The 2026 Founders Retreat

After last year's inaugural edition, the Upside Club Annual Retreat is back with a 2026 edition. We had an amazing time last year in Porto and your feedback was great, so we're doing it again.

This year, our annual founders retreat will be in Mafra, at a hotel called DOMA in the middle of the forest. We're going for a close-to-nature, peaceful vibes setting to allow founders to enjoy the panel conversations and get to know each other in a relaxed way.

During the day, you can expect unfiltered conversations with fellow founders about company near-death experiences, personal health, money and purpose, plus a special keynote. For lunch, we'll have 10 tables for a curated Upside Club-style lunch, followed by a surprise to kick off the afternoon!

At night, the Full Experience ticket will allow you to join a private moment around a fire pit in the forest followed by an exclusive dinner in the hotel's restaurant.

Chatham House Rules: the event will not be live-streamed nor recorded. There's no selling involved, no bullshit answers, and no filters. You can use the information you get during the event for yourself and your own business, but without attribution.
