a dedicated facilitator. Matching is based on company stage, challenge, and expertise to ensure maximum value.

  • Every quarter, we gather.

    Once a quarter, we come together (virtually) for four hours to tackle our challenges. Each founder gets the chance to share their challenge and receive valuable insights from the group. In turn, they also provide insights into their peers' challenges.

  • For those that want to take it a step further we will also match you with 1:1 virtual mentor meetings to help you move through your challenges even more.
