Real Conversations with the

Experts Your Business Needs

Ready for anything. Pressured by nothing.

Running a professional services firm north of $5M is a strange kind of lonely. The bigger it gets, the fewer people you can actually talk to about the things that keep you up at night.

The Founder Society is the room where that changes. Twelve times a year, a small group of services-firm CEOs sits down with one category-of-one advisor at a time: wealth, legal, tax, exit, talent, revenue.

No panels. No pitching. Just a real conversation about the decisions that actually matter, so you walk into whatever's next ready for anything and pressured by nothing.

Fourth Thursday, 2:00 PM MT. Annual enrollment. Limited seats.

Throughout 2026, distinguished colleagues join our work.

Talent strategists. Wealth advisors. Financial strategists. Exit architects. Revenue experts. Legal counsel.

Each is a category of one. You'll meet them throughout the year.
