Office hours
An hour to get your questions answered on specific subjects — marketing, sales, operations, funding — with advisors who've done the thing.
a Ventriq community · Baltimore first
Come do the work. We’ll count it.
Founders After Hours is a working membership — a digital home for replays, office hours, and straight answers, and a monthly in-person night where the first hour is heads-down execution and every result goes up on the board.

What’s inside
Live sessions
Live training sessions on the month's focus, every one saved to the digital library — along with every Summit replay 24 hours after it airs.
Founders After Hours
Our in-person production experience, built to help you drive results. One night a month: the hour, the board, the room. Baltimore first.
The hour, mapped
- 6:00
The brief. The month's focus and the room's targets. You brought your list; everyone did.
- 6:15
The hour. Phones out, laptops open. Calls get made. Emails get sent. Asks get asked. Nobody's networking at you — everyone's working.
- 7:15
The tally. Results go on the board: calls, sends, booked meetings, closed work. Wins get loud.
- 8:15
The room. Food, founders, and the conversations that only happen after the work — because by then, you've got something real to talk about.
You can do a lot more in a room full of founders doing the same thing than you can alone at your desk — that’s not a slogan, it’s the format. Justin calls it accountability masked in community: nobody’s grading you, but the board doesn’t lie, and iron sharpens iron.
“The board doesn’t lie.”
Two ways to hold a seat.
$39/month
Digital
The full digital home, anywhere: every Summit replay 24 hours after it airs, monthly webinars, office hours with Ventriq’s council, the grants-and-funding feed, and founders in the thread who answer before the algorithm does.
$99/month
In person
Everything in digital, plus your seat at the monthly chapter night — the hour, the board, the room. Fifteen to twenty-five founders, capped on purpose. Baltimore first; your city when it opens.
Not ready to commit? Come to a session of How to Run a Profitable Business first — free, every other Monday, 6:15–7:00 PM, open to everybody. The next series starts Monday, September 14.

The first board goes up this fall in Baltimore. The count starts at zero — on purpose.
Calls made.
Emails sent.
Wins counted.
the digital home

- the tally leaderboard

The handoff, plainly: Joining takes about two minutes — the community runs on Skool, you pick your tier and land inside.
Baltimore
first chapter, first board. Founding night is Monday, August 24, 6:30–8:00 PM — then the third or fourth Monday each month.
Your city
chapters open where founders raise their hands and an organizer steps up. Organizers get training, the format, and the brand — and a room full of builders who show up.
Questions, answered
What does it cost?
$39 a month for the digital membership. $99 a month adds the in-person chapter night. Cancel anytime.
Why isn't it free?
Because the board is the product. A membership buys the replays, the advisors, and a room where everybody showed up to work — and people who pay for the hour protect the hour.
What do I bring?
Your laptop or phone, and the list you've been avoiding: prospects, follow-ups, asks. The night works because you arrive loaded.
I'm not in Baltimore.
Start with the digital membership — replays, office hours, and webinars aren't city-bound. And raise your hand for your city; chapters go where founders ask.
I'm an introvert. Be honest.
The first hour, nobody's networking at you — everyone's working. The talking comes after, and by then you've already got something to talk about.
Who runs it?
Ventriq. Chapter nights are run by trained local organizers, founders themselves.
The work you’ve been putting off has a room now.
