The founders circle

We are a small, invitation-only circle of accomplished business founders who gather once a month in the western suburbs of Minneapolis.

Our evenings are unhurried and intentional. We connect with peers, cry about the latest Vikings loss, explore a new whiskey, unpack real challenges at work, and think boldly about what’s next.

What you won’t find: business cards, gossip, complaints, or anything resembling a Chamber, BNI, Lions, Rotary, or other networking group.

W e ’ r e d i f f e r e n t.

feel free to come to the

next meeting if you are:

successful & over 40

What do we mean by successful?

You’ve sold a business or still own one (mandatory requirement). You don't chase clients like some desperate vacuum salesman. Instead, people seek you out for guidance because you know your industry.

You probably have a second home (hopefully somewhere with a decent wine selection and a view), and a retirement plan that doesn’t involve working until you’re 80 or moving in with your children. And if you don’t, might we suggest visiting tempo-wealth.com

fun to hang out with

People gravitate toward you at networking or social events. People want to have a drink with you and solve all of the world’s problems. You make others laugh.

able to attend a once a month meeting in the western suburbs

We meet the first Thursday (unless it falls near a holiday) of every month typically at Winchester & Rye in Victoria.

willing to buy a round of drinks

This is what it costs to join the group. Your membership fee is to buy a round of drinks for up to 4 people. Don’t worry we won’t order that 10 year-old Macallen.

You only need to do this once per calendar year to be considered an active member.
