Most founders feel lonely at the top — even surrounded by noise.
Accelerators give you a cohort, but they optimize for demo day. Conferences give you a crowd, but conversations stay surface-level. Online communities give you reach, but not proximity.
What actually moves the needle? Spending 6 days with 8 founders who are honest about what's broken in their business — and who care enough to help you fix it.
The Format
Small groups. Premium houses.
Unscripted intensity.
A Week Looks Like This
Arrive & Calibrate
Settle into the house. Share where each company truly stands — the real numbers, the real fears. No performance, no pitch.
Work & Collision
Deep work blocks in the morning. Afternoon problem-solving sessions where one founder's challenge becomes everyone's focus.
Commit & Leave
Each founder leaves with a 90-day commitment — written, witnessed, and followed up.

Who We Select
Not everyone gets in.
That's the point.

You're actively building — post-idea, pre-scale. Product in market, real users or real revenue.
Honest
You come to give as much as you take. No posturing. No hiding the hard parts.
International
Founders from Europe, LATAM, US, Asia — the mix is the value.
Committed
You block 6 real days on your calendar and you show up fully.
Not another startup event.
