Wall of Fame

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.

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.  

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 all 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.

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

Is it worth it? Yes.

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 sat on my cap table when it comes to day-to-day ops/needs

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 1 year 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.

Had a rough night. I hopped on here this morning and felt better seeing all the amazing things my fellow Hamptonians are doing. Grateful to this community for allowing me to be vulnerable because most days I have nobody to talk with.

I've been in Hampton for 4 months now and oh man the quality of the community is INSANE!!!

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.

Sam Parr and Joe Speiser get it.

Join Hampton. It’s been great for me so far.

Hampton related, [Redacted] joined last week and his company does data scraping. Reached out to him and we’re gonna be spending $80k+ a year with him (which seems pretty cool for his first week in Hampton) and it’s going to save us $30–$40k vs the contractor we were using. Nice little win.

Had our core group Thursday at Hampton HQ which was great. Have some nice momentum going there now that we’re a few meetings deep.

Joining Hampton was a great decision: As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to get stuck in the day-to-day. What’s not easy is finding the right people to talk to when you need to zoom out.

My core group meets monthly, and every session leaves me with clarity, perspective, and a few smart nudges I didn’t know I needed. And the Slack space is THE place to talk openly with people who’ve already passed the early stages and are still pushing hard.

Even after moving from the U.S. to Portugal, I’ve also been lucky to meet other expat founders here through Hampton. Connecting with smart, grounded people each month - this time in person - has made a huge difference. Cheers to "geo-lisbon" Slack Channel!

And honestly, credit to Sam Parr, the culture inside the group is one of the healthiest I’ve seen. No hype, no ego, just real conversations.

Maybe Hampton won’t be the right group for you. And that’s fine.

But I’d highly recommend finding a space where you can be fully yourself.
Where you can talk about business, but also about family, travel, health, wins, and setbacks.

That kind of network makes the journey a lot less lonely, and a lot more real. ❤️

The knowledge archive in the Slack community alone is worth the cost.

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.

An idea that's now changing lives. Thanks guys.

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+ amazing friends. People that 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.

A Core group member today shared his biggest win this year was leveling up as a CEO thanks to Hampton. He felt his interactions with others in the larger Hampton program as well as in his Core group pushed him to think bigger and consider new ideas he hadn't heard of before. Just wanted to share the love and kudos to the Hampton team for creating the space. 😊

One month in. I knew everyone would be smart, but I'm blown away by how generous everyone is. Already thinking about spinning up a company with a Hampton member or two.

Hampton brought in Josh Luber, Co-Founder of StockX (among other things), and his talk blew my mind.

Josh walked us through the early days, from his first meeting to finding the right partners and shaping something that was not just a great product but a great theory. He also shared how he thinks about talent and how he recruits.

Big thanks to Hampton for organizing. Always a privilege to learn from people who actually built the thing.

The Ojai retreat last year was life-changing. I met my new business partner there

And made some lifelong friends. 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.

Build community. Meet folks IRL. Joining Hampton has been one of the best things I've done. When I was chatting with Sam, and we had that incredible coworking space with David in SF - we had a community.

I'm super happy that Sam and Joe brought together such a fantastic group of people. Today, I met with Amir, Josh, Jen, Joe, Jeff, and Nick.

This is a call to action for *wherever* you are, get out of your at-home office'. Find a community of like-minded people, and grab a coffee, a beer, play games, watch a show, workout. Just do it.

One of my goals this year is to surround myself with founders that are doing similar things.

This is it.

Hampton is worth every cent.

I love that it's a vetted community and that people have to pay a decent amount for it. It's like fitness - if it's too cheap - you have no skin in the game. 

And on top of that, I think successful people know that you need to pay it forward. In 90 days, I've met over 30+ entrepreneurs, made friends (taking one out in my McLaren on Saturday after I pick it up), and even had someone teach me (and my team) ads. I'm also going next week to spend half a day with another entrepreneur to help him set up outbound sales at their company - that's how I grew my last business. 

1. I connected with a lot of interesting, open minded, like minded people, and I became friends with a few.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Hampton is the best entrepreneurial community I've ever been a part of. They vet everyone, you have to be making 7 figures to get in, and its an ~$8k annual investment but very worth it in terms of quality of people. They also are now doing a lot of in person events in major cities.

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.

Endlessly grateful to the Hampton team who created the space for us explore and connect.

I didn't know what to expect when I joined but the community that Sam and co has built has been incredible. Really enjoying being part of Hampton

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.

• How I met Peter Corbett at my lowest point as a founder and how he helped me find myself again; understanding the role fear was playing in my life, and how his Hampton Retreats (and the voice notes he generously traded with me) unlocked a whole new chapter for me.

• How Marshall Hayes has become a coach, a mentor, a friend, and someone who has helped me grown dramatically by getting in the weeds with me about how I approach and execute work.

• How I share things with my Core Group I often times don’t share with my closest friends, not because my friends aren’t open to it, but because there is nuance in the context and being able to share with people who “get it” out of the gate just makes such a difference.

• How I’ve had dozens of calls with fellow founders around extremely specific/nuanced business challenges and it feels like I have access to – and am a part of – the most generous community of builders I could ever imagine.

It’s great stuff. Truly.

Was invited to join Hampton when they launched and it’s been an incredible experience

Entrepreneurship can be lonely and lots of people in your life won’t get it

These people will.

For those founders on the fence around joining communities, I will say that being a part of this group has made me a better person and founder

Thankful for @thesamparr and @jspeiser for continuing to build it

Let’s keep building

Just finished my first year in Hampton and I want to say Thank You to the Hampton team. The ROI has been insane, I couldn’t smash that renew button any harder.

10 years ago I moved to NYC, I’ve made deeper connections after 1 year in Hampton than the 9 preceding.

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.
