The Path To 7-Figures Doesn’t Have To Be One You Tread Alone

Join our community of 1st Gens, and learn from entrepreneurs that have built profitable businesses on their own – and avoid the costly mistakes they’ve made along the way.

If your friends and family can't help you with business, we will.

Life as an entrepreneur is lonely, but never more than when you’re the first in your family to tread the path.

It’s frustrating enough trying to convince your friends and family that leaving the rat race was a brilliant idea, but the relentless pressure to have all of the answers – all of the time – is only adding stress.

Speaking from experience, entrepreneurship done wrong really sucks and can be very costly.

Any small wins you pick up feel short-lived as before you know it, you’re up to your eyeballs in admin.

While you’re drowning in this new responsibility, you also have to balance quality time with friends and family – the same folks who don’t understand what it takes to build a business.

For a supportive shoulder or two to lean on, you’ve gotta surround yourself with entrepreneurial minds that have been where you want to be. That’s why you need to…

The nature of the community meant that people showed up to the Hot Seat with honest, candid feedback that was the most helpful thing for me to hear.''

- Jordan Clemons

Let’s be clear, you can stay in your lane solo and see 7-figure success. But speaking as someone who has done exactly that, I guarantee you’ll make countless mistakes that massively set you back in terms of time and money.

That’s why I set up the 1st Gen Community, to give lesser-supported underdogs a chance to avoid mistakes that entrepreneurial families figured out years ago.

You can do this yourself, but do you really want to?

If you want to go fast, go it alone. If you want to go far then go together – alongside fellow 1st Gens that have already walked your chosen path, or are actively walking it with you.

Here’s what 1st Gens like you have to say about our community…

As an entrepreneur, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to start and run a business. At times, I have felt isolated and unsure of where to turn for help. However, since I joined 1st Generation Entrepreneurs, I have found a supportive community of individuals who are going through the same struggles as me.

What makes 1st Gen stand out from other networking platforms like LinkedIn is the level of genuine connection and vulnerability that exists between members. In this community, I am able to openly share my successes and failures, and I receive valuable feedback and support from people who truly understand what it’s like to be an entrepreneur.

I believe that what sets 1st Gen apart is that it was created by 1st Gens, for 1st Gens. This community is designed with all the challenges of being a 1st Gen in mind and offers a wealth of valuable resources to support its members.

Overall, I highly recommend this membership to any 1st Gen Entrepreneur looking for a supportive community to help them navigate the ups and downs of the entrepreneurial journey.

I can easily say that my annual membership in the 1st Gen Entrepreneurs community has already paid for itself, Andrew & within the first month alone!

The consistent level of support, engagement, and camaraderie and not to mention the new business and partnering opportunities and has been phenomenal.

Thanks for creating such a welcoming and helpful space for accidental entrepreneurs like me to grow into their business and best position themselves within their industry!

This is a next level community to find support for Entrepreneurs. The access to resources and professionals with experience is second to none.

I am not who I project myself to be. What you see is not always what you get. Behind the scenes, I’m a doubter, a worrier, and if I’m not careful — pessimism slips right in, deeply. So what the heck does this have to do with gratefulness?

Just this: certain people come alongside at just the right time. Yesterday I needed some advice. And you know what? Andrew McIntosh was right there when I needed him. Crazy helpful. Insightful.

He gave me an hour that was truly needed. I came away with a whole bunch of insights that… if I’m just being honest… are stolen ideas from his brain. And he freely gave them.

This is the way. So thank you Andrew! Today as day #1 I’m grateful to have you as a friend in my corner.

And by the way, what Andrew is doing at 1st Gen Entrepreneurs is insanely cool.

Go take a peek, you’ll love it.

I can easily say that my annual membership in the 1st Gen Entrepreneurs community has already paid for itself, Andrew — within the first month alone!

The consistent level of support, engagement, and comaraderie — not to mention the new business and partnering opportunities — has been phenomenal.

Thanks for creating such a welcoming and helpful space for accidental entrepreneurs like me to grow into their business and best position themselves within their industry!

What Andrew has created with 1st Gen and amazing! My mind was blown when I saw 1st Gen! He has set up such an incredible community and platform to help entrepreneurs have a place to go for support, community, questions, and friendships! It can be lonely running a business and hard to find the support you need, Andrew solved that problem and has created a place that in my opinion every entrepreneur should be part of! Thank you so much Andrew for all you do!

The hot seat made me feel like I wasn’t alone. So many others seemed to feel and have gone through or are going through what I am and it was comforting to hear from others who know exactly what I am talking about. There was so much support and helpful insight that I came away feeling energized and not crazy.

Not only was I able to get perspective, I was able to get more clarity and actually, open my mind to options I might not have thought about. I came away with list full of actionable ideas and suggestions.

One thing I would like to say is how much I appreciate the vetting process. I trust that those who are part of the community are safe and that is a big deal for me as I assume it is for others. We all are sharing vulnerable aspects and information about ourselves that we might not normally share with just anyone.

It’s not official until you’ve got the merch 🖤

I’m pumped to be a founding member of 1st Gen Entrepreneurs – and to have a hand in building something really special for this slice of the entrepreneurial community.

As a first-time, first generation founder – this group of peers and mentors has quickly become my compass and my anchor.

Thank you Andrew McIntosh for inviting me and many other 1st Gens to collaborate on your vision and co-create this space together.

