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.
"A huge thank-you to my core group, Atlas Shrugged, for their unwavering support throughout this journey, and to the many Hampton founders who generously shared their insights and advice along the way."
"Having a IRL core group can become one of the most impactful resources you can have as a founder. It feels for me as a safe place where I can say whatever comes to my mind or share whatever I’m going through, from both my personal and professional life, and not only I won’t be judged, but I’ll be understood and supported as probably nowhere else."
"My Core group has helped me manage through a very difficult health crisis with my youngest daughter, coaching me through it at its darkest moments. It may have actually saved her life (and mine)."
"I spent a year in a virtual Core group, which was so valuable, but joining an in-person group took it to another level. There’s something so powerful about being in a room with other business owners who get it. Even though our businesses are different, the highs and lows are surprisingly similar. The feedback, accountability, and camaraderie are invaluable, both professionally and personally."
"My Core group has been a game changer and easily one of the best parts of Hampton for me. I’ve spent my whole life looking for people who think like I do, the ones who walk into a business and instantly start mentally running the numbers, who never get tired of talking business. These are my people. We share wins, challenges, and ideas, and the feedback is real, honest, and actually useful. It’s like having a personal board of sharp, driven entrepreneurs who just get it."
"My Core group has helped me understand a new asset class which earned me 7-figures return I wouldn't have received otherwise, sick.
"My Core group has helped me adopt a new management framework that has fixed poor communications, collaboration and missed quotas. This literally turned a cash consuming startup into a cash producing one within 8 months, making us millions"
"My Core group has become a safe space for me to talk about the pressures of being a founder. We have talked about everything from legal issues to spiritual experiences. I feel like it’s rare to find others that are going through the same things - I’m lucky to have this group."
"What you guys are doing is making a real impact in our lives and businesses. The community is second to none and you've assembled a world-class team. I'm very grateful to be a part of it."
"Hampton has been the single best network and knowledge investment I have made in my career. And I feel like I barely scratch the surface."
"Because of Hampton, I have a trusted peer group that I feel comfortable both shooting the shit with and talking through the really ugly, messy parts with."
"When I tell people Hampton has had a transformative impact on my life I feel like I sometimes get eye rolls. But when I tell them the stories, that’s when I think people get it."
"Is it worth it? Yes."
"My core group has been inspiring and pushed me to see opportunities I would have missed on my own. Something special is being built here, and I’m thankful to be a part of it."

"I'm thinking if I didn't have the money to pay for renewal I would literally go take a loan from the bank or friends to pay for it. Hampton changed my life to the better in so many ways."
"What you guys are building at Hampton is legitimately special. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. There's a lot of grifters out there, and what you guys have built is nothing short of amazing."
"If I were to capture the essence of this community, it would be this: Hampton is not just a network, it's a powerhouse of knowledge, inspiration, support, and growth."
"The group was super open and vulnerable from the get go, and the fact that it wasn’t specifically about business, put everyone on the same level. Doing stuff shoulder to shoulder made building relationships genuine and skipped pass business small talk. [...] In general the format was great for allowing lots of time for mingling and discussion which was really beneficial. [...] Definitely walking away with some budding friendships."
"There was laughter. Tears. Brutal honesty. Vulnerability. Strength. Stories that cracked me wide open and reminded me just how much women carry, build, and heal - for their families, their businesses, their teams, and themselves. What struck me most was the camaraderie. Real, no-BS support. Women lifting each other up, not just in words but with ideas, referrals, introductions, collaboration opportunities, and most importantly, presence."
"Some of the most successful people this week were the most curious. The ones with the biggest exits were still some of the hungriest. The ones with the biggest wins had a warchest of failures along the way. Incredibly grateful for Hampton for an amazing retreat and the network you’ve built."
"What is worth flying 2590 miles for one day after major eye surgery? ...Hampton retreat in Ojai, California. We listened to each other. Really listened. Running a company is not always sunshine and rainbows. There is pain, grief, and frustration. But saying, 'I understand' means so much when the person you're speaking with can relate and simply say, 'I've been there too.'"
"Just returned from the unforgettable Hampton Founder/CEO Retreat in Ojai. Stepping into a gathering of 49 incredible founders with over $30B in exits among us was not just an opportunity, but a profound honor. To my fellow founders, thank you for the wisdom, the laughs, and the memories. Here’s to carrying forward the spirit of curiosity, empathy, and mutual growth for each other and our teams."
"To be the stupidest person in the room. At Hampton, that's precisely how I feel. Beyond the incredible dinners, retreats, and meetups, where we rub elbows with 7,8,9-figure startup founders from all walks of life -- SaaS founders, real-estate visionaries, e-commerce experts, tractor supplies... there’s an extraordinarily supportive community. A space where you can connect with founders on similar journeys, eager to share advice and insights."
