The Founders’ Masquerade Experience
If you’re building something that matters, not just for now, but for what comes next.
A structured, guided collaboration evening where founders solve real challenges together, with the fresh perspective of their teenagers in the room.
You won’t just talk about ideas.
You’ll work through a real challenge, uncover opportunities you may be missing,
and leave with a clear action you can implement within 7 days.
This is one of the few rooms where:
You know what’s happening
You move ideas forward
You build meaningful relationships
And you gain practical thinking you can use immediately.
When business is built on human connection, it becomes legacy.

What is This Experience?
This is not a networking event.
It’s a guided collaboration experience where founders work through real challenges together, with the added perspective of their teenagers.
You don’t just listen.
You actively work on something that matters to you.
*
You identify hidden assets in your business you’re not using yet
You work through a real challenge in structured small groups
You generate ideas (including AI-supported thinking)
You hear perspectives from both founders and teenagers
You map one collaboration or opportunity
You leave with a clear 7-day action plan
*
Everything is guided, structured, and designed to help you move forward, not just have a conversation.
Limited to a small group to keep every interaction meaningful.
For those who want clarity and direction
You’ll follow a structured flow, guided prompts, and clear outcomes, so you always know what you’re working towards.
Entrepreneurship can feel isolating.
Most events give you conversations.
Very few move you forward.
This one is designed differently.
A different kind of founder gathering
Planned for Early Summer 2026 in County Durham
This year, a carefully curated group of 50 founders will gather in County Durham.
Not another corporate networking event.
Not awkward introductions.
Not transactional conversations.
But real connection.
This evening is designed to move you forward, not just inspire you.
You bring a real challenge.
You work through it with other founders.
And with the perspective of teenagers in the room, you’ll see things differently.
That’s where better ideas come from.
You don’t leave with notes.
You leave with direction.
Why I created this experience
I wanted to create a space where founders don’t just connect, they actually help each other move forward.
Where conversations are structured enough to be useful, but human enough to be real.
And where teenagers can see what building something actually looks like, not just hear about it.
How this experience works:
• You bring a real business challenge
• You work through it in guided small groups
• Teenagers contribute fresh ideas and perspectives
• You identify one opportunity or collaboration
• You leave with a clear 7-day action
For those who want clarity and direction
You’ll follow a structured flow, guided prompts, and clear outcomes, so you always know what you’re working towards.

Founder, Teen Know All Academy & TKA Events
This experience was created from something I personally struggled with.
As a founder, I often found myself choosing between growing my business…
and being present for my daughter.
Most events didn’t make space for both.
So I created one that does.
A space where founders don’t have to separate business from family.
Where teenagers aren’t left out, but invited into real thinking, real conversations, and real experiences.
Because what we build shouldn’t skip a generation.
This is what the experience is built on:
Your value rises with the people you surround yourself with.
The strongest legacy we build is what the next generation experiences.
Businesses built on genuine human connection grow stronger, and last longer.

How the Day Flow
Arrival & welcome
Guided collaboration sessions
Real business problem-solving
Small group discussions
Shared thinking and idea exchange
A relaxed social close to continue conversations
Exact schedule will be confirmed once the founding group is formed.
For those who want momentum
You’ll move fast, solve real problems, and leave with something already started, not just discussed.
Because entrepreneurship shouldn’t skip a generation.
Why bring your teenager?
Because this is where perspective shifts.
You move your business forward.
They expand how they think.
You build something together, even if just for one evening.
Teenagers don’t think like founders.
They ask different questions.
They see things differently.
They challenge assumptions.
They think without limitation.
They see what others miss.
And that’s exactly what creates better ideas.
Clearer thinking.
More honest conversations.
At the same time, they experience real-world thinking, not theory.
