About

Hampton was born out of the experience of Sam Parr and Joe Speiser - both ambitious entrepreneurs with multiple exits.

In 2014 when Sam was just starting his first company, he met Joe and a small group of other founders. They informally met every month to talk shop: whose business was struggling, how to get more customers, how to part with a co-founder. All the things you can’t google, the questions with hard-to-find answers.

It’s no coincidence that they were all successful and all sold their businesses at the same time. The group advice, support, and connection were invaluable.

So, they decided to make the groups possible for other founders.

A core group you can trust, a private community you can learn from, rely on, and celebrate with.

That’s what Hampton is for.
