Salt Lake City's Most Exclusive Entrepreneur Community for 7, 8, and 9-Figure Founders

Success gives you more control over your business, but it also creates a different kind of pressure. When you're responsible for a growing company, there are fewer people you can call when the stakes are high or the answer isn't obvious. Employees want direction. Partners have their own interests. Friends may care, but they don't always understand what it's like to carry the weight of a seven, eight, or nine figure business.

Founders Club gives you a different kind of room.

Our Entrepreneur Community in Salt Lake City brings accomplished founders, operators, executives, and investors together in a highly selective peer network. It's built for people who've already achieved meaningful success and now want stronger conversations, better relationships, and access to others who understand what comes next.

What Membership Includes

Quality of Access, Not Quantity of Contacts

Membership is built around quality of access rather than quantity of contacts. Every member becomes part of the Salt Lake City chapter and the broader Founders Club network, so you're not limited to the people you already know or your own industry.

You might meet a founder who's already worked through the growth stage you're entering, an executive who's built the leadership structure you're trying to create, or an investor who sees your situation from a different angle. These introductions are intentional based on what you're building and where someone else's experience can help.

The goal isn't to fill your calendar. It's to make the conversations already on it more valuable.

Who Belongs in Salt Lake City

Selective by Design: Founders Mastermind Salt Lake City

Founders Club is selective by design. Our Salt Lake City mastermind is for founders, operators, senior executives, and investors with a meaningful track record. Many lead seven, eight, or nine figure companies. Others bring deep experience scaling serious businesses.

Revenue matters, since the problems change as a business grows, but it isn't everything. We look for people who make the room better. Members are generous with their experience, open to being challenged, and respectful of the trust between peers.

If you're looking for a CEO peer group in Salt Lake City where people understand the weight of leadership, this may be the right fit. If you're mainly looking for prospects or a place to pitch, it probably isn't.

Jake Karls
Midday Squares

Jake has taken the stage at our Annual Retreat and calls The Club “the only place where founders can speak without filters.”

His roundtable in Miami inspired dozens of members to take bold creative risks that transformed their brands.

Megan Klein
Little Saints

“Secured a $2.3M partnership from a dinner introduction.”

Through a single TFC dinner, Megan connected with a strategic investor who helped scale her beverage brand into national retail chains within six months.

Victoria Simmons

“The feedback loop here is insane. Every conversation turns into growth.”

Through the Club’s private Mastermind events, Victoria has found “her people.” She feels seen, heard, and understood. Connections made in the Club helped her refine operations and secure distribution partnerships across new markets.

Dom built relationships that led to the eight-figure sale of Mela, sparked by an introduction from a member inside the Club. Today, he continues to expand his network through the same high-caliber rooms that helped him win.

Salt Lake City brings together a wide range of growth businesses, from technology and finance to healthcare, life sciences, outdoor products, manufacturing, logistics, and professional services.
A local community lets you build relationships with leaders who understand the regional business environment while still gaining outside perspective. The result is a peer group that feels relevant without becoming narrow.

Members may come from technology, SaaS, financial services, healthcare, life sciences, outdoor and consumer products, manufacturing, logistics, real estate, professional services, e-commerce, and other sectors.
