This Is Who’s Coming
Welcome to the Founders Lounge — the curated list of founders confirmed for this month’s IMParty.
Each name on this wall runs a business generating $2M+ in annual revenue. Some are scaling $50M brands. Others just closed an eight-figure round. A few bootstrapped a rocket ship. All of them are here to connect, collab, and trade high-level value.
Why it matters:
If you’re in the room, you should know who to talk to. This is that list. We’re not gatekeeping — we’re spotlighting. These are the founders who said yes to making moves together.
Look for the Purple Sticker on their badge. It’s not about ego. It’s a signal:
“I build at scale. I play long-term games. I came to meet my people.”

PS: David’s personal challenge each month is to gather 30 or more founders running companies over $2M into the Founders Lounge. If that sounds like you or someone you know, reach out! There’s special treatment waiting for those who make it happen.
FOUNDERS LOUNGE ACCESS/ PRICING
What It Costs
This is the founding rate. Prices go up later. Lock it in now.
First timer? Pay what feels right. Try it free if you need to. Or grab the intro rate and back us from day one: $49/month or $69 for one event.
Already an IMParty member? You’re in. Same deal: $49/month or $69 single ticket. You get a purple sticker. Plus early access to the Founders Lounge.
Don’t Feel Like Paying? Come anyway.
Here's what matters: Show up. Be present. Connect with other founders doing real things.
One ask: You run a company doing $2M+ a year.
Payment isn’t the filter. Intention is.
My hope? This becomes a monthly must on your calendar. When it does, you’ll want to support it.
For now, just come. Bring your energy. Your questions. Your stories.
