Founder's Weekend

Wealth and Wellness Retreat

"Something deep down kept telling me that I needed to be in that room."

Katy Coffield, FOUNDER OF FOODIE TRIBE

Four Days with

the WomenWho Will Change Your Business, and Your Life

Founders Weekend is our signature event, where we bring hundreds of ambitious women founders together in one room. Your next collaborator, referral partner, and best friend are already in this room, and the relationships you build here become the foundation for everything that comes next.

Thursday to Sunday, September 9 to 12, 2027

PGA National Resort, Palm Beach Gardens, FL

In partnership with

"Founders Weekend was really something magical. A room full of ambitious women who are building something meaningful, and who are genuinely invested in each other’s success, showing up for each other in ways I haven’t experienced before."

Lisa Cherfane, Cherfane & Co.

Your Network Is Your

Greatest Business Asset

So much of what grows your business comes back to relationships, and the deepest ones are built face to face.

Founders Weekend exists because you asked us to create it. You loved connecting online inside the Entreprenista League, and you wanted time together in person, where friendships and business relationships go deeper. So we created one place for all of us to come together.

Over 4 days, the conversations go further than they ever could on a screen. You have the opportunity to share openly about revenue, pricing, hiring, and the seasons that test you, both in business and in life. Nothing feels forced, and before long, your new business best friend is turning to you and asking, “how can I help?”

This is where the real business magic® happens.

Most importantly, you’ll leave with friendships that keep growing long after the weekend ends.

What You’llEXPERIENCE

Where Meaningful Connections Become Lasting Friendships

A Weekend To Recharge and Connect

Visibility That Opens Doors

A Foundation For Your Next Stage Of Growth

Here’s exactly what our members experienced last year…

Relationships That Kept

Growing Long After Sunday

Leslee built relationships with her referral partners and turned them into meaningful connections that continue to send business her way.

“I was a first-time attendee at Entreprenista Founders Weekend and I cannot rave enough about how incredibly well executed it was, how much I learned from the amazing speakers, what a joy it was to meet several excellent referral partners in person and get time with them.”

Leslee Cohen All Rise Legal Counsel

Melissa watched the faces from her screen finally become friends she could hug.

“Getting to meet all these women IRL at Founders Weekend after a year and a half of getting to know each other and collaborating? A dream come true!”

Melissa Armstrong Capitalized Consulting, LLC

Jess didn’t know anyone when she arrived. Today, the connections she made there have helped her double her revenue.

“I was welcomed in with loving arms by everyone, and it’s just radically changed everything. Founders Weekend changed my life and business.”

Jess Gleim Jessica Gleim, LLC

When Community Support

Became Instant Action

Natasha asked the question most people keep to themselves, and found instant support.

“Before I sat down, women were already lined up. Some came to offer their expertise and support. Some came to say thank you for asking because they were carrying the same question. One woman told me she had recorded the way I introduced my business on her phone because it helped her find the words for her own story.”

Natasha Broxton Alitura Group

Lisa saw firsthand how fast this community shows up for one another.

“I died on the spot when Suzanne Appel, founder of Young CEO Squad, shared her ask and instantly 10 women stood up to help her. I love that about us!”

Lisa Simone Richards Pearl Spark Pages

Pallavi came back for a second year to the women in her corner.

“Being in a room with 300+ women who hype you up, open doors, and actually want to see you win is something special.”

Pallavi Pande DTOCS

A Bigger Vision

For Their Business

Danae realized she’d been dreaming too small.

“My biggest takeaway from the weekend is that while I’ve been dreaming big, I haven’t been dreaming big enough. This weekend really opened my eyes to what is possible with the right people in your corner.”

Danae Gabriel Superbloom Talent

Alicia left with a possibility for her business she’d never considered.

“It planted a seed that I could sell or license part of my business, and how that could look.”

Alicia Nagel Alicia Nagel Creative

Madalina got expert advice on a challenge she was facing in her business, right when she needed it.

