Creating Breakthroughs in Areas of Your Life & Business That Matter Most to You
Most retreats still stay on the surface.
They might offer frameworks, peer sharing, or inspirational talks… but few are designed to help founders truly break through what’s beneath the surface – like lifelong internal patterns, emotional blind spots, or ego-driven loops.
This retreat is designed for that breakthrough.
Over 4 days – at a private lakehouse in Austin, Texas – you’ll drop out of your mind and back into your body.
Through a combination of deep inner work and joyful play, you’ll break through the lifelong patterns that have been unknowingly shaping your leadership, your relationships, and your experience of life and who you are.
If you’re ready to say yes to the next level, this retreat was made for you.
Limited to 15 participants, an intimate experience we expect to sell out.

Like you, I’m an entrepreneur. In addition to coaching hundreds of venture-backed startup CEOs over the last 15 years, I’ve co-founded two startups and know firsthand the stress and intensity of being ‘in the arena’.
Gratefully, the number of entrepreneurs who recognize the linkage between their personal development and their startup’s success has skyrocketed over the last decade.
We've been working hard to create the most energizing, powerful, effective, FUN retreat experience possible for startup founders/CEOs who sense that more is possible and want to realize their potential.
You’ll leave inspired, recharged, feeling connected to who you really are, and with a new community of beloved friends who just so happen to be some of the most badass entrepreneurs in the world.
As a founder, you already know the power of commitment. You owe it to yourself and your startup to make this commitment, become who you need to be to realize your company’s potential and not miss the chance to join this amazing founder community.

Dave Kashen is regarded as one of the top startup founder/CEO coaches. Until now, his work has been mostly 1:1 with founders but we’re now creating new ways to expand his impact and lower the barrier to entry to receive his coaching, insights, etc.
If you don’t know Dave, he’s coached hundreds of founders and CEOs, 10+ unicorn founders and dozens who’ve built $100M+ companies, collectively creating over $100B in value. His clients include founders of Instagram, Solana, Alto Pharmacy, Jet, Fetch, Redesign Health, Indiegogo, Morning Brew, Republic, Truebill, and many more.
Dave cares deeply for founders (he’s started and sold 2 startups himself and is a YC alum) – his coaching is centered around conscious leadership, calming the internal storm that founders face, and transforming them into a world class leader and CEO capable of scaling with ease.
Emma coaches ambitious entrepreneurs to collapse their timelines and become great leaders by doing the inner work to transform how they show up in the world. She combines her approach to conscious leadership coaching with a decade of experience as a startup leader (Haus, Bocce’s / Antelope, Lean In) and McKinsey consultant to support her clients to thrive in high-pressure environments while staying true to their purpose.
Moshe coaches startup founders/CEOs from the ‘inside out’ to step fully into their power, navigate strategic and interpersonal challenges, and scale high-trust cultures. Before coaching, Moshe was on the founding team of 3 startups, oversaw L&D and culture at Bridgewater Associates, and was a management consultant across 3 continents at Monitor Deloitte. Moshe holds an MBA and PhD from Stanford University and facilitates the iconic course Interpersonal Dynamics at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business.
Nicole Bliss coaches high-performing founders and executives to transform from reactive leaders to conscious creators by regulating their nervous system and reconnecting with their authentic leadership power. Before founding Lead with Bliss, Nicole built and led account strategy and agency teams at ad tech companies, where she experienced firsthand the unsustainable cycle of high performance fueled by chronic stress and the inability to disconnect from work pressures at home.
Nicole combines her deep understanding of high-pressure environments with conscious leadership, nervous system science and ancient wisdom practices to help founders break free from 3am mental spirals, decision paralysis, and burnout patterns. Her unique approach helps founders shift from leading through fight-or-flight reactivity to making conscious choices from calm clarity, enabling them to scale their companies from wholeness rather than depletion.
“This retreat was powerful in a way I will (hopefully) never forget. Thank you Dave and all the coaches…”
“It was the single best personal development thing I've ever done on a time investment → ROI perspective.”
”I still feel in a state of flow even to this day; its been over a month since the retreat!”
“Dave's work was absolutely game changing and is the gift that keeps on giving.”
