outcomes-visual-2x

Hey there,

My co-founder and I have started and sold startups worth over $500m. So, we know that by the time your company hits ~$5m, something happens: you’ve outrun your old circle.

Now you’re making $50m-level decisions alone. No peers who truly get it. No one to challenge you. No one to show you the blind spots. The real risk isn’t blowing up. It’s drifting into “good enough” - and waking up ten years later realizing you didn’t live up to what you could have. That’s why we built Hampton.

We hand-pick eight founders at your stage, in your city, and put you in a Core group that meets face to face every month. It’s your personal board of directors for business and life.

In Hampton, nothing’s off the table: hiring execs, M&A, family balance, managing $100M portfolios, even the ugly stuff like layoffs.

You’ll get the push, the perspective, and the accountability you can’t get anywhere else. Every member is vetted. Only ~8% are accepted. Each group is carefully curated. That’s why Hampton works - and why members stay.

Apply now. Groups fill in cycles, and once a seat closes in your city, it’s gone until the next.

Sam Parr

Co-founder of Hampton

Host of My First Million Podcast

Hampton works because we have
a strict vetting process.

We manually vet, research and interview everyone who joins Hampton. Otherwise we’ll just turn into another garbage community with non-serious operators.

Here’s how it works:

1

Apply

All members must be the founder or CEO of an internet, digital, or tech related startup doing at least $3m in revenue or $3m in funding or have had above a $10m exit. And, of course, live in a city where we have a Chapter.

2

Interview

If you look like a fit “on paper,” we set up a vetting call. This isn’t a sales pitch - it’s a conversation to hear how you think, what you’re building, and your energy.

3

Community Veto

Current Hampton members can veto applications. This keeps the community high-trust and filters out bad actors or unethical founders.

4

Review

Hampton founders Sam and Joe review every single application and interview and approve/deny each member.

5

Invite

If approved, you’ll get the invite! Once you’ve paid your dues, you’ll get immediate access to the digital community. Invites usually come ~2 weeks after your interview

6

Core Group Placement

Core group placement happens ~90 days later (it’s carefully curated and can’t be rushed).

Hampton has chapters in 13 cities

Why Hampton Works

Core groups are in person only and made up of Hampton members in your city. Because after a breakthrough meeting - it’s hard to get drinks and dinner with your Core group over Zoom.

Each city has a Hampton City Lead. They’re your concierge for intros in (or out) of your city.

And of course, our famous events. Famous authors or founders of $100 billion companies, your local City Lead hosts the best events that are relevant to your chapter.

For many events we encourage you to bring your family as building a successful company (and life) impacts them too.

Seat limits per city. We only allow 8 members in each Core group. New Core groups are placed in cycles. So, if interested, please apply now otherwise you’ll miss this cycle’s window.

Chapter waitlists open where density isn’t ready yet.
