Starting a company is lonely.
You have to make difficult decisions every day with imperfect information on problems you’ve likely never faced before. It’s daunting.
In our experience, the best way to overcome the challenges is to learn from the wins and mistakes of others, and to surround yourself with founders who’ve been there, done that.
Whether you’re in the thick of it in New York City or San Francisco, or you’re a SaaS founder in Iowa, finding your people is tough.
But when you do find them, it’s life changing.
And that’s what Hampton is for.
Joining Hampton gives you immediate access to a tribe of founders and entrepreneurs who are going through the same things as you. Members consistently call it “life changing”.

Who's right for Hampton...and who isn't?
The average Hampton member has $23M in annual revenue,
but we have a minimum requirement of at least $3M in
revenue or $3M in funding or a previous exit valued over $10M. Most
members are digital startups and you must be a founder
or CEO. Your 8-person Core group will have similar sized
businesses in similar industries.
Each applicant is interviewed and highly vetted with
only an 8% acceptance rate. To keep Hampton intimate
we're limiting the community to only 50 new Core
groups.
