Peer Groups

As fellow founders & leaders, we know how challenging it can be at the top. Challenges you’re often not able to speak to your colleagues, investors, board members, partner or co-founder about - so as not to worry them.To solve this many successful founders we know use Peer Groups as a way to sanity check decisions, help with accountability, and keep them motivated on this long journey of building and growing your business.While it’s already common to find Peer Groups’s amongst Global CEO’s & High Net Worth Individuals, here at United Founders we are looking to bring this to every leader who wants to have a squad who can provide them feedback & support as you grow your business.

What Is A Founder Peer Group?

A “Peer Group” may be defined as the:“Coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.”— Napoleon Hill, Think And Grow Rich, 1937Peer Groups are small groups of people that have similar experiences, challenges, and trajectories in their businesses. Quite simply, they are the embodiment of the phrase: Two (or more) minds are better than one.

What Are The Benefits?

There are three clear benefits of being a part of a Peer Group:

  • GROWTH: By surrounding yourself with folks that can provide you with informed advice, qualified referrals, and critical constructive feedback on your failures in a safe space — you are just setting yourself up with both the resources and guidance you need to focus on growing your business.

  • ACCOUNTABILITY: As many founders & leaders know, keeping yourself accountable when you're the one making all the decisions can be really challenging. Peer groups can help here as during a meeting there will be a period of time where each member is in the hot seat, discussing past goals and their progress, setting new goals and tracking them, and reporting back to your peer group with updates along the way. By asking your peer group to help you be accountable to your business, you're also committing to holding them accountable.

  • MENTAL: Humans are generally social beings. Napoleon Hill mentions that the convergence of two individual minds creates a third, invisible force that combines the strength of both of its components. When you share your vulnerabilities and your joy with other people, you magnify your own experience and make it the experience of those around you. The power that comes from those shared experiences can be just as compelling and empowering as your individual success.

How United Founders will help you form a Peer Group?

1) You Complete our Peer Group Application

As a first step we ask you to complete a questionnaire that helps us get a feel for your experience level, expectations, work + personality styles, and other key criteria that allows us to make informed matches.

2) We Hand Select Peer Group Members

Based on your application & past conversations we've had with you during the application process we put together a small group of members that we feel have the best chance of connecting on a meaningful level.

3) We Help Moderate The First Meeting For You

Once we have put together groups of 6 founders, we will help schedule a meeting time that works for you all, give you the Peer Group sheet to complete & then help moderate the first meeting so you understand how all the different parts work! After that its over to you!

4) You're Off!

Now that you understand how the format of the meeting works & you have your completed Peer Group tracker - its then up to you & your peer group members to meet every 6 weeks!

Peer Group FAQs

How many people will there be in my Peer Group?

There are many opinions on this — some organizations will consider their entire c-suite members of their “Senior Leadership Circle”. Some communities will establish Peer Groups of 10-20 people, but in those cases the focus is less on the individual and more focused on lifting all boats.Here at United Founders— we recommend groups of six. This allows you to hear a few different perspectives, but is still familiar enough that you can maintain a sense of focus on one another. And if a peer group has more members than this - people may find they are not getting enough individual attention.

How often will we meet?

While this is something that ultimately you can decide depending on what each of your members can achieve between each session.We find that meeting every six weeks for longer 3-4 hours allows you to be able to deeply get to know your fellow members, while still being something that you can fit into your busy schedule & becomes a meeting you really look forward to.

What happens if I don't match with my fellow Peer Group members?

Sometimes things just don’t work out. Personalities may not be a match, people may not be able to make meetings anymore, it just may not be the right fit. Our suggestion: give it another shot. Be a bit more vulnerable. Give a little bit more.If it just doesn’t seem to be working,then your group may just need to part ways. Don’t take it personally — you can still have a meaningful relationship if the professional relationship isn’t it for you. If this is the case, you can email us and we’ll rematch you in a new Peer Group as long as your are still a member of United Founders.

What happens if I can't make Peer Group meetings?

Our aim is for buy-in. If you apply, you should be committed to this process.If you quit, are unresponsive, or are otherwise not committed to joining the meetings however, we will simply replace you with another member & not set you up with another group.

Fireside Chat, Drinks & Canapés with Dare Jennings, Founder of Deus Ex Machina & Mambo

Reserve Your Ticket : USD40-60

For this month's United Founders event we are fortunate enough to welcome Dare Jennings, Founder of Deus Ex Machina & Mambo to join us for a Fireside Chat, Drinks & Canapés at Mason, Canggu.Dare's business savvy comes from a wild and intuitive place. A truly maverick entrepreneur, Jennings doesn't know (or care!) if his ideas or business methodologies are right or wrong by conventional standards. He simply knows what he does and has the strength of character to back his own plays.Now in his 70's (and still backing himself), Dare is once again the head of an international counter-culture brand, Deus Ex Machina. Starting as an almost whimsically retro motorbike shop in Sydney's inner west, Deus has now spread throughout four continents with stores in Australia, the U.S., Indonesia and Italy.Aside from the incredible fact of an Australian selling Italian style motorbikes to Italians, Dare has once again leveraged the cultural history of surfing, combined with the ideals of the road warrior to create an enduring and engaging lifestyle clothing brand that speaks to the heart of our desire for freedom.During this chat Dare will share more about:

  • How to lead a brand revolution - You may remember a time before surfwear was big business. If you do, then you'll remember the brand that started it all. Mambo - iconic, brash, bold and colourful. It proved that surfwear could be more than just boardshorts and singlets and in doing so created an entire industry of fashion clothing. And now Dare Jennings, the man who started it all, has done it again with Deus Ex Machina, a rapidly expanding global motorcycle and surf brand. If you're in the business of disruptive change, this is the perspective you need.

  • How to lead a global business - What happens when you start a humble clothing line and wind up an icon of Australian counter-culture? Or when you decide to build retro motorbikes and discover that Italy has a deep and abiding passion for your product? The answer is simple: go global. Leveraging his insight into Australian culture, Dare Jennings has created two uniquely iconic Australian exports without resorting to cultural cliches.

  • How to lead culture from the front lines - When you visit Dare Jennings, you're not ushered into a sterile office to talk with a disconnected CEO. Instead you're transported into a world that feels a little like a Steve McQueen movie; this is the showroom floor at Deus Ex Machina. Dare isn't a disconnected leader - he's on the frontlines of the culture war. The one where your brand goes global? or disappears forever. Dare knows his customers, knows who they are and who they perceive themselves to be. He has fine-tuned the atmosphere to appeal to the deep-rooted desires of the male psyche, and is well aware of the contention his products cause in many men's better halves!

  • Plus many more insights, learnings & stories from Dare's experience being at the centre of business, culture & art for the last 40+ years!
