An advisory board of interesting and successful founders you meet with IRL every month for life.
Hey there,
I founded my first company at 24 years old and sold it at 31.
I personally made tens of millions of dollars (after taxes).
I’m saying this up front so you know that I’m not some joe schmoe - I’ve run a successful company and know how hard it is.
If you’re reading this, then you’re:
-
a young CEO/founder
-
Your company is in the internet, tech, or digitally enabled
-
You're doing millions in revenue
-
Based in New York City
Which means… you’re a freak!
A rare breed. There aren’t many out there like us.
It also means you’ve outrun your peers. Which is dangerous.
Which is why its no surprise when I reveal: my secret weapon for running a successful company was an advisory board of interesting and successful founders I met with every month (in real life, not on Zoom).
Because the higher you climb, the fewer people you can really talk to when you’re staring down a $50 million decision.
That’s where Hampton, my company, comes in.
We vet and curate seven other handpicked internet founders who run successful companies like you.
Then, one of our trained moderators leads 10 in-person meetings a year with you and your Core group.
We have over 1,000 members in the Hampton network with local chapters in Austin, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, Toronto, London, Miami, Denver, Dallas and Boston.
We’re in the process of creating Core groups for New York City.
Here’s how it works:
-
Apply below. My team and I will research you and your business to make sure you fit the community (internet, digital, tech-y startups between $3m and $50m in revenue).
-
Interview. If approved, we’ll interview you to see what you’re about.
-
Get Matched. You’re paired with 7 other founders at your level. It takes 90 days.
-
Meet Monthly in New York City. Have radically honest, fully confidential conversations that sharpen everyone with our trained moderator.
We’ve seen it thousands of times: founders who join Hampton make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and stop feeling like they’re building alone.
That’s it.
If you’re serious about getting sharper, scaling smarter, and avoiding the slow plateau, apply now.

Sample answer
What our members are saying
My company was a cash flow nightmare and I wasn't sure what to do next. I dove deeper into the community and found people who offered real help—vendors, strategies, and hope when I needed it most. Hampton saved my business when everything felt like it was falling apart.
I was facing a dark, dark time affecting every area of my business and my Hampton Core group helped me work through it ridiculously fast. Now we are profitable, growing, and I’m making more personal income than before.
In 6 weeks Hampton completely changed how I think about my goals. I raised them by 10x and cut my timeline by 5x. Yes, I found great consultants and recommendations, but the real value is the mindset shift that could turn my investment in membership into millions.
