A Brand & Growth Accelerator for Mission-Driven Founders

We Believe InWhat You’re Building

Let’s build your million-dollar mission together.

Why This Is Different

Programs teach.
Partners build.

Most growth programs hand you a playbook and wish you luck. We actually walk with you through the dark valleys and slay dragons together.

The old way

  • Advice from the sidelines.
  • A 12-week cohort, then goodbye.
  • Equity taken no matter what happens.
  • The same playbook for every business.
  • You execute alone in isolation.

The Trybe way

  • Operators, experts, and mentors embedded in your business.
  • Strategy to execution to exponential growth.
  • Skin in the game: our upside is your revenue growth.
  • AI systems custom built for your business.
  • You are never alone again.

We believe that building the future should not be a lonely business. Because your hero’s journey is worthy of good company. Backed by a special ops network of brand and growth experts in agentic AI operations, non-dilutive funding, content flywheels and non-salesy sales strategy.

Questions

Asked and
answered.

What happens in the first 30 days?

An operational audit of your whole business. Your 12-month roadmap to $1M, built together. The first systems go live in the first quarter.

What does 20% revenue share actually mean?

20% of the revenue we create together. Not equity. You keep your company. We own what we build together.

What if I’d rather not share revenue?

Choose the flat rate: $15,000 or $20,000 per month at the early-stage 50% discount. No revenue share. Cancel anytime.

Do you take equity?

No. We only discuss equity in the $1M to $10M growth phase.

What happens when I hit $1M?

You graduate and get automatic entry to: the $10M Founders Mastermind. The 3-day retreat. The investor room. The next mountain. The next level of the success and fulfillment ladder, unlocked.

Why only five founders per intake?

Because embedded execution is real work, and every founder deserves the depth of attention this level of building demands. Five is the honest number.

What is the 50 Founders Mastermind Retreat?

A multi-day, in-person event designed to help startups bridge the 7-figure to 8-figure growth gap. Set in a tropical resort, you’ll join other founders in a transformative journey to learn from serial tech entrepreneurs, investors and growth experts.

How long is the retreat?

Three days of sessions, networking, and all-inclusive resort fun. Elevate your understanding of startup growth and enjoy the sea breeze, all in one place.

Who is the retreat for?

Startup founders and co-founders looking to grow their business from 7 figures to 8 figures of revenue. Expanding through this gap requires new strategies, partnerships, team growth, and investment. Accelerator members attend free when they graduate.

What will I learn at the retreat?

How serial entrepreneurs navigate revenue growth through the startup journey, the mindset shifts that matter for founders, an inside perspective from investors, and more.

You are the future & we are betting on you. Because we show up for the founders, the entrepreneurs, the visionaries, the mavericks, the relentless. We show up for you!

what you are building
