The Retreat
Eight days in Kenya to work on your business, recharge, and grow with a group of women who are all building something meaningful.
We start at Arimuni House in Nairobi and continue to Watamu by the ocean. Expect daily yoga, kitesurf sessions, flexible free-focus blocks, and co-creation masterclasses where everyone contributes.
Who’s it for
Female founders ready for the next step in their business. Solo founders, small teams, and women who are actively building and ready to learn, share, and move faster together. Are you still starting or pre-launch? This is also for you!
We're curating the group intentionally so the room has a strong mix of strengths, including:
- Personal branding and content
- Sales and partnerships
- Operations and systems
- Fundraising and investor relations
- Product and design
- Engineering and tech
