Are you BTFL?

We are post-exit, post-economic founders

Our members typically founded one or more companies, had a large financial exit and are now navigating the realities of post-exit life. The normal phases include: great joy/relief, followed by a series of experiments, false starts and an ongoing search to replace the structure, meaning and purpose we had running our companies.


Typically, but not always

Post-exit, our members do what society expects of us: 


  • we think about starting another business
  • we volunteer with non-profits
  • we delve into hobbies
  • we invest in startups
  • we mentor and advise
  • we buy a bunch of stuff


When these don't bring happiness, we:


  • Open a family office
  • Buy a boat
  • Start a non-profit
  • Consider climbing Mt. Kilamanjaro
  • Plan a multi-continent trip
  • Create content
  • Invest in more startups
  • Regret investing in said startups
  • Become an adjunct professor
  • Learn Spanish
  • Take drum / guitar lessons
  • Buy 7 unnecessary cars
  • Learn to fly an airplane
  • Buy a plane
  • Buy an RV
  • Launch a venture studio
  • Start a podcast
  • Rescue dogs
  • Buy a 2nd or 3rd or 4th house
  • Renovate all houses
  • Explore longevity
  • Try psychedelics
  • Go on a spiritual retreat
  • Try to meditate daily
  • Start a micro-SaaS / other VC fund
  • Experiment with saunas and cold plunge
  • Consider rolling up HVAC companies
  • and generally fail at all of the above...
