Compass is where you get to slow down, step away and plan — with other founders who get it.

When you’re deep in the day-to-day of your biz, it’s easy to lose sight of where you’re going.

We’ve intentionally designed Compass to give women+ founders the space they need to reset and realign their business.

Our retreat is for local founders who are ready to close the books on the year, get real about what's working (and what’s not) and map out a plan for what’s next.

Our intention

This is the biz retreat where you get clear on what’s next.

A business planning retreat for female and nonbinary founders
  • We take an honest look at last year — revenue, results, what you hit and what you missed — so you can assess what’s next.

    Note: While you’ll analyze your numbers, there’s not a requirement to share your financials publicly.

  • You’ll set goals rooted in last year's results. You’ll write them down and visualize them, so you leave knowing exactly what to focus on.

  • You’ll get specific about how to reach your goals — when they’ll happen, how to get there and where you need to adjust to make them a reality.

  • We brainstorm, mastermind and vision board together. You’ll leave with new founder friends who support you and your business.

  • Compass isn't a coaching program. It's a retreat where you get dedicated time and space to plan — with a room full of founders as your sounding board.

  • We carve out space for you to recharge — with some solo time, movement and an elevated, private dinner just for us.

“The best ideas for my business have come from these annual retreats. I'm able to dedicate true time to defining what I'm going after and refine those ideas with a group of brilliant business women who are cheering me on.

“Everything was dreamy. The location, the vision boarding, the conversations, the calendaring. Usually these types of things feel good and work in the moment, but accountability falls off within weeks. That’s not true here.

Continual checkins are keeping us up-to-date celebrating wins and supporting one another when life gets in the way.”

— Angela, founder & retreat attendee

Our FAQs

A few things you may be wondering

  • Compass is designed for female and nonbinary founders who are at least one year into their business by the time of the retreat. That first year of data (numbers, results, wins, misses) is what you will use to build your plan. If you're not quite there yet, we'd love to have you at a future retreat.

  • That's exactly why Compass exists. You don't need to come in with a polished plan or know the "right" way to do it. We'll work through it together, as a group.

  • No — and that's intentional. Compass isn't a coaching program. It's your dedicated time and space to do the planning work yourself, with a room full of founders as your sounding board.

  • After you register, you'll receive everything you need to know about what to pack. As for prep work — there is some you’ll want to do. You'll get all the details at our intro meeting a few weeks before the retreat, so you have plenty of time to gather everything.

  • No need to worry about that! We handle all room bookings on our end. The only thing you'll need at check-in is a card on file for incidentals.

  • We’ll meet as a group in the lobby at 10:30am. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to check in and get settled before we kick things off.

  • You'll be on your way no later than 5pm.

  • Yes — just let us know your dietary restrictions when you register and we'll make sure you're taken care of.

  • Your promo code is waiting for you in our Foundership virtual portal! Log in and you'll find it there, under Announcements.

  • Nope! Compass is open to any female or nonbinary founder — no membership required.

  • You're welcome to, as long as they're a female or nonbinary founder too! Just keep in mind that each ticket is for one person, so your friend will need to register and purchase their own spot.

  • Yes! We offer a 50/50 payment plan — half upfront, half due closer to the retreat. Just reach out to us directly and we'll get it set up for you (hello@thefoundership.com).

  • We know life happens, but please note that all sales are final — there are no refunds once your spot is confirmed. If you have questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out.

  • If you have any other questions please reach out to hello@thefoundership.com.
