Who This Is For

Built for Founders,
By Founders

found·er
/ˈfoundər/   noun
a person building something from nothing

You don't need a pitch deck, a tech startup, or an MBA. If you're turning an idea into a business — whether that's a creative studio, a food concept, a freelance practice, or a product you can't stop thinking about — you're a founder, and 1909 was built for you.

Programming

Members are placed into the right track based on revenue and stage.

Launch

Pre-revenue → $50K ARR

12-week, cohort-based course · Start dates in February and August

You're in the earliest stage of building — shaping the idea, validating the model, and laying the foundation. Launch gives you the structure, accountability, and community to go from concept to business.

Grow

$50K → $250K ARR

12-week, cohort-based course · Start dates in February and August

You have proof of concept and now need to scale what's working. Grow focuses on operations, team, marketing, and the systems that turn traction into a real business.

Scale

$250K → $1MM+ ARR

You're optimizing, expanding, and leading teams. Scale pairs advanced curriculum with Scale Up Peer Pods — monthly peer groups of founders in similar industries and stages who hold each other accountable and grow together.

What Members Say

If I didn't do this, my business would still be in my head. Having a community of support when doing something new was exactly what I needed and more.
— Kimberley S.
Having tried entrepreneurship on my own and now having gone through the 1909 accelerator, I can say with 100% certainty that having this community, these tools, and resources is a massive advantage.
— Ryan P.
1909 has been a game-changer for my business. It helped me grow my network, find great employees, and access the funds needed to succeed. 1909's support has been transformative.
— Daniel C.
Without this programming, I would have plateaued this year with my business earnings and potential. The program gave me the accountability I needed to propel myself to the next level.
— Julie W.
