A carefully-curated attendee list of founders with significant revenue
and rapid revenue growth.
Practical tips and hands-on learning in founder-to-founder roundtable sessions.

The event delivers quality insights and connections to people building amazing businesses to help them create the $100m+ revenue stars of the future.
Three of the things that you need to deliver a breakout success are motivation, knowledge, and knowing who to get help from at the right time.
