We formed Elea to transform the lives of builders changing the world

Our vision for the 21st century is radical abundance. Technology is transforming how we harness energy, treat disease, grow food, work and live. There is no greater impact than accelerating the impact of entrepreneurial builders—serial founders, post-exit founders, and family offices—with the resources, creative talent, and energy to make a dent in the universe. By connecting them with each other and their inner purpose, we help build things that matter with people we love.

OUR COMMUNITY IS MADE UP OF

OUR COMMUNITY IS MADE UP OF

Serial Entrepreneurs

Repeat founders with a purpose-driven mindset find Elea to be a powerful ecosystem where they can learn from the perspectives and insights of fellow builders and talented post-exit founders.

Post-Exit Founders

At key transition moments of their lives, like after exiting a business, we found entrepreneurs asking the same question, "What's next?" Elea is a community that accompanies these builders on that path.

Family Offices

We are home for first-generation family office principals and next-generation family offices that are tired of "talk but no action" and are working to deploy their resources to meaningful ventures.

Purpose-driven

Elea is full of entrepreneurial people who are driven by a purpose greater than themselves. These builders tackle ambitious global challenges—we believe not everything hard is worth doing, but everything worth doing is hard.

Uncommonly patient

Elea's members take an uncommonly patient & unconventional approach to building their ventures. They seek to align their cap tables and team with their long term vision for their organizations.

Artists not copiers

Great founders are artists as much as they are entrepreneurs. Elea members are fascinating people who are far more interested in making things that matter than copying what already exists.

Regular Braintrusts

Elea's Braintrusts introduce new possibilities for how to claim leadership in your life. Held once a month, the Braintrust is filled with meaningful conversations, twists & turns, experiential learnings, threshold moments, and deep reflection and action. It is how we learn deeply & honor each other's wisdom.

The Elea Summit

Once a year, The Elea Summit convenes our entire community. We are all committed to transcending handshakes and superficial relationships, and instead forging lifelong relationships. This is a rare opportunity to step back from our daily lives, and take in the magic of a unique gathering of remarkable individuals—this year in Mexico City.

Quarterly Masterclasses

Elea's 1.5 day intensives in New York City are hosted in collaboration with leading facilitators and exceptional company builders who help our members work through specific challenges and unlock new ways of thinking, being, and knowing as they build daring new ventures.

From our members

From our members

"It really comes down to friendship. That's why this community is different from others out there. I'm looking for people who are very committed to change the way wealth serves the world. Elea is it.

ROSTAM ZAFARI

"Elea is full of people who are unconventional—not just from a business perspective, but also in how they think about their place in the world. Finding those people is hard, and Elea has become my tribe."

JESS MAH

"Earlier in my life, I feel that I didn't assert my identity as an artist enough, and now that I'm older, I would like to reclaim it. Elea is full of people like me—builders who break the traditional molds of things."

KWAME FERREIRA

“ I think for community to truly flourish, it has to police out ego and fear. Entrepreneurs find it easy to put up walls, but what they need is to make space to share and learn from their peers. It is in community, not in isolation, where entrepreneurs succeed."

How builder capital is changing everything.

Something is deeply broken about the way we finance and scale companies—builder capital offers another way.

The second mountain

When founders sell their business or exit their companies, the true journey begins.
