the rituals members
run together.
we don't teach lessons. we run rituals, the same ones the best founders use to keep shipping when motivation runs out.
every week
your first week
a session with us.
every member gets one. we do those ourselves, so spots open in small batches.
the weekly commit
every founder posts the one shippable thing they will push this week. public, specific, dated.
wins + losses
celebrate the first sale, the first reply, the first user. and post-mortem what broke.
plan the week
thirty minutes to map the next seven days. members share boards, trade feedback, leave with clarity.
the room,
in real life.
we had 61 founders join us for growth night, at juntos in london. the chat kept going after.
