The Power Circle

This program is created by experienced founders and investors to further support other founders. We have personally experienced the challenges of building a successful startup from the ground up, we deeply understand the feelings of isolation and overwhelm that often accompany this entrepreneurial journey. On top of that, the constant stress and overwhelm of trying to secure funding can be disheartening, with countless "no" responses or requests to come back later. The time and effort required for fundraising can distract you from building your startup and impede your progress, leaving you stuck in a cycle of endless fundraising meetings. Despite the multitude of networking opportunities and the promises made by incubators and accelerators, obtaining funding remains an immense challenge. 

That's precisely why this program was created, assembling a small, hand-picked group of committed founders like yourself. Our goal is not only to help you secure the funding you need but also to accelerate your overall business growth. One of the incredible benefits of this program is the supportive and trustworthy community we've cultivated. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who are facing similar challenges and sharing the same journey is unlike anything that was available when I was building my own businesses. 

Existing programs are often very expensive or lacking the necessary structure and focus. Most of programs accepted members without ensuring a suitable fit, the groups are too big and accountability is often lacking.

After years of testing and refining, we are am proud to offer a program that is truly unparalleled. The Power Circle is designed to take you from a state of overwhelm to equipping you with the necessary tools and unwavering confidence to navigate your business growth with ease. 

While incubators can offer valuable resources, networking opportunities, and mentorship, The Power Circle goes above and beyond traditional incubator experiences. The program is designed to provide a customized experience that best prepares you for funding success. 

In the fast-paced world of startups, we understand that each founder and business is unique. That's why The Power Circle takes a personalized approach, tailored specifically to your needs. We believe in the power of customization, recognizing that a cookie-cutter model simply won't suffice when it comes to achieving your funding goals. 

Our program goes beyond generic advice and support. We dig deep to understand your specific challenges, goals, and stage of development. Whether you're seeking seed funding, scaling your business, or navigating the complexities of Series A funding, The Power Circle will provide you with the targeted guidance and resources you need to excel. 

When it comes to funding preparation, we leave no stone unturned. Our experienced founders and investors offer invaluable insights into what investors are looking for. We help you position your business effectively, refine your pitch, and guide you through the intricacies of the fundraising process. 

The Power Circle is created by seasoned founders and investors who have successfully built startups themselves. We bring firsthand knowledge and practical experience to the table, equipping you with strategies and insights that have been tested and proven effective. 

Our customized approach maximizes your chances of securing the funding you need to take your startup to new heights. But it doesn't stop there. The Power Circle isn't just about funding. It's about fostering a curated community of like-minded founders who share your passion and drive. Surround yourself with individuals who understand the journey, who have faced similar challenges, and who are committed to supporting and lifting each other up. 

The Power Circle doesn't follow a syllabus or provide sample assignments because it's not a course. Instead, it offers dynamic solutions tailored to your specific challenges, guiding you through overcoming obstacles in your entrepreneurial journey. 

The Power Circle operates in the spirit of a true Mastermind Program, as initially outlined in the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and Rosa Lee Beeland back in 1937. In this classic text, Napoleon Hill defines a Mastermind Group as an "alliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose." 

What sets this program apart is its uniqueness in the startup world. It's an incredibly potent tool for propelling founders forward in their entrepreneurial journey. The Power Circle thrives on accountability, commitment, drive, passion, and hard work, making it stand out from other offerings in the field. 

Many founders express the desire to build a successful business, but not all achieve it. The reason for this gap is the difference between wanting to do something and actually taking action. 

The Power Circle is exclusively dedicated to the "doing" part, ensuring tangible progress and success for its participants.

The Power Circle spans 6-months and consists of a total of seven sessions. We have carefully structured the program to optimize your progress and ensure you have ample time to implement the advice, resources, and tips shared during our sessions. 

During the first month, we will meet twice to establish a solid foundation and set you up for success. For the remaining months, we will meet once a month. 

This monthly meeting frequency has been refined over many years of running the program. We found that it strikes the perfect balance, giving you sufficient time to apply what you've learned, complete assigned tasks, and come prepared to share your learnings, achievements, and any challenges you may have faced. 

Our approach emphasizes accountability and customized support. Each session is designed to provide you with valuable insights and actionable strategies to move your business forward. Between sessions, you will have work to complete, ensuring that you make tangible progress. 

This combination of structured sessions, assigned tasks, and accountability fosters continuous growth and keeps you on track towards achieving your goals. By the end of the six-month program, your business will have made remarkable strides that surpass your wildest imagination. The power of accountability and customized support is unparalleled when it comes to accelerating your business growth and achieving your desired outcomes.

We understand that life can get busy, and sometimes it's unavoidable to miss a session. Therefore, we offer the flexibility to excuse your attendance for one session. Rest assured, we've got you covered even if you can't make it. Detailed session notes will be promptly sent to you, ensuring you won't miss out on the key takeaways and valuable insights discussed during the meeting. 

At our sessions, we prioritize creating a safe and open space for our members to freely express themselves and engage in meaningful discussions. To foster a sense of privacy and encourage open dialogue, we do not share any session recordings. This approach allows our members to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, concerns, and personal experiences, knowing that their words will remain within the confines of our supportive community.

In order to ensure an intimate and focused learning experience, we limit our program to a maximum of 5-6 members only. Once these spots are filled, we will not be able to accept any further sign-ups. 

By keeping the group small, we can provide personalized attention, foster meaningful connections, and facilitate a highly interactive and engaging learning environment.

We understand that financial challenges can arise, and we want to ensure that our program remains accessible to aspiring individuals like you. 

Our aim is to deliver outstanding value at an exceptionally affordable price. With a discounted rate equivalent to approximately the cost of a daily cup of coffee or tea, we provide flexibility in payment plans—choose between a monthly option or an annual plan that includes a complimentary month. 

This flexible structure enables you to distribute payments, alleviating financial pressure while enjoying the complete program benefits. We are committed to supporting you on your journey, both in terms of providing exceptional value and ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder your access to the program's transformative benefits.
