Founders of the Future · a division of TMI

Building the intelligent economy.

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.

The future is AI. The community is human.

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.

What it is

A room for the people actually building.

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.

Founders

AI founders

Building AI products and vertical AI companies from the ground up.

Owners

Business owners

Putting AI to work inside a real operation that already makes money.

Operators

Operators

COOs and presidents modernizing how the company actually runs.

Buyers

Acquisition entrepreneurs

Buying traditional businesses and transforming them into intelligent ones.

Capital

Investors

Backing the next generation of intelligent companies.

Makers

Builders

Engineers and tinkerers shipping agents, workflows, and systems.

How we gather

Aggressively analog.

No slides. No sponsors. No pitching. We run three things consistently and get founders building real things together. The asset is the relationships.

Monthly

Founder Dinners

10 to 15 founders, a private room, no sales and no presentations. The conversation is the event.

Monthly

AI Build Labs

Laptops open, hours on the clock, one goal. Leave with a working agent, workflow, or system.

Quarterly

Company Tours

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.

Where we gather

Starting in these cities.

"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."

Join Founders of the Future.

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.

Is it free?

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.

Is it in person or virtual?

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.

Do I have to be a TMI client?

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.

Apply only. We review every application personally. Or book a TMI audit to get your systems built.

You're on the list.

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.
