Hampton

The Hampton community is growing across the country.

Here's what we do for 1,000+ founders who are tired of making big decisions alone:

Hampton is a community for high-growth founders, founded by @jspeiser and @thesamparr.

To be considered, you need one of the following:

- >$3M in revenue OR
- >$3M in funding raised OR
- A prior exit above $10M

Does this sound like you?

Hampton members do $25M/year on average, so we know the problems you're facing.

You've built the business. You've outrun your old circle. Now you're making the biggest decisions of your life… alone.

No peers who truly get it. No one to challenge you. No one to learn from.

Without that push, the risk isn't blowing up.

It's drifting into "good enough" without noticing. And ten years from now, you'll look back and realize you plateaued… in business, in life, and in who you could have been.

Hampton changes that.

HAMPTON CORE GROUPS

Ask yourself: if you surrounded yourself with other CEOs and founders who have…

- Built generationally successful companies (many in the multi-billions)

- Figured out the business and life issues you're facing (issues most people have no idea about)

- Similar life values and goals to yours

…do you think the odds of your company and life succeeding would improve?

That's exactly what Core is.

We place you in a group with 8-10 founders in your city, in real life, at your level, to talk transparently about everything that's been stuck in your head.

Core groups cover how to scale your business, how to manage your finances, and even how to navigate the challenges in your personal life.

Nothing is off-limits. Everyone is on the same page.

HAMPTON EVENTS

Hampton throws events in major cities across the country.

- Backstage tours of iconic venues like Fenway Park
- High-end tasting menus and omakase
- Racing lessons from former F1 drivers

We've also added private Hampton Sessions from elite industry thought leaders.

In 2008, Marshall Morris lost everything.

He’d put every dollar into a real estate business right before the banks collapsed. Within months, his cars were repossessed. He and his new wife moved onto his parents’ couch.

He knew he needed mentors, but couldn’t even afford coffee chats. So he’d invite successful people to Starbucks, bring his own tea bag, order free hot water, and listen.

Building on those conversations, he took equity in a tiny startup, then helped sell it for millions a few years later.

Then he co-founded HomeLife Brands. They build online communities for pet owners and sell the products their fans want most.

- ~$275M in revenue
- 100+ people on his team across 7 countries
- 35M+ fans online
- Every purchase gives back: 50M+ meals donated to shelter animals and 100+ service dogs funded for veterans with PTSD

Marshall joined Hampton in 2022, in our very first cohort. Today, his secret to success is the same from 2008. He talks with people who’ve already been in his shoes. 

“There have been times where we’ve been literally stuck... I’ll go right to Hampton. ‘Hey, can I pick your brain for a second?’ Then we’re off.”

Only now, he can buy them coffee.

While every tech company is racing towards AI, @iamadamleeb  is building typewriters.

In 2014, Adam posted a concept for a modern typewriter that didn’t exist yet. A mechanical keyboard, an E-Ink screen, and nothing else.

It went viral. One review called it “pretentious hipster nonsense.” He built it anyway. It’s called @getfreewrite .

Some numbers:

- $342K on Kickstarter in 2015
- $447K on Indiegogo in 2022 (it hit its goal in 16 minutes)
- Customers in 50+ countries
- Over 1 billion words written on its devices (roughly 15,000 novels)

For the first 10 years, Freewrite was mostly used by writers who wanted to avoid distractions. Then ChatGPT showed up. Now schools are buying them (everything from elementary schools to Stanford Law) are buying them so students have to type and thinking for themselves.

Freewrite is also in the Printing & Writing permanent collection of Science Museum, London.

When everyone runs in one direction, there’s usually opportunity in the opposite one.
