    It's Lonely

    If you’re the first in your family to start a business, it’s up to you to blaze your own trail. But without a built-in support system, it can be a very lonely journey.

    It's Uncertain

    What happens when you face a new challenge for the first time? It’s really hard to know if you’re making the right decisions, which leads to anxiety.

    It's Risky

    1st Gen Entrepreneurs miss out on the advantages of growing up in an entrepreneurial family. Going it alone adds risk and compounds the pressure. As if it’s not hard enough already!

    What Our Members Have to Say:

    Don't Walk Alone!

    Our mission is to democratize the mentorship, support and connections needed for any 1st Gen Entrepreneur to succeed.

    We want to attract quality, talented individuals who have both the desire and ability to give as much as they receive.

    You don’t need decades of experience to join. You simply need to have expertise in your own field and a willingness to share what you know.

    Your peers will return the favor, helping you overcome challenges in your business and fill in your gaps.

    This results in a quality community that helps each member to grow and succeed in their business.

    However, we can only serve members if there is a mutually good fit. If you’d like to join, please submit an application below and we’ll report back.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is This a Networking Group?

    • 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.

    • 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