“I got to sit down with Carrie Kerpen and talk through a specific situation I’m going through with my company that shifted things for me immediately.”

“Founders Weekend is better than any business ‘conference’ I’ve attended. I hesitate to even use the word conference because Founders Weekend is more upbeat, interactive, lively and inspiring than networking events of the past. The connections made are genuine and un-pressured.”

Emily Paulsen, Electric Collab

And Katy almost stayed home…

“At first, I was hesitant to go. Stepping away from my family for several days, especially over a weekend, felt like a big decision. But something deep down kept telling me that I needed to be in that room, and I’m so grateful I listened.”

Let’s Get All Your

Questions Answered

I don’t know anyone yet. Will I feel comfortable?

We will be hosting virtual meetups ahead of Founders Weekend so you will not feel alone walking into the weekend. Plus you will also have access to our attendee-only room inside the community platform so you can connect ahead of the weekend with your new business best friends. You’re part of this community, and you’ll feel it from the very first hello.

I’m an introvert. Will I be able to enjoy it?

Absolutely, and you’ll be in good company. There are plenty of chances to connect one-on-one or around a small table, and the weekend has just enough structure that you never have to wonder where to go or who to talk to. When you need a breather, there’s plenty of time to step away, rest, and recharge on your own terms.

Do I need to be a member to attend?

Yes, Founders Weekend is an event exclusively for our Entreprenista League members. If you’re not a member yet, you can join the community and reserve your ticket at the same time, and our team will walk you through it on a personal call that you can schedule right here.

Is it worth the investment?

Our members share it is the best investment they have made in their business. Your network is the most powerful growth strategy you have, at every stage of business, and the relationships you build here become the people who open doors and champion your work long after you head home.

What’s included, and what do I book separately?

Included with your ticket: the Thursday welcome party with appetizers and cocktails or mocktails, breakfast each morning (Friday to Sunday), lunch on Friday and Saturday, and every gift along the way. VIP guests also enjoy an intimate Friday dinner and a spa treatment (facial or massage) on Thursday or Sunday. Booked separately: your travel and hotel room. We’ve reserved rooms at the resort at an exclusive rate for our attendees, and this year’s rate is our best yet. You’ll get access to reserve your room the moment you reserve your ticket. We recommend arriving on Thursday morning and checking out on Monday so you can enjoy the full day on Sunday after the event concludes.

Latrice Smith

Entreprenista’s Founders Weekend was more than I could have expected. From the luxurious accommodations to the enriching experiences, every aspect of the event was exceptional. The camaraderie among attendees, insightful panel sessions, and thoughtful gift bags truly made it an unforgettable experience. I left feeling inspired and equipped with valuable knowledge and connections.

This was hands down one of the best weekends of 2024 for me. Do it again!! Love you ladies!

One Last Note

From Us

If you’re reading our note to you, we have a feeling that part of you is already imagining yourself at Founders Weekend. We also know that stepping away from your business, your family, and the many people who count on you is never a small decision. Even taking a few days for yourself can feel like a lot to ask.

But over the years, we’ve seen just how much can change when a woman gives herself the time and space to invest in herself.

The women you’ve only known through a screen become the friends you call when you need advice, a little encouragement, or someone who just gets it. The ideas you’ve been sitting on finally have space to grow. And the support you may not have even realized you needed finds its way to you through the women beside you. Some of the most meaningful relationships in our lives and businesses have come from simply showing up, being open, and giving ourselves the opportunity to connect. We want that for you, too. Because the women you meet here will become so much more than connections. They will become the ones celebrating your biggest wins, opening doors you didn’t know existed, reminding you what you’re capable of, and standing beside you when business or life gets hard. If you’ve been feeling drawn to experience the magic of Founders Weekend, we hope you’ll give yourself permission to say yes. Four days to invest in your business, your well-being, and the relationships that will continue to support you long after the weekend ends. We would truly love to experience this weekend with you. And we can’t wait for you to see what can happen when you surround yourself with women who genuinely want to see you succeed.

With love,

Stephanie & Courtney
