Hey PH! đź‘‹
Thought this may be interesting so sharing it here! 🙏
Hampton is a private community for high-growth startup founders and CEOs. Hampton provides a peer-based membership network for the high-stakes, high-stress, and often lonely job of leading a startup.
Think group therapy but for business and each member is the CEO of a high growth startup.
The community was started by Sam Parr, founder of The Hustle (acquired by Hubspot) and co-host of the My First Million podcast, and Joe Speiser, serial entrepreneur and three-time founder. After operating in stealth for 10 months, Hampton already has hundreds of members.
- Each member is interviewed and vetted. Less than 8% of applicants are accepted.
- Average member has $23m in revenue.
- Members must have at least $1m in revenue OR $3m in funding OR sold a company for $5m+ earlier
- We’re limiting the group to 700 members
A few of their members:
- Austin Rief - Founder of newsletter Morning Brew, which does nearly $100m in revenue.
- Roee Goldberg – Co-founder of OpenWeb (Valued at $1.5B), a platform for publishers and brands to build audience relationships. Over $250m raised and 300+ employees.
- Brett Adcock – Founder of Archer, an urban air mobility company. $1.7B IPO in 2021. Founded Vetter (now called Hired), a talent marketplace, acquired for $110M.
- Walker Williams - Co-Founder & CPO of Fourthwall, the best way for creators to open online shops and monetize their brand & audiences. Doing $25M in GMV. Raised $17M from Seven Seven Six (Alexis Ohanian), Lightspeed Venture Partners and Initialized Capital. Founded Teespring and scaled it over $200M.
After getting in, members get:

Adding you as the makers @thesamparr@joe_speiser1
It's cool. But I have a hard time understanding the launch of such product in a place like ProductHunt. It'd be better if they remained stealth as before, because this is by-design a private product for a specific group of people.
This is not a product that everybody can use, either for free or for money. The barrier to entry is a process that PH users, or any user at all, have zero control over it:
- Each member is interviewed and vetted. Less than 8% of applicants are accepted.
- Average member has $23m in revenue.
- Members must have at least $1m in revenue OR $3m in funding OR sold a company for $5m+ earlier
- We’re limiting the group to 700 members
I think, this launch is useless for the public/PH users, but useful for the founders Sam and Joe (for obvious reasons)
What’s not to love? As community led by Sam and Joe only it’s not just a community but a curated networking opportunity at a higher level of growth with founders by founders.
Best of luck with this one.
