Find your colony! Join our mastermind

It can be lonely at the top - but you’re not alone! Whether you’re a first time founder or an experienced executive building something new, you need a support system.

Founders helping founders - that’s what our mastermind groups are all about.

More than a network.

We bring together founders in the trenches to share their wisdom, networks, templates, tips (and occasionally a shoulder to cry on). Celebrating wins, helping each other through challenges - this is the support system every entrepreneur needs to be successful.

We curate the best group of colleagues for you to build a useful network and authentic lifelong connections.

Navigate rough waters.

Building a company can be treacherous - but it should also be fun! With regular peer group meet-ups and quarterly in-person retreats, our groups provide regular accountability, hot seats for troubleshooting, and a built-in cheering section.

Our twice monthly coaching calls with experienced mentors keep you on track and help you navigate the challenges of building a startup.

All our conversations are confidential - what gets discussed in the colony stays in the colony!

We’re in this boat together.

Our mastermind programs group startup founders and CEOs by experience, field, or business model to create a true peer group you can trust and learn from.

We know the power of peer support first hand - you can read about the benefits we’ve personally gained from peer groups here.

How it works

Peer meetings

Monthly meetings are the heart of our program. Fully online, these accountability calls include inspiration, troubleshooting and building trusted connections.

Every quarter we do an in-person retreat to meet face-to-face and take time from the grind for a mindful strategic reset.

Executive coaching

Twice a month, you work with a dedicated mentor who has been in your shoes, building a company.

Whether you need an accountability buddy, specific advice, or just a sounding board for your strategy, we guide you on the best path for your company (and for your career).

Exclusive resources

From curated investor lists to fundraising templates we’re sharing all our secrets with the colony!

Helpful guest speakers and a topnotch network for referrals and introductions are just a few of the other perks of joining our masterminds.

  • Regular monthly peer meetings and twice monthly coaching calls are virtual. So, whether you are in Washington State, Miami, or Toronto, Gliding Ant is here to support you. Every quarter we organize an in-person retreat, usually somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.

  • This program is for early stage founders and CEOs who have raised <$10M in capital with their current company. We accept founders from all backgrounds and geographies who are focused on self-improvement, growing their companies, and helping their peers.

    We typically focus on deep tech and climate tech founders. However, we take a broad view of deep tech, so please contact us if you have any questions.

  • No. The program is by invitation only - complete our intake form to setup an interview.

    We look for high agency, self-improvement focused founders that are eager to help their peers grow, and who we trust will be great additions to our exclusive group.

  • We know you’re busy, so the minimum investment of time is 3 hours per month - 90 minutes for your peer group, and two 30 minute coaching calls. Other activities, like guest speakers and the in-person retreat are highly recommended but optional.

    We’re currently offering a 3-for-1 sign-up deal, with your first quarter costing only $500 for 3 months, and $500/month thereafter.
