Who It's For

Built for operators already in the game.

Compound is intentionally curated. The $7,500 ticket is the filter — the room is full of people building at scale, not starting out.

01

The seasoned operator

3+ years in, running revenue-generating businesses. Done with beginner content — you want peer access and real answers on structure, team, and capital.

02

The 1-to-many builder

Own one business, actively moving toward multiple. Exploring ETA, bolt-on acquisitions, or incubating a second venture.

03

The platform operator

CEO, COO, or GM inside a family office, holdco, or PE-backed platform navigating scale — and looking for peers solving the same problems.

Why Attend

The kind of room that
actually moves the needle.

Forget fluorescent-lit ballrooms and stale networking. Three days in a setting built for real conversation.

Real frameworks from real operators

Structure, team building, capital allocation, M&A integration — from people actually doing it, not consultants theorizing about it.

Ideas you won't hear on a podcast

Unfiltered conversations on ETA structures, bolt-on acquisitions, AI arbitrage inside real businesses, and partnering with outside capital. The playbook behind the playbook.

Connect with people playing the same game

The caliber of the room is the product. Multi-business owners, holdco operators, serious builders — the ones you usually only follow on X.

Leave with specific moves

Specific hires to make, deals to source, structures to consider. Takeaways that matter for your business next week — not a pile of generic notes.

Testimonials

The room speaks for itself.

Super valuable content, conversations and community. The energy was palpable the entire conference. Didn't want it to end.

THE place to learn about running and successfully operating a HoldCo. A "who's who" of leaders doing ambitious stuff. Made friendships I'll cultivate for years.

A Look Inside 2026

Last year's room
set the bar.

Multi-business owners, holding company operators, and builders gathered in Sundance for three days of unfiltered sessions, dinners, and chairlift conversations. Skipped the fluff, went deep on structure, capital, and what comes next.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Compound is intentionally small (up to 150 attendees) and curated. The $7,500 ticket filters out tire-kickers and first-time searchers. Real talks from practitioners, not consultants. Alpine setting, not a hotel ballroom. And you'll actually remember the conversations you had.
