š Beyond Runway
A private, curated community for revenue-generating founders who learn fast, move faster, and win together.
If youāre doing $50K+ a year and youāre serious about building a durable, profitable company, this is where you belong.
Why most founder communities suck
(and waste your time)
Letās call it out:
Promo spam & humbleābrags: Endless selfāpromotion, zero substance.
Wrong room problem: Full of non-founders or hobby businesses ā no one āgetsā your stage.
No curation: Too big, too noisy, no standards. Zero depth ā zero ROI.
Generic advice (āwork on your mindsetā) instead of practical help for hiring, GTM, churn, fundraising, cash flow, and deals.
Mismatched stages: You need answers to $10K problems, you get $100 advice.
Events for the sake of events: Unclear value prop, unclear outcomes.
Sound familiar? Same.
You donāt need more fluffy motivation or another noisy WhatsApp group. You need a small circle of serious operators whoāll tell you the truth, share what actually works, and help you skip dumb (expensive) mistakes.
Why I Started Beyond Runway
Iāll be real with you.
I quit my job in 2021 to build my first startup. It flopped hard.
What saved me? Other founders. Not gurus, not motivational talks ā real founders whoād failed, bounced back, and shared the gritty details of what actually worked the second time around. Those conversations gave me perspective, shortcuts, and the confidence to try again.
My second startup? That one got acquired.
Hereās the truth: most founder communities I joined were noisy, self-promotional, or filled with people who werenāt even building real businesses. But when you get into a room of serious founders who share openly ā the game changes.
Thatās why I built Beyond Runway.
A curated, no-BS space where ambitious founders can learn from failure, share playbooks, and move faster together.

š° WHY NOW MATTERS ā³
(THE COST OF WAITING)
Now, you might be asking yourself, āWhy should I join Beyond Runway instead of waiting?ā
Well, there's never a "perfect" time for anything. But there is a cost to waiting.Ā
Right now, while you're figuring things out, you might be making costly mistakes without even knowing them.
Not because you're doing anything wrong - but because you haven't figured everything out yet.
And thatās exactly where the danger lies. Every founder pays what I call the ātrial-and-error tax.ā
Maybe youāre burning months testing a strategy another founder could fix for you in 10 minutes.
Or missing an intro that could have landed your next investor, customer, or hire.
Or scaling the wrong way ā and only realising it when itās too late to undo.
And that tax compounds.
The longer you wait, the more runway you burn.
Meanwhile, the founders who plug into the right room today ā who ask, share, and execute with others whoāve been there ā skip the tax and move faster.
PS - Iām capping Beyond Runway at 50 founders to keep it high-signal. After that, the doors close.
Zero-risk guarantee
Try it for 30 days. If you donāt find it useful, email me and Iāll refund you. No forms. No hoops. No hard feelings.
Worst case: You get your money back and learn from top founders and content.
Best case: You make the smartest decision for you and your business today.
