This is the best CEO community I've been apart of.
Founders helping founders.
Congrats to Sam, Joe, rest of the team.
I wanted to say thank you for building Hampton. I went to my first Foundations last week and am still blown away. 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.
Hey guys, just wanted to drop you both a Texas-sized thank you. Eden has officially been acquired, and the amount of support and answers (and even customers) that I have gotten from Hampton played such a pivotal role in getting me to this moment. I'm indebted to you both, and I thank you for the community you have built here!
Joining Hampton has opened doors to a world of new connections, friendships, and strategic alliances. It's been a year rich with learning, sharing, and endless inspiration. I'm profoundly grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a vibrant and supportive network. The value it adds to my life is immeasurable.
To the new faces and those considering joining, I often find myself enthusiastically sharing what makes Hampton special. 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.
If I ever need a kidney or broken out of a Thai prison, I know I can count on the six guys in my peer group (oh, and they're pretty good with business advice and emotional support too)
I've joined a lot of Founder communities over the years and Hampton is by far the most elite. The quality of the people and information is unmatched.
I've found game changing software tools, learned strategies that have been instrumental to our business, and even made some new best friends.
Entrepreneurship has always been a lonely journey. Not many of your everyday peers can relate to building businesses and the struggles that come along with that.
I joined an entrepreneurship peer group called Hampton 2 years ago. I've formed deeper relationships with a handful of members who have had a seriously positive impact on my life and business.
Founders who have been in the trenches themselves and can relate. They've helped me think bigger and get focused on the right things.
I highly recommend Hampton.
Dude this community should be illegal. We need a UI/UX designer BAD. And I was sent 3 options in 2 minutes in 24 seconds. I love my investors but Hampton has been more value-add than maybe anyone who's ever been on my cap table when it comes to day-to-day ops/needs
Went to my first Hampton event in LA last night and just wanted to say that this was (out of hundreds of thousands invested into other groups and events) the highest quality and most open-minded and welcoming group. It was the first time in probably two years I felt like I was actually having new conversations rather than being stuck in the same echo chamber.
So I wanted to thank you for that and say that already Hampton is kick ass
Last week I got to spend an incredible 42 hours off the screen with this kind of incredible breed of humans. 50 founders, +$30B in exits, countless conversations.
We explored vulnerability, honed our superpower, learned clarity of communication and leveled up our leadership.
To the other founders out there — find and invest in a tribe you can call your own. Never stop digging deeper into your own intensity to find your own harmony of tensions.
Someone I trust told me to sign up for Hampton. I had never heard of it, I didn't know what a Sam Parr is (still don't) or that these kinds of communities existed. I just blindly signed up.
I've been in since July and I've made 10 new friends who are living through the same shenanigans that I am going through and can relate to my struggles. And I wouldn't bat an eye if they 10x the price. The value is priceless.
This month is my Hamptonversary - and I'm not thinking to renew my membership or not. 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.
I connected with a lot of interesting, open minded, like minded people, and I became friends with a few. I'm learning a ton every day from Slack, I see what other founders are struggling with, how are they winning, what are the best practices, what are the latest trends in specific industry or a niche etc.
Things move so much faster - when I need a provider or a tool I'll just ask in Slack, I don't need to spend a ton of time doing research.

"I've joined a lot of founder communities over the years, and Hampton is by far the most elite. The quality of people and information is unmatched."
"Hampton gives me a space to be completely open about business and personal challenges with people who truly get it."

We manually vet, research, and interview everyone who joins Hampton. Less than 8% of applicants are accepted.
All members must be the founder or CEO of a digital or tech-enabled 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 chapters.
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.
Current Hampton members can veto applications. This keeps the community high-trust and filters out bad actors or unethical founders.
Hampton founders Sam and Joe review every single application and interview and approve/deny each member.
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 a few days after your interview.
Core group placement happens within 90 days of joining (it's carefully curated and can't be rushed).
Tell us about yourself and your business. If you meet our requirements, we'll be in touch to schedule your interview.
Takes less than 2 minutes to complete.
All fields required unless noted.
Hampton will store and process your personal data as described in our privacy notice. You can opt out at any time.
It's an investment.
Of your time and money.
Running a business is hard. You're exhausted most days. You don't want to talk with others.
And that's totally fine.
But here's what happens to the members who lean in:
They show up to Core even after a brutal day.
They go to a retreat with their Core group despite their calendar being a mess.
It's life changing.
If you want something you can just dip in and out of when it's convenient, Hampton probably isn't for you.
But if you're ready to put in the work to build real relationships with founders who get your challenges?
Then we should talk.
