1:1 Connects (Baby Dates)
Tell us who you need to talk to. We make the warm intro. This is true done-with-you relationship building with other entrepreneurs.
Good People.
Good Intentions.
Good times.
Since 2014, Baby Bathwater Institute is a private curated membership for entrepreneurs & founders who’d rather get to know each other than network at each other.
Are we are a fit for you?
“Yeah, the name is odd, but don’t let that fool you.”
What Is Baby Bathwater?
A conference.
A membership.
A peer group.
A trip with friends who run companies.
Yes. All of it.
Baby Bathwater is a private membership for founders and CEOs running businesses from $1M to $60M+. Online year-round and in person a few times a year, somewhere worth flying to.
No pitching. No Biz Cards. No sponsor stages. Just a room full of people who get you.

Baby Bathwater’s Member Values (entreprenuer support system
Since 2014, we’ve never wavered on these values. It’s why you’ve heard about us and it’s why members stay.

Make others feel at home.
Strong opinions, loose grip.
Show up fully or not at all.
Defend the good times.
Your Year-Round Board of Advisors
Membership is a 365-day resource & support system for growth. It’s where you connect with members, learn as you grow, get support on issues when you have them, and use the resources available to you when you need them the most.
Hiring & Leadership
Your first COO. A team you barely recognize anymore. The hire you're about to regret. Ask the people who've already been there.
Revenue & Growth
Plateau. Pivot. The offer you didn't see coming. Get the raw truth from owners, not consultants & keyboard warriors.
Finance, Risk & Exits
Raising. Selling. Keeping more of what you make. Skip the LinkedIn experts. Talk to people who've actually done it.
Tell us what you’re working on or who you’d like to meet. We’ll connect you with the right members. Real humans making thoughtful matches, not an algorithm.
