A curated 4-day retreat for bootstrapped founders, with a full year of peer-to-peer support.
Founder Council is a curated program designed to support bootstrapped tech founders through a combination of intimate peer groups, mentorship, and immersive retreats. The initiative aims to foster meaningful connections and provide practical guidance for founders seeking sustainable growth without external funding.
Key Features:
• Quarterly Peer Groups: Participants are organized into small, carefully matched groups that meet virtually every quarter. These sessions focus on addressing each founder’s specific challenges, facilitated by experienced mentors to ensure productive discussions.
• Annual Retreat: A highlight of the program is a four-day retreat held in a French village, bringing together 24 selected founders and hand-picked mentors. This bespoke experience is tailored to the cohort’s needs, offering deep dives into business strategies, personalized mentorship, and opportunities for genuine connection away from daily distractions.
• Continuous Community Engagement: Beyond structured meetings, Founder Council offers ongoing virtual workshops, goal-setting sessions, and Ask Me Anything (AMA) events. Members also receive one-on-one expert consultations throughout the year, adapting to evolving business needs and fostering a supportive community.
• Experienced Leadership: The program is led by Christina Hug, who brings over 12 years of experience in building global networks for founders and tech leaders. Her expertise ensures that participants are connected with peers and mentors who can provide relevant insights and support.
Founder Council is ideal for tech entrepreneurs who have achieved initial traction and are navigating the complexities of scaling profitably without external investment. The next cohort begins in January 2025, and interested founders are encouraged to apply to join this transformative experience.
