COHORT 01 · PARTICIPANT GUIDE
Founders Bootcamp
Different Founders. Different Perspectives. One Powerful Network.
12–13 September 2026Sarah Resort, Gazipur
Connect deeply.Exchange openly.Act meaningfully.
SARAH RESORT
Resort Timings
These are Sarah Resort's official meal service and swimming pool operating hours. Our Bootcamp sessions are scheduled around these resort timings.
Day 2 checkout deadline: by 12:00 PM. Our formal program ends at 11:00 AM, with checkout beginning around 11:30 AM.
The people in the room are the curriculum.
This is not a trainer-led bootcamp. Every participant is already a founder with a different industry, stage, network, strength, failure and point of view. The agenda creates the space; the room creates the learning.
Connect → Exchange → Act
ConnectBuild relationships beyond usual circles, industries and titles.
ExchangeShare experiences, questions, failures, ideas, opportunities and networks openly.
ActTake one meaningful thing forward: a decision, connection, insight, opportunity or action.
Come with one thing that matters to you.
It may be clarity, a connection, a difficult question, a business problem, an idea to validate or simply a new perspective.
Leave with one thing worth carrying forward.
There is no mandatory execution plan. Your ONE Thing Out can be a decision, relationship, insight, opportunity, collaboration, question or next action.
FULL PROGRAM
Schedule
Every founder session includes a one-line purpose so everyone knows what the conversation is for. The schedule intentionally leaves room for activities and natural networking through shared experiences rather than filling the retreat with formal sessions.
