A community for the founders, operators, investors, and acquisition entrepreneurs building AI-powered companies, and turning traditional businesses into intelligent ones.
Apply only · the first cohort is forming now.
Most AI communities are a Discord, a Zoom link, and a LinkedIn feed. We do the opposite. We get founders in the same room, around the same table, building real things together.
For people building with AI, putting AI to work inside their companies, or turning a traditional business into an intelligent one. We gather them in person, not in another channel to mute.
Building AI products and vertical AI companies from the ground up.
Putting AI to work inside a real operation that already makes money.
COOs and presidents modernizing how the company actually runs.
Buying traditional businesses and transforming them into intelligent ones.
Backing the next generation of intelligent companies.
Engineers and tinkerers shipping agents, workflows, and systems.
No slides. No sponsors. No pitching. We run three things consistently and get founders building real things together. The asset is the relationships.
10 to 15 founders, a private room, no sales and no presentations. The conversation is the event.
Laptops open, hours on the clock, one goal. Leave with a working agent, workflow, or system.
Walk a company being transformed and see dispatch, production, and dashboards running live.
Plus hot seats, operator roundtables, founder walks, company teardowns, and advisory boards. The summit, retreat, and quarterly series come once the core is real.
"I have sat at the table in a lot of these companies. The ones that make it through the next decade will not be the biggest, they will be the ones that built a brain. I started this so the people building that future stop doing it alone."
TMI builds intelligent companies. Founders of the Future gathers the people building them. Do either, or both.
Get into the dinners, build labs, and tours with the people building AI-powered companies.
Apply to join →Have TMI map your operation and build the systems that turn it into an intelligent company.
Book a TMI audit →We keep the rooms small and the bar high. Tell us what you are building and we will be in touch about the next dinner, lab, or tour.
Membership is application-based, not a paid subscription. Some premium experiences like retreats may carry a cost, but the core community, dinners, and labs are about contribution, not a fee.
In person is the whole point. Dinners, build labs, and tours are local and analog. We will add virtual roundtables over time, but the relationships are built face to face.
No. Plenty of members never build with TMI. The community stands on its own. If you do want your systems built, TMI is right there, but it is never a requirement.
Thanks for applying to Founders of the Future. We review every application personally and will be in touch about the next room. In the meantime, you can book a TMI audit if you want your systems built.
