Seattle's Most Exclusive Entrepreneur Community for 7, 8, and 9-Figure Founders

At some point, success stops making decisions easier. The business may be larger, the team stronger, and the opportunities greater, but the weight of the final decision still sits with you.

Employees look for direction. Partners bring their own priorities. Friends and family may support you, but few people understand what it feels like to lead a company where one decision can affect years of work.

Founders Club was built for that stage. Our Entrepreneur Community Seattle brings accomplished founders, operators, executives, and investors into a highly selective environment focused on growth, trusted relationships, and useful conversations.

What Membership Includes

Founders Club is designed around access to accomplished people and  conversations that have a reason behind them.

Every member gains access to the Seattle chapter and the wider nationwide Founders Club network. That means your circle can extend beyond your existing industry, company, or local contacts.

You may meet a founder who has already scaled through the stage you are entering. You may connect with an executive who has built the leadership team you are trying to create. You may hear from an investor who sees risk and opportunity from a different angle.

Introductions are intentionally curated. We look at what you are building, the challenges you are facing, and who may have relevant experience to share. The right introduction can lead to a sharper decision, a useful partnership, or a perspective you could not get inside your company.

The goal of the Entrepreneur Community Seattle is not to give you more people to know. It is to help you build stronger relationships with people worth knowing.

Who Belongs in SEATTLE

It is made for members of the Founders Mastermind Seattle who have made it big.

Founders Club is selective by design. Our Founders mastermind group Seattle is built for founders, operators, senior executives, and investors who have already achieved meaningful business success.

Many members lead companies generating 7, 8, or 9 figures in revenue. Others are experienced executives and investors with the track record and operating experience to contribute at the same level. Numbers matter because the problems change as a business grows. But revenue alone does not make someone a strong member.

Character matters too. The strongest members are generous with what they know. They contribute before they ask. They respect confidentiality. They are comfortable being challenged, and they are willing to challenge others when the conversation calls for it.

If you are looking for a CEO peer group Seattle where you can have honest conversations with people who understand the responsibility of leadership, this may be the right place. If you are still working toward that level, it may not be the right fit just yet. And if your main goal is to sell services or collect leads, Founders Club is probably not the room for you.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Seattle rewards ambitious companies, but operating in a market full of talent, competition, capital, and fast-moving industries creates its own pressures. Founders Club gives established entrepreneurs a place to discuss those realities with people who understand them.          

Seattle combines a deep technology ecosystem with major strength in life sciences, aerospace, maritime, manufacturing, logistics, e-commerce, and other innovation-driven industries.
A Seattle-focused founder community lets you build relationships with leaders who understand the local business environment while still learning from people whose industries and experiences may be different from your own.
There is no single niche.
Members may come from technology, SaaS, cloud software, AI, e-commerce, gaming, life sciences, healthcare, aerospace, manufacturing, maritime, logistics, professional services, real estate, consumer brands, and other industries.
Every member is vetted. What matters most is the level of achievement, the experience someone brings, and their willingness to contribute to the community.
Founders Club organizes in-person sessions across the Seattle area.
Virtual sessions are also available for entrepreneurs with demanding travel schedules or other commitments that make attending in person difficult.

Founders Club is designed for busy founders and executives.
You do not need to attend every event or conversation. We believe in focused participation and encourage members to engage with the sessions, introductions, and discussions that are most valuable to them.