I’m going to speak for everyone and say it means the world to us!

We’re already making friends and business partners for life in this community – and we’re just 2 months in. Thrilled to be along for the ride as we grow 🚀

📸 me with my 2nd gen entrepreneur and Pitcher 🍋 in-the-making 💃

The Hot Seat was just what I needed. It was perfect for a busy entrepreneur like me. Structured time to talk and listen, with a little wiggle room if necessary, kept the format tight and the value exchange on point.

I only had to present my challenge once to receive multiple viewpoints, some of which compounded on each other.

The nature of the community meant that the people who showed up to help came with honest, candid feedback that was the most helpful thing for me to hear.

I recommend anyone interested in getting out of their heads and hearing some solid advice to join this community!

I joined 1st Gen ~2 months ago. I wouldn’t normally put much stock in an entrepreneur’s community. They’re tough to vet without being inside (and paying for the privilege).

However, I joined 1st Gen at the recommendation of three separate connections so I knew it was the real deal and I pulled the trigger.

It didn’t disappoint!

I’ve made many new valuable connections inside the community, learned a considerable amount, and had my thinking challenged in a positive way.

If you’re on the fence, consider this your nudge.

The 1st Gen community has been a tremendous resource as I continue the process of connecting with ideal clients, structuring my offerings, and developing my knowledge and confidence to build a sustainable business.

Being brand new to entrepreneurship, I had no idea where to go for help. There are so many options and it takes so much time to vet those options. So, I basically ended up doing everything myself. I wish I would have had this resource sooner in my journey.

And with this group, the benefits are not just in what you get. They are also in what you give. The community gatherings have been a fantastic place to collaborate with really smart, like-minded people. Contributing to discussions has hopefully helped others, while also helping me clarify my thoughts.

I would recommend this group to anyone who is an entrepreneur or considering becoming one. Whether you’re looking to accelerate your growth or just establish a foundation, you will find the support you need here.

Excited to be a part of this. It’s something that as a one-man shop in a business, it’s nice to have other folks who bring ideas, who can challenge you, and who can ensure your success when other times you may just feel on an island and all alone.

I recently spoke with Andrew on the challenges I was facing with my business.

I sought after Andrew’s advice on the business model direction I was exploring.

Andrew was able to provide a fresh perspective on what I was considering, which led to a significant change in direction I was exploring.

I feel more empowered with the decision I made, and I’m more confident of the larger impact it will have on my business.

Thanks Andrew!

We have raving reviews from entrepreneurs across different industries, continents, and backgrounds. As business owners, they all face their own personal challenges but we get through it together, as a team.

If you’re willing to show up, share your story, get your hands dirty and support your fellow underdog, we’d love for you to join our team of trailblazers!

People say it’s lonely at the top, but I know it’s lonely at the bottom too!

I’m Andrew McIntosh, A 7-figure entrepreneur with a serious chip on my shoulder.

Back in 2006, I started my own IT business without really having a clue about running a company.

I made dumb mistakes left and right— dealing with toxic clients or messing up my cash flow and taxes. I desperately needed guidance.

But like you, I had no one to turn to. I didn’t have an entrepreneurial family or rich friends. I didn’t have the silver spoon treatment or Daddy’s trust fund. Everything I knew about business was from the school of hard knocks.

And believe me, there were a lot of knocks.

It took me 6 years to hire a killer business coach and I instantly regretted not doing it sooner. Fast forward to 2021, I sold that IT business for well over 7-figures.

Now, I’m here to offer you the same guidance but in a more accessible way. At just a fraction of the cost of hiring a business coach, you can gain my insight and lean on the brilliance of fellow entrepreneurs who have already carved out the path you’re walking down.

Join 1st Gen today and shortcut past the years of costly business mistakes we’ve had to endure by going it alone. I’ll even show you around once you join. That being said…

Before you join, we need to make sure that 1st Gen is the right community for you

We want the 1st Gen Entrepreneurs community to be a safe space where you can make new friends, ask burning questions, overcome stressful situations and be excited about business (again).

Inside 1st Gen, you’ll find a community of entrepreneurs that…

Entrepreneurship is a lonely path, but never more so than when you’re getting pitch-slapped in the DMs. So if you’re joining with the intention of soliciting your services, this probably isn’t the right group for you.

But if you’re desperate to break beyond your current struggles and build a business that’ll give you the freedom you need, join 1st Gen today and get the support, knowledge and accountability you need to make that a reality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is This a Networking Group?

Nope! And we are offended you’d even ask that. Just kidding

In all seriousness, you should NOT join this community if you are primarily interested in networking and getting leads.

The focus of this group is to help each other solve problems, give & get support and hold each other accountable.

A natural biproduct of any good community is that you wind up doing business with each other.

Join this community if you don’t want to travel on your entrepreneurial journey alone.

Do NOT join this community if you are hoping to sell your product/service once inside.

Are There Any Commitments?

While we do host weekly meetups on Zoom, it’s not required to attend each week. We understand you are busy!
To get the most out of this community, we recommend attending the live meetings at least once per month
Additionally, it only takes an hour or two each month to keep in touch on the forums and benefit from that in your business

Why do you personally vet new members?

Because the quality of the group is critical to our success.
• We have a vetting process for every member who is added to the group.
• We want to attract quality, talented individuals who have both the desire and ability to give as much as they receive.
