The promise
See your company the way a buyer will. Then move the numbers.
Every buyer prices the same things: clean financials, recurring revenue, a business that runs without its owner. Supercharge is time spent on exactly those parts, with the people who score them. In January that work happens in Sedona, with FNDRS and a room of owners doing $3M to $30M, whether the exit is next year or next decade.
Value you can measure
Enterprise value is made of parts that can be named, scored, and moved. Supercharge works on the ones a buyer prices first.
Owners doing $3M to $30M
Every founder in the room runs a company at that size. Different industries, different timelines, the same questions about value.
Founders advising founders
FNDRS was built by founders who have scaled companies of their own. You stay in charge of your company. We bring what we learned building ours.
The arc
Measure. Move. Momentum.
Supercharge Sedona is designed to help your business grow rapidly, in ways you never thought possible. Three days on the company itself, its earnings and its multiple, then one plan for the year, and a Saturday with the community.
Day 1 · Measure
Know your number
Every great year starts with a number. Where the company stands today, what a prepared business commands, the gap in dollars, and the one constraint between the two.
Day 2 · Move
What moves the multiple
The same earnings sell for very different prices. A day on the drivers buyers pay a premium for: earnings that compound, revenue that repeats, a company that runs without you, and AI as leverage.
Day 3 · Momentum
The year's plan
Preparation becomes a plan. A buyer's checkpoint, the evidence that the company transfers, what you keep, and the twelve-month roadmap: three moves, one owner each, and the dates.
Day 4 · Saturday with the community Breakfast and podcasts with the FNDRS faculty from 7, the optional adventures from 10 (Verde River kayaking, horseback riding, all-terrain vehicle riding, with the family too, each priced individually), and, for anyone who wants it, the drive north to the Grand Canyon from 5 for a free day there on Sunday: the rim, a hike, or a local operator's tour, each person's own plan and booking.

The schedule
What happens at Supercharge Sedona?
Supercharge Sedona runs January 13-16, 2027*: day one on knowing your number, day two on what moves the multiple, day three on the year's plan, and an optional Saturday with the community.
Day 1 · Wed, Jan 13 · Half day
Measure
Know your number
Supercharge
Opening remarks: growth and value are the same work. The constraint that caps growth caps the multiple.
Your number and your why
The post-tax number the life you want requires, and the enterprise value it takes to reach it.
Where you stand today
The exit score and the real-time valuation: what the market pays today, what a prepared business commands, and the gap in dollars. Members bring their tracker; guests get a first score.
The one constraint
Every business has one, not five. Finding yours, and what the next level looks like on the other side of it.
Welcome reception
The first evening, with the whole room.
Day 2 · Thu, Jan 14
Move
What moves the multiple
What moves the multiple
The same earnings sell for very different prices. The drivers buyers pay a premium for, and how the buyer pool changes as earnings grow.
Earnings that compound
Pricing power, gross margin, and overhead held flat as revenue scales.
Revenue that repeats
Recurring revenue, retention, and a sales engine that is not the founder.
A company that runs without you
Management depth, owner dependence, and key-person risk: what a buyer tests first.
AI as leverage
Software and AI doing work that would otherwise need headcount, with results a buyer can measure.
Keynote
A founder who grew fast and sold well.
Breakout: your top three drivers
Members work the next tasks on their roadmap; guests score the drivers for the first time.
Co-FNDRS council
Tables of members and guests on each other's questions, a member leading each.
Dinner
The second evening, after the council.
Day 3 · Fri, Jan 15
Momentum
The year's plan
The buyer's checkpoint
How a buyer would read the company today, so the plan aims at what gets priced.
Transferable
Procedures written, every seat named, the data room started early: evidence the company runs the same under new ownership.
Keynote
The day's keynote from the main stage.
Breakout: the twelve-month roadmap
Three moves, one owner each, and the dates. Members with their advisor; guests build a first one.
What you keep
Tax and estate, set early: one session on what to put in place now so the proceeds are protected later.
Closing: the first ninety days
What you will have done by April, said out loud to your table.
Closing dinner
The last evening together before Saturday with the community.
Day 4 · Sat, Jan 16 · Optional
Community
Saturday with the community
Sat: 7-10am
Breakfast and podcasts
With the FNDRS faculty, the whole room.
Sat: 10am-5pm
Optional adventures
Verde River kayaking, horseback riding, and all-terrain vehicle riding, with the family too. Each priced individually, and each is optional. A collective group of us will probably be doing many of them sequentially.
Sat: 5-8pm
The drive north
Anyone going on to the Grand Canyon leaves around 5, in their own car or a ride they arrange, and books their own room near the rim.
Sun: free day
A free day at the Grand Canyon
Not part of the event: the day is yours. The rim at sunrise, a hike, or a tour booked with a local operator, arranged and paid for directly with them. Travel, rooms, and plans are each person's own, at their own risk.*
* January 13-16 are the event's dates. The drive to the Grand Canyon on Saturday evening and the free day there on Sunday, January 17, are not part of the event: each person's own travel, room, and plans, arranged and paid for directly and at their own risk, and not organized, run, or supervised by FNDRS.
Each session's speaker is announced as the lineup is set. The tax and estate session is general information, not advice for any one business.

Founders and owners running companies doing $3M to $30M, whether the exit is next year or next decade. Different industries, different timelines, the same questions about value.

Flagstaff Pulliam (FLG) is closer, 45 to 60 minutes away, but has limited regional flights, so it makes sense only when its schedule and price work. Sedona's own airport has no scheduled commercial airline service.

No. The event ends on Saturday, January 16. Some of the room drives north that evening and spends Sunday at the Grand Canyon as a free day: the rim at sunrise, a hike, or a tour booked with a local operator. FNDRS does not organize, run, or supervise any of it. Each person arranges and pays for their own travel, room, and tour directly, and takes part at their own risk. The same goes for the optional adventures on Saturday, each booked with its operator.
No. The sessions are general information, not legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice, and FNDRS does not guarantee any outcome from attending an event.
