“I’m making massive, $50 million decisions in a vacuum. I need peers who understand my world.”

If you’re seeing this then that means you're interested in applying to join Hampton.

Wonderful.

This is an in-depth overview of Hampton’s offerings.

Due to confidentiality, we can’t tell you everything. For example, we don’t list our members and we never reveal conversations that happen within Hampton (though you might see some quotes that we were given permission to use for marketing purposes).

But we’ll do our best to tell you everything we can.

If Hampton interests you then please apply and, if we invite you to interview, you can talk with a Membership Manager!

This group will change your business, career, personal life - everything.

Successful people have had formal “you help me, I help you” groups for forever. It’s how they get ahead.

What makes Hampton different is our members. Our members are young, fast growing and tech-enabled. They’re successful with major wins and are still aggressive about growth in business and life.

Your Core group is made up of eight-ish startup founders and CEOs. Core happens in real life in your city 10 times per year (usually no meetings in December and August). Every meeting is led by a Hampton paid and trained Moderator.

How are Core groups made? We use our trademarked Mirror, Mentor, Mentee model.

In some categories, you’ll be ahead of your Core mates. Behind others. And in some, you’ll be shoulder to shoulder. But always held accountable.

For example:

• You scaled a company from $1m to $500m as a COO before founding your company.
• Maybe you’re single and childless - or raising three kids.
• You sold your company and have $35m liquid.
• Or you bootstrapped to $10M, or raised $20M in VC.

We look across company stage, age, family, wealth, experience, energy level, and communication style - and we mix it intentionally.

A Chapter has its own calendar of dinners, workshops, and one-off events run by a full time City Lead. The City Lead’s job is simple: build density, curate the room, and keep the bar high.

They are your concierge for intros, invites, and support.

Want an intro to someone who’s sold a business for $100m because you’re about to run a process? Your City Lead is on top of it.

Chapter events range from 10-person dinners to larger workshops with bestselling authors or founders of $100 billion companies. Attendance is capped to keep conversations intimate.

Sometimes our events are open to spouses and partners. This way you and your family can meet others like you in your city and create lifelong relationships.

Chapter events include:

• Dinners with 8 - 12 founders at a long table, diving into one topic (fundraising, hiring execs, M&A).
• Workshops with operators who’ve done it before - CFO breaking down “how I raised $100M and kept my board sane.”
• Signature Events like fireside chats with Hampton members who’ve built $1B+ companies.
• Micro-meetups organized by your City Lead or a Hampton member (a last-minute lunch, a workout, a small drinks group).

What we’ve seen happen in Chapters:

• A founder walked into a dinner looking for a VP of Sales. Walked out with three warm referrals.
• A member hit a liquidity event and was in shock. Two people at his Chapter dinner had been there before and helped him navigate the week after.
• A founder considering buying a $50M company was warned off the deal by another member who’d made the same mistake. Saved him years.
• Families becoming friends - kids end up in the same schools, spouses build their own support circle, vacations planned together. The community doesn’t stop at the founder.

You likely have daily questions that sound ridiculous if you asked a non-founder buddy:

“Does anyone know of a good concierge doctor in Denver?”
“Do you use a tool for video candidate assessments when hiring?”
“Anyone using AI for making powerpoints?”

“Oh boo hoo,” they’ll say. “Such first world problems you have.” 

Well guess what? First world problems are still problems.  At Hampton those aren’t eye-rolls - they’re solved in minutes.

Core is where you go deep. Your Chapter is where you build local density. The community is where you tap +1,000+ operators nationwide - on demand.

Some channels are strictly business: taxes, hiring, GTM, finance, M&A, product, fundraising, media, saas, and virtually all other industries.

Some more juicy: personal finance, parenting, shit-im-fucked (stories when you said: “shit...I'm fucked” The most viewed channel!).

And some that are breathtakingly ridiculous and wonderful: psychedelics, biohacking, how-i-spend-it.

Does anyone have a good lawyer who’ll help me QSBS stack? Anyone here intend to leave money to children? I have to lay 20+ people off soon, can anyone talk? What are people paying CFO’s for a post Series B startup?

A post in the community saying “this agency crushed it for us” is 10x more valuable than you Googling reviews. 

If after attending your first three Core Group sessions you don’t feel Hampton is worth it, we’ll refund your full Annual Membership fee. No hard feelings, no awkward calls.

A few important details: The $2,500 Initiation Fee is non-refundable; it covers onboarding, core group matching, and membership set-up.

You must attend your first three (3) full Core Group sessions in their entirety.

Refund requests must be submitted within 14 days of your 3rd session.

You’ll also need to complete a brief exit form.

If you opt out of being in a Core Group, you’re also opting out of this guarantee and no refunds are offered after 30 days from the start of your Membership.

This isn't designed for tourists. It’s for serious founders who are still deciding if Hampton is the right fit. If you show up, engage, and it’s not for you, we’ll make it right.
