Most founder groups are built for people on the way up.Second Mt. is for the ones who’ve already exited — a Colorado community of exited founders who know your story, share the problems only we have, and make good company for whatever comes next.
01 — The community
Small, off-record dinners. The numbers, the doubts, and the problems only an exited founder really gets.
Camaraderie with like-minds.
Ski days, trail runs, long lunches, the occasional ridiculous idea. Good people, doing interesting things.
Always a good time.
Once a month, working founders sit down with members who’ve been there. Need a lawyer? A tax person? A person-to-person sounding board? That’s the table — not a path in, just paying it forward.
Use your superpowers for good.
02 — Who this is for
Whatever came after the exit, there’s a seat. We meet you where you’re at — the only real lines are below.
03 — Philosophy
Fewer events. Better people.
What’s said here stays here.
You’ve already done the thing.
We’ve all been there. Act like it.
No name-dropping. No hustle cosplay.
The exit was the win. This is the life.
04 — The rhythm
Actual face time with real humans. Come to one, two, three, or all four.
Early, just us. Catch up and swap the problems only we have.
MembersA long table that always runs over. Slower, deeper.
MembersPickleball, a charity day, something outside — the fun side.
MembersMembers head to Boulder or Denver for open coffee with up-and-coming founders.
Members host
Once a month, members fan out — some to Boulder, some to Denver — to sit down with founders still building. Need a lawyer? A tax person? A person-to-person sounding board? If you’re in it and want to talk with someone who’s done it, this open table is for you.
05 — Curated
Every gathering is hosted personally. Each application is read by a small group of founding members — not a form, not a funnel.
Founded and convened by Jeremy Moskowitz — PolicyPak Software (exited to Netwrix Corporation), Syncromate.com, GetPitchPerfect.com — a fellow exited founder. The intent is to build the group, not be the group.
06 — Questions
A private Colorado community for founders who’ve already exited — built for camaraderie and good company, not for people still on the way up. Real-life gatherings (dinners, lunches, outings, an open give-back table) plus a members-only Slack for everything in between.
Nothing. There are no membership dues and no subscriptions. You only ever cover your own coffee or your own meal at an event — and you’re welcome to pick up someone else’s.
Yes — just not a paid one. Membership is about who you’re with, not what you pay. No fees, no tiers, no auto-renew.
Founders who’ve exited a company for $1M or more and live in Colorado. You don’t have to be running something now — exited and resting, investing, or already plotting the next one all count.
Start an application, and a few trusted members — Jeremy and a small group of founding members — read it. Expect a quick Google Meet, or an invite to one of our in-person events. We’ll let you know soon after.
If you think we really dropped the ball, chances are it’s something technical that didn’t fire where it should. Email support@syncromate.com and open a ticket — Syncromate is one of Jeremy’s companies, so you’ll get an auto-responded ticket, and then we’ll definitely be in touch to find out what happened.
No. It’s one community — no sub-groups, no assigned pods. Everyone’s in it together.
Right now, in-person events are in Boulder and Denver. If a member wants to chair events in another Colorado city — Fort Collins, Florence, anywhere — we’ll gladly expand there.
There’s about one event a week, and all of it is optional — come to one, a few, or all of them. No minimums. Honestly, though, we’d rather see more of you than less.
Yes — a members-only Slack for the in-between, where you can get a straight answer to the things you can’t post publicly.
Pitching is discouraged — this isn’t a sales floor. But a genuinely good idea, or a vendor that helped you climb your next mountain? Share away.
No hard feelings — just tell us and we’ll take you off the notifications. And to keep things good for everyone: if we get member complaints about selling, attitude, or non-inclusive behavior, we may ask you to step away.
Some events are family-friendly and clearly marked as such. The rest are members-only.
That’s the whole intent — what’s said here stays here. Second Mt. can’t be held responsible if someone breaks that trust, but this only works as a safe space among people who get it.
Three things. No fees. Exited founders only — not people on the way up. And you don’t have to be actively running a business to belong, as long as there’s a real exit (>$1M) behind you.
It’s growing, with no hard cap — but it stays curated. The people matter more than the headcount.
Applications open · Forming now
Applications read personally. We respond either way.
The one hard line we hold is a real exit. Tell us the company and how it wrapped — we read every word.
Once a month, working founders sit down with members who’ve already exited. Need a lawyer? A tax person? A been-there sounding board? Bring a real question; leave with a real answer. No pitch, no fee.
