About Elea

About Elea

A global community focused on purpose-led entrepreneurs, Elea embodies a commitment to deepening authentic friendships and opportunities for builders to learn from one another.

Spanning multiple continents, the Elea community is a soulful home for a new generation of entrepreneurs driven by a purpose bigger than themselves. Where friendship, connection, and serendipity abound.

Elea serves members who serve the world. Our members are building meaningful ventures that transform how we grow food, harness energy, and how we live, making life better and more accessible for more people. Helping shape their journey is a privilege and our 100-year purpose.

Just being able to spend time with a very focused, intentional group in a new environment is just so powerful for growth. "

What makes Elea different


There are three principles that make Elea compared to other networks and communities.

Curation

Elea is built on a foundation of shared values. We look for those who are crazy, limitless and purpose-driven. If there’s one thing that binds our members all together, it’s this: despite the enormity of their success, they’re not done building. Elea members are not done building companies, nor are they done building themselves. This is what differentiates the members of Elea from other family office and post-exit founder communities.

Confidentiality

We create a confidential space to share opportunities and obstacles without judgement or solicitation. Shared values and a shared journey ensure a safe container for risk-taking and radical acceptance. Elea is where the most generous, visionary and compassionate people grow together. The community co-creates a container of support, inspiration and deep belonging for like-minded entrepreneurs—no one struggles or celebrates alone.

Commitment

Elea is a commitment to show up and act bravely in the spaces that matter most to us. The more members give, the more they receive from the community. They get what you give—your effort compounds your investment. We value your participation, your contribution and how you show up in the community.

We’ve been given an incredible opportunity to transform the inner and outer lives each of our member's journeys toward greater meaning and impact. Our 100-year mission is to surface the kinds of friendships that help our members express the truest versions of themselves. What could be more meaningful than that."

The art of effortlessness

The philosophy of sprezzatura—the art of effortlessness is core to Elea's in-person and virtual experience. We bring hospitality and experience design together to spark serendipity and create magic. We are focused on nurturing the creative spirit of our members and accompanying them as they bring their creative visions to life.

Our lodges and camps in the Serengeti in Tanzania are Faru Faru and Sasakwa Lodges, Mara River Tented Camp, Sabora Tented Camp, Explore Mobile Tented Camp and exclusive-use villas, Serengeti House, Milele and Kilima. Kwitonda Lodge and Kataza House, a private-use villa, are set.

When you're meeting new people, it sparks that continuous desire to keep learning. It keeps you open to hearing different perspectives. It opens you up. And that person you meet becomes a friend and that changes your life."

—Rodrigo Ricaud, Founder of Moskinto

The journey so far

Today, Elea is a tightly-knit team and a founding community that spans from New York City to Copenhagen. After spending 18 months handpicking our founding members, turning over hundreds of applications from successful entrepreneurs, we selected 25 members with exceptional track records and the ambitions to keep building.

A vision for the future

We reject growing at blitzscale or losing the magic of what makes our community special. We are focused on intentional, steady growth, slowly expanding a collective designed to serve 150 members, a global community of heart-led builders.  By serving exceptional post-exit founders & family offices around the world, we are focused on creating a profound, meaningful impact in some of the world's most pressing challenges.
