The Founder Collective.
The Room You Never Had.
A curated peer group and weekly coaching program for founders running $1M to $10M. Build real relationships with people who are doing exactly what you are doing. Pete Srodoski leads every call.
You Were Never Supposed to Build This Alone.
Running a business between $1M and $10M is one of the loneliest things a person can do. You have a team below you, but they can't really understand the weight you carry. You have peers around you, but they're not running what you're running.
The founder collective is built around one idea: you go further when you build it with people who are in it with you. Real relationships. Honest conversations. A group that holds each other to a higher standard because everyone in the room has real skin in the game.
This is not a networking group. It is not a mastermind where you listen to success stories. It is a working group where founders bring the hard stuff, work through it together, and leave every week with more clarity than they came in with.
Built to Go Deep Together.
Every element of the Founder Collective is designed to build real relationships, real accountability, and a real operating system across the group.
75 minutes every week with Pete and the full group. Real topics, real problems, real feedback. This is not a webinar. Pete facilitates, the group engages, and every founder leaves with something they can act on.
Access to a private Basecamp community where members share wins, ask real questions, and support each other between calls. This is where the relationships that matter get built - the ones that last past the cohort.
20 minutes one-on-one with Pete every month. Your specific situation, your specific priorities. Not a group dynamic. A direct conversation about where you are and what needs to move next.
A 2-hour planning workshop with the full group every quarter. Set priorities together, share what's working, and build your next 90-day plan using the R3 framework alongside founders doing the same work.
Every member gets full access to the Level Up Your Leadership course. The group works through the same frameworks, which means every weekly call builds on a shared foundation instead of starting from scratch.
Access to a directory of every member in your cohort. Referrals, introductions, resources. The relationships built inside this group have real business value outside of it. That's the point.
Curated. Not Open Enrollment.
The Founder Collective is not a program you just sign up for. Every application is reviewed. Every founder is evaluated for fit. The selectivity is the whole point - when everyone in the room is the right person, the room becomes genuinely valuable.
A group of 15 founders who all have skin in the game and are committed to real accountability is worth more than a room of 100 who are just watching.

A Week in the Founder Collective.
This is what the rhythm looks like once you are inside. Every week has a purpose. Every touchpoint builds toward something.
You know what you are bringing to the group this week. One real challenge. One win you want to share. One thing you need honest feedback on. You come ready to give as much as you get.
Pete opens the call, sets the agenda, and makes sure every founder gets time. Hot seats, working sessions, shared frameworks. Founders challenge each other. Pete holds the standard. Nobody leaves with vague advice.
A question gets posted. Three members answer from real experience. A founder shares a win. The group celebrates it. An introduction gets made. The relationships that matter do not wait for the next call.
One month in, one month out. Pete checks in directly on your priorities, your blockers, and what is and is not moving. This is where the group learning gets applied to your specific situation.
Real Work. Real Results.
"Pete's guidance has been an amazing addition to our business. Our entire team has really stepped up while working with Pete and we've seen many positive changes. We are excited to see what the future brings with Pete's expertise."
"Pete is the coach you call when DIY isn't cutting it and your team has outgrown whiteboard chaos. He's sharp, direct, and personable. Pete's your guy if you're serious about scaling, building accountability, and getting your leadership team rowing in the same direction."
"Pete is a great leader and very enjoyable to work with. We were apprehensive about bringing in an outside person. He fit in seamlessly from day one and immediately added value. He's passionate about what he does, intelligent, and as an added bonus he's also funny."
Two Cohorts Per Year.
Limited Spots.
The Founder Collective runs twice a year. Each cohort is capped at 15 members. When a cohort fills, it closes. Applications are reviewed individually and not every applicant is accepted.
The 6-month commitment is not a contract. It is the minimum time needed for the group to build the trust and depth that makes this valuable. After 6 months, it is month to month.
Stop Building It Alone.
A 30-minute call. No pressure. We figure out if this is the right fit and which cohort makes sense for where you are.
