For conscious entrepreneurs looking to scale their company…

If you're solving meaningful problems by challenging the status quo, we built this for you.

Apply to the Fall Cohort
In Person | KINN | Venice, CA

Starts: Tuesday, October 21, 2025

Are you a seed or early-stage founder looking to achieve faster results with more focus and certainty?

Whether you’re trying to build a team, secure fundraising, close your first few sales, or finalize your product… going at it alone is hard.

  • Reinventing the wheel drains runway... building systems and playbooks from scratch costs you months you don’t have.
  • Burnout hits quick... without guardrails, you overwork on the wrong things and underinvest in what matters.
  • No sounding board leads to blind spots... without trusted peers, you miss feedback that prevents costly mistakes.
  • Self-teaching slows growth... founders who tap proven frameworks and networks move 10x faster.
