Founder Circles
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 Founder & Leadership Circles as a way to sanity check decisions, help with accountability, and keep them motivated on this long journey of building and growing your business.
What Is A Founder Circle?
A “Founder Circle” 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, 1937Founder Circles 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.While it’s already common to find Circle’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 Are The Benefits?
There are three clear benefits of being a part of a Circle:
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. We'll talk about some of the formats of Founder Circles during our onboarding phase— but during most circle meetings, there is a point in 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 Circle with updates along the way. By asking your Circle 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 helps me form a Founder Circle?
1) Complete our Founder Circle Application
We focus on a number of key data points and applicant narrative responses to get a feel for each applicants experience level, expectations, work + personality styles, and other key criteria that allows us to make informed matches
The Logistics
Location
Timezone
Language
The Person
Experience
Skill Set
Personal Life
The Business
Size
Industry
Ambition
2) We Hand Select Founders
Using the data points applicants submit, we’ve created a matching system to generate small groups of founder that we feel have the best chance of connecting on a meaningful level. This high touch experience gives us not only a strong understanding of who you are as a person but also what is your ambition when it comes to your business.
3) We Introduce You & You're Off
Once we have put together groups of 3-4 founders, we will email you with an introduction, a startup guide, some recommendations on how to begin your first meeting, and a few extra tools that will make it easier for you to start running your own Founder Circle!
Founder Circle FAQs
How many people will there be in my CIrcle?
There are many opinions on this — some organizations will consider their entire c-suite members of their “Senior Leadership Circle”. Some communities will establish a Founder Circle 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 three or four. 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. If a mastermind has five or more people, members may find they are not getting enough individual attention.
How often will we meet?
This is something that you and your fellow mastermind members should decide. Successful Founder Circle have run on weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly schedules. It really depends on what each of your members can achieve between each session.We find however that meeting monthly for longer slightly longer periods of time 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 & if anything becomes a meeting you really look forward to every month.
What happens if I don't match with my fellow Circle 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 Circle as long as your are a member of United Founders.
What happens if I can't make Circle 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 keep your money and buy the other members of your group coffee, on you.

How Nuanu City Wants To Change The Way We Live
With Sergey Solonin, Founder of Nuanu City & Johannes Weissenbeck, Founder of OXO Group
When it comes to Bali's urban development, many feel there is a certain inevitability as to how things will play out. With the island's hungry tourism industry leading to the continual sprawl along the South coast, combined with traffic jams, shoddy construction and a general feeling that things are developing faster than the island can keep up with.The Nuanu & OXO team however believes there is another way!They believe that by looking ahead, partnering with Pantai Nyanyi land owners, and by leading by example in the form of a 50-hectare development titled Nuanu City - that they can build a sustainable ecosystem where people-built infrastructure, nature, organisations, and economies work in harmony together to create something greater than each part.Ambitious? Yes! Crazy? Quite possibly. Inspiring? Hugely so!So much so for this Quarter’s large United Founder event we are incredibly fortunate to have Sergey Solonin, Founder of Nuanu & Johannes Weissenbeck, Founder of OXO joining us to talk more about:
Their vision for Nuanu City and how they hope this will change the way we live, and help overcome some of the challenges Bali and even the World faces today.
How the both the Bali community & business community can actively get involved with the Nuanu City project.
Their thoughts and hopes how the community can expand their hopes and vision to the whole of Pantai Nyanyi and Bali as a whole!
Following on from this presentation and fireside chat, they will also kindly be taking audience questions - which given the amazing scope and nature of this project there will no doubt be a number of!After which will have exclusive access to Mason's Backroom where you can meet fellow United Founders members and where we will serve Nusa Cana rum inspired classic cocktails, Kura Kura beer & premium canapés from Mason's Backroom Selection.

Fireside Chat, Drinks & Canapés with Gary Bencheghib, Founder of Sungai Watch
Reserve Your Ticket : USD40-60
For this month's United Founders event we are fortunate enough to welcome Gary Bencheghib, Founder of Sungai Watch to join us for a Fireside Chat, Drinks & Canapés at Mason, Canggu.Having grown up in Bali, Gary saw the rapid impact of plastic pollution where every rainy season, Bali would become the island of plastic. So at the age of 14 he decided to do something about it and started cleaning up the beaches.13 years later, Gary Bencheghib and his two siblings are now on a full mission to clean Indonesia’s rivers with Sungai Watch – a team of river warriors working to create solutions to water pollution across the island.Within the first 16 months, the 55 120 strong team has installed 130 180 trash barriers in Bali’s rivers, and diverted over 430,000 700,000 kilos of trash. The siblings and the Sungai Watch team aim to install trash barriers in every river in Indonesia by 2025, and expand their work internationally.During this chat Gary will share more about:
Circle economy business models - How by designing simple trash barriers and operating a collection, sorting and up-cycling system, as well as donations they have created a scalable approach to tackling plastic pollution. Models that other businesses or NGOs can look to adopt into their own organizations.
How Sungai Watch approaches marketing - From riding a trash boat up one of Indonesia’s dirtiest rivers which led to a meeting with President Jokowi, to huge trash art installations, to community outreach & education, etc. Gary will explain how brand owners need to approach marketing in 2023.
His thoughts on where the world really stands on sustainability - Having spoken directly to world leaders, community leaders, business owners & the general public - he will talk more about what is really being done behind closed doors & what still needs to change going forward.
Plus many more insights, learnings & stories from Gary’s experience being at the front line of Indonesia’s trash cleanup revolution!
Following on from the talk, we will have exclusive access to Mason's Backroom where you can meet fellow United Founders members and where we will serve Nusa Cana rum inspired classic cocktails, Kura Kura beer & premium canapés from Mason's Backroom Selection.

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!
Following on from the talk, we will have exclusive access to Mason's Backroom where you can meet fellow United Founders members and where we will serve Nusa Cana rum inspired classic cocktails, Kura Kura beer & premium canapés from Mason's Backroom Selection.
