Incubating Impact: We provide mission-driven dreamers and builders with affordable access to the skills, tools, and community they need to make their corner of society a better place.
highlight: The Builder Blind Spots Survey
All dreamers dream in the dark.
All builders have blind spots.
The #1 problem facing all entrepreneurs, freelancers, and community organizers? Our attention gets pulled in too many directions, scattering our precious focus and creating compromising blind spots.
We’re playing a brand new game, and you’re invited.
We’ve gone it alone: under-resourced, overburdened, and stubbornly blind to failure conditions.
We’ve suffered the lingering costs of failure, burnout, and heart-breaking hindsight.
Once was more than enough, but we did it again because being your own boss is statistically and culturally inseparable from overwork, underpay, and steep sacrifice; we didn’t know any other way.
So we made one.
Build Your Dreams on Foresight & Support. Not Hindsight & Isolation.
The achievement of all your desires — whether based in purpose, profit, or balance — comes down to two factors:
1: Increased Capacity
💪Build new skills: Our events will help you (& your team) develop elusive evergreen skills such as goal setting & creative problem solving, as well as stage-specific skills such as refining customer profiles, creating compelling case studies, refining your sales funnel, etc.
🤝Expert assistance at any hour: Our Innovator’s Tool Suite: The Refinery offers expert-created tools & templates to help you tackle a wide array of challenges, from financial strategy & funding partner management, to sales & marketing, to team management & culture development.
🫶Not just any community: our members, like you, are complexity-conscious, mission-driven, and always learning. They’re increasingly equipped with the skills & tools necessary for fruitful feedback & collaboration across different industries, sectors, and business models.
2: Rebalanced Load
👷🤠🧙Wear the right hats: Whether through discovering an easy-to-find tool in our Innovator’s Tool Suite: The Refinery, or attending one of our many workshops, you’ll learn to safely shift responsibilities and wear the right hats at the right time.
👀Pursue the right goals: Our customer-centric approach to business & organization development — adopted by elite institutions such as Berkeley, Stanford and MIT — can prevent massive misallocation of resources.
💰Sidestep spend: Delay or even outright avoid expensive hires — internal and external — and sidestep sources of invisible of spend that spring from challenges related to cofounder alignment and culture alignment.
