You don't have to build your gathering place alone.
Every week, we come together to dive deep into specialty coffee — single-origin regions, extraction science, flavor profiling, and how to develop your palate. It's education, but it's also a shared experience with people who love coffee as much as you do.
Once a month, we tackle the real business questions together: financial modeling, location strategy, hiring, operations. You bring your numbers, your challenges, your wins — and the group helps you think through all of it.
Bring your specific situation — your neighborhood, your financial picture, your timeline — and get perspective from the community. These calls are honest, personal, and often where the biggest breakthroughs happen.
Lifetime access to all 8 modules of the Coffee Shop Launch System. Work at your pace, refer back as your plans evolve. The curriculum is your roadmap; the community is your travel companions.
Connect with people who get it. Ask questions, share wins, form accountability partnerships, and build real friendships with people who are building their own gathering places. You'll never feel alone in this.
Financial models, location analysis frameworks, menu development worksheets, and more. Built for your exact situation so you can stop reinventing the wheel and start making real progress together.
Start with Core membership for the full community experience. Add Launch Partner calls if you want a small group to walk this road with you.

For members who want deeper accountability
Core gives you the full community: curriculum, weekly coffee education, monthly business calls, live Q&A, and the community forum. It's structured but self-paced — you learn and build alongside everyone. Launch Partner adds bi-weekly small-group calls with a dedicated cohort for deeper accountability. Choose Core if you work well within a larger community, or Launch Partner if you want a tight-knit group who knows your specific story.
Yes. Start with Core and upgrade to Launch Partner whenever you want more accountability. Or start with Launch Partner and downgrade to Core if your schedule changes. You'll be charged the difference on your next billing cycle.
Launch Partner groups are limited to 6-8 people. We keep them small so you get real connection, genuine accountability, and time for your specific questions. You'll meet the same cohort every two weeks — that consistency builds trust and real relationships.
You keep lifetime access to the curriculum modules you've already worked through. Your community forum access and live call attendance end when your membership ends. But the core education is yours forever.
New Launch Partner cohorts begin on the 1st and 15th of each month. When you join, you'll be placed in the next starting cohort. If you want to start immediately, you can request an exception and we'll do our best to get you into a cohort with availability.
Cohorts intentionally include people at different stages — some just exploring, some actively planning, some 6 months from opening. This diversity makes the group stronger. You learn from people ahead of you and help those behind you. It's valuable for everyone.
