Why Most Founders Stay Stuck

As a founder, you’re probably working 60, 70, even 80 hours a week doing everything it takes to keep your startup afloat.

But here’s the truth: almost none of that time is spent working on the business.

Working in the business means managing sales, putting out fires, handling operations.

Working on the business means stepping back to see the big picture, making strategic decisions, and building the systems that let you scale.

Without that regular space:

  • Big decisions drag out

  • Growth opportunities pass you by

  • The company runs you, instead of you running it

Your Monthly Reset Button:

The Startup Founders Group

It’s where you step back from the grind once a month and step into a regular space for perspective, strategy, and growth.

What makes it different:

Cross-industry:
Fresh ideas that break tunnel vision.

Non-competitive:
No two members with directly competing businesses.

Anywhere access:
Join from anywhere in the world on Zoom.

This is a curated mastermind for ambitious founders scaling their businesses.

The inspiration for this group

“I was in founder groups for over seven years that met in person for a full day every month. That’s almost 3x the time commitment of this group, and it was undoubtedly one of the best investments of my time and energy I’ve ever made.”

— Jeff Marinucci, facilitator & expert thought partner

The 1% That Multiplies the Other 99%

We meet for three hours, once a month. That’s less than 1% of your working time… and it’s this 1% that will make the other 99% more productive, profitable, and strategic.

You already make time for high-stakes conversations: Investors. Boards. Top clients.

This is the meeting that strengthens you. And when you’re stronger, every stakeholder benefits. 

“Skipping this is like refusing to take a pit stop in a race because you ‘don’t have time’… and then losing because you ran out of fuel or blew a tire.”

This group is for founders who are:

  • Early- to mid-stage and ambitious

  • Growth-minded and curious

  • Willing to share openly and support others

  • Ready to commit to building trust and momentum

Some Things You Might Be Asking Yourself Right Now

  • Why 3 hours? That seems like a long time.

    Because founders need more than surface-level conversations. Three hours creates space for real problem-solving, meaningful collaboration, and action planning.

  • What if I can’t attend every month?

    Membership dues are paid monthly whether or not you attend. That’s intentional. It protects the group’s stability and encourages you to prioritize these sessions like you would a board meeting or investor pitch.

  • Why a year-long commitment?

    Show up for you, show up for the rest of the group. Trust compounds. Results compound. A year of showing up together builds the kind of relationships and insights that change how you run your business. Of course, if life happens (your company closes or a major personal event hits), we’ll work with you.

  • What makes this group different?

    It’s small (~10 members), non-competitive, and cross-industry. That combination sparks insights you can’t get in siloed groups. Plus, it’s guided by an expert thought partner who brings years of experience working across startups and multiple industries, and participating in and facilitating mastermind groups like this.

  • When does it start?

    The first meeting is Wednesday, October 29, 2025. Ongoing meeting day and time will be set by the first few members who commit. Spots are limited.
