Each applicant undergoes a rigorous interview and vetting process, with only a 10% acceptance rate. Participants must be founders, CEOs, or CTOs of AI startups.
"Every minute and every hour matters. As a founder, you must spend time on what is most important. Spending a weekend in nature, planning for the future in an environment where your best ideas are flourishing was such a good investment."

"This retreat completely changed my perspective on so many areas of my business. I feel more confident and connected than ever. So many great people that I can count on."

"This is for you if you want to find more headspace and focus. When I arrived here, I had a lot of busyness in my head. Now, I am at peace, focused on what matters most, and filled with optimism. The hosts were amazing, and I benefited greatly from my interactions with the other founders."

Coaching has long been a secret superpower in the start-up world that is now becoming increasingly popular among entrepreneurs as a tool for personal and professional development. Coaching demonstrates a leader's dedication to growth and can fast-track progress while also providing emotional resilience in tough times. When it comes to your business, you’re the leading expert; however, if you’re running a successful, rapidly growing startup, new challenges will inevitably arise with greater frequency, requiring ever-expanding skills.
