You built the business. What comes next isn’t a solo project.
WAKE UP is a private club for entrepreneurs in New York. Thirty residents, $13M average revenue. Meetings, peer groups, and conversations without a pitch.
Why it exists
Past a certain point, running a company is a lonely job. You cannot tell your team everything. You certainly cannot tell your partners. Advisors give advice without carrying any of the risk, and friends outside the business simply do not grasp the size of the question.
WAKE UP puts people who have walked the same road in one room. Here you can name real numbers, admit a mistake, and get an answer from someone who solved the same problem with their own money.
What membership includes
Monthly meetings
Residents gather once a month. One case discussion, one speaker, open conversation afterwards.
Peer groups
A fixed roster meeting on a steady rhythm. Everyone brings their own question and gets the thinking of the whole group, not the opinion of one person.
Brunches and retreats
Smaller settings, where people meet each other rather than each other’s job titles.
Club alliance
Access to partner communities beyond New York.
What it looks like
Meetings happen in Manhattan. A small room, the city outside the window, thirty people who know each other.
Who founded the club
We started Wake Up because we were tired of clubs where business meant dry exchanges of business cards rather than real support. We wanted a room where you can be honest about your doubts and fears, and where talking things through changes not just how you think but the scale of what you achieve.
Upcoming events
Some events are open to guests, others are for residents only. The calendar updates itself.
Membership fee

Thirty founders running companies above $1M — an audience advertising struggles to reach.
