5th Annual Founders Network Ski Retreat (March 1-5, 2025) — in San Francisco — Founders Network event

5th Annual Founders Network Ski Retreat (March 1-5, 2025)

San Francisco
Free · Guests welcome

We’re thrilled to continue the tradition with the 5th Annual Founders Network Ski Retreat, taking place at the iconic Big Sky Resort, Montana!

From the early days of the Startup Ski Bus, where we first brought founders together to connect on the slopes, this event has grown into a flagship retreat for adventure, luxury, and professional networking. This year, we’re going bigger than ever -- a 4,000 sq. ft. luxury house in the private Spanish Peaks Club, with ski-in/ski out access to Big Sky Resort.

Event Highlights:

Stay in a stunning 4,000 sq. ft. mountain home that sleeps up to 14 guests.

This beautifully designed property offers:

• 6 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms
• A fully equipped gourmet kitchen. We’ll do some cooking ourselves and some eating out.
• A private hot tub for unwinding after a day on the slopes
• Multiple fireplaces for a warm and cozy retreat
• Ski-in, ski-out access to Big Sky Resort
• High-speed Wi-Fi and entertainment systems

Ski both the private Spanish Peaks resort, as well as the adjoining Big Sky Resort, with 5,800 acres of skiable terrain and 4,350 feet of vertical drop.

Enjoy time relaxing with full access to the Spanish Peaks Clubhouse:

• Complimentary breakfast and après-ski drinks
• A full-service bar and fine dining restaurant
• A fitness center and spa facilities
• Elegant lounges with fireplaces, perfect for networking

Connect with fellow Founders Network members in a relaxed, intimate setting that fosters relationship-building and collaboration.
