Running a business is f&*%ing hard.

You don't have to do it alone.

A curated peer group for post-acquisition ETA and search-fund operators — for running and growing what you bought. Convened by someone who's sat in the seat.

Getting the deal done was the easy part.

Here's what you're up against.

The challenges of stepping into the CEO seat of a company you bought are their own animal. And they don't go away on their own. Maybe you're now facing…

  • Juggling growth, culture, and the weight of everyone you now answer to — while still figuring out how to actually run the place
  • Debt and payroll that are now your problem — with your name personally on the line
  • Surprises that didn't show up in due diligence
  • A team that isn't aligned, doesn't trust you yet, and has gaps to fill
  • Stuck in the weeds, putting out fires you didn't start

And maybe you're even wondering… "What did I get myself into?"

The room

Finally, people who actually get it.

The Owners' Table is a curated peer group of operators at your stage — same roller-coaster of challenges, same questions, same battles — convened and facilitated by someone who's been there.

  • Monthly, three hours at a time
  • 6–10 owner-operators at your stage
  • Facilitated, structured, and confidential
  • Built around what you're actually facing
  • $300/month — founding rate

A seat at the table.

Operators working together in a room

The problems you can't take to your team or your spouse. No performing, no victory laps — just operators who've been exactly where you are.

What three hours actually looks like

Check-ins to start. One member takes the floor for a deep dive — a real challenge, decision, or case from their own business. Then the floor opens to whatever the room needs most that month. A hard stop in the middle to breathe, and everyone leaves with something to act on.

Four places in one world

Your seat comes with more than the room.

The room you sit in

The Owners' Table

Your monthly peer group of 6–10 operators at your stage. The heart of everything.

The bench you call on

The Roster

Vetted advisors, specialists, and vendors — there when you need to call on them for advice or their unique expertise.

Where you get read in

The Briefing Room

Curated knowledge filtered for the post-close operator — the signal, not the noise. Discussions and content on the trends and issues that actually matter to an operator.

Coming soon
Where you level up how you run it

The Engine Room

Straight talk on operating systems — which one fits, build vs. hire — plus a forum to work it through.

The person convening the room

I've sat in this seat.

I bought a company through a self-funded search, ran and grew it, and sold it. So I know what it takes — and I know the hard-learned lessons, the things I wish I'd known, and the calls I'd make differently if I did it again.

Since selling, I've devoted myself to helping operators on the same path — YPO moderator-trained in the peer-forum model that the best of these rooms are built on, and a Certified Pinnacle Business Guide, one of the major operating-system frameworks alongside EOS and Scaling Up.

Owner Up is the room I wish I'd had.

You bought the business. Now the hard part starts.

Pull up a chair.

This isn't for everyone — the Owners' Table is a curated room, and it only works if the people in it are right for each other. We're forming rooms now for operators living exactly what you're living. If it's a fit, we'll talk.
