Most founder groups are built for people still climbing.Second Mt. is a Colorado community for founders who have already exited and are figuring out what comes next: another company, a quieter chapter, investing, mentoring, or simply meeting interesting people who understand the experience.
01 — The community
Small, off-record dinners. Talk candidly about the exit, the doubts, what came next, or something completely unrelated to business.
A few people you will actually want to see again.
Pickleball? A run? The occasional ridiculous idea. Good people, doing interesting things.
Always a good time.
Once a month, working founders sit down with members who’ve been there — a person-to-person sounding board. Not a path in, just paying it forward.
Be useful to someone still climbing.
02 — Who this is for
Whatever came after the exit, there may be a seat for you. The basic criteria are simple.
03 — Philosophy
What’s said here stays here.
This is a community, not a sales floor.
Leave the résumé and the posturing at home.
Curated
Every gathering is hosted personally. Each application is read by a small group of founding members — not a form, not a funnel.
Founded and convened by Jeremy Moskowitz, founder of PolicyPak, acquired by Netwrix. The intent is to build the group, not be the group.
04 — The rhythm
Actual face time with real humans. We are starting simply and letting the community shape what comes next.
A long table, candid conversation, and no agenda beyond enjoying the company.

Members
Once a month, members sit down with founders who are still building. Bring a real question, a hard decision, or a problem you cannot untangle alone. No stage. No lecture. No pitch.
06 — Questions
A private Colorado community for founders who’ve already exited — built for camaraderie, candid conversation, and good company. The center of gravity is real-life gatherings: dinners, lunches, occasional outings, and an open table for founders still building.
Nothing. There are no membership dues and no subscriptions. You only ever cover your own coffee or your own meal at an event — and you’re welcome to pick up someone else’s.
Yes — just not a paid one. Membership is about who you’re with, not what you pay. No fees, no tiers, no auto-renew.
Founders who’ve exited a company for $1M or more and live in Colorado. You don’t have to be running something now — exited and resting, investing, or already plotting the next one all count.
Start an application, and a few trusted members — Jeremy and a small group of founding members — read it. Expect a quick Google Meet, or an invite to one of our in-person events. We’ll let you know soon after.
If you think we dropped the ball, email hello@secondmt.com and we’ll look into it.
No. It’s one community — no sub-groups, no assigned pods. Everyone’s in it together.
Right now, in-person events are centered in Denver and Boulder. We may expand elsewhere in Colorado when there is enough local interest and a member who wants to lead it.
We are starting with about two gatherings each month. Everything is optional, but the community works best when members show up often enough to know one another.
Not yet. Second Mt. is intentionally starting in person. We will add a private online space when members find it useful.
No unsolicited pitching or selling. If someone asks for a recommendation and you have a useful answer, share it plainly.
No hard feelings — just tell us and we’ll take you off the notifications. And to keep things good for everyone: if we get member complaints about selling, attitude, or non-inclusive behavior, we may ask you to step away.
Some events are family-friendly and clearly marked as such. The rest are members-only.
That’s the expectation: what’s said here stays here. Second Mt. cannot guarantee another person’s behavior, but members who break that trust will be asked to leave.
Three things. No fees. Exited founders only — not people on the way up. And you don’t have to be actively running a business to belong, as long as there’s a real exit (>$1M) behind you.
It’s growing, with no hard cap — but it stays curated. The people matter more than the headcount.
