Stop Carrying the Weight of Your Business Solo.

Bootstrapping is freedom, but it shouldn't be lonely. Get matched with a curated group of ambitious European founders running 6 and 7-figure businesses - without the 24/7 grind.

If you are accepted, you'll join one of our founder cohorts - a handpicked group of 4-6 European bootstrapped founders (making 6 or 7 figures in annual revenue).

We review every application to ensure a strong fit - in stage, ambition, and values.

If you haven't watched it yet, here is a quick video about the 40 Hour Entrepreneur Club & what to expect:

We believe that entrepreneurship is a team sport.

As a member, you'll move from feeling alone with your hardest decisions to having a support system of founders and experts:

Your Personal Board of Founders

A dedicated peer group that meets monthly in a hosted virtual meeting to share challenges, wins, insights and tactics.

Q&A Sessions with successful Founders & Experts

A private space to ask your most pressing questions on topics like customer acquisition, marketing, work-life balance or team building, and get honest, direct answers from people who have successfully navigated the same path. Recent guests included 7-figure bootstrapped founders and a Head of Sales from an AI startup.
