As Featured In...
We’re returning for the sixth time to the sun-soaked paradise of Baja, Mexico, because it’s just THAT good. We’ve got dibs on a luxury boutique hotel and a swanky beachfront bar & restaurant—just for us. Enjoy unspoiled views of the Sea of Cortez, feast on mouthwatering grub, and kick up sand to sweet tunes from some of the most talented musicians you’ll ever hear.
But don’t be fooled, we’re also dishing out high-impact content and conversations that will feel like a shot of soul with a chaser of strategy. Who knows, you might even find yourself pulling an all-nighter with new pals, catching the blood-orange sun rise over Cabo’s iconic arch, and remembering why you dove into the madness of entrepreneurship in the first place.

NO PITCHING ALLOWED!
This event is your safe, pitch-free place to grow. No one’s gonna ask you to sign up or buy anything. The person you sit next to at lunch won’t try to recruit you or give you the hard sell.
Along with never being pitched and never being asked to open your wallet… this also means that all your other inhabitants are more comfortable kicking back and getting real here than anywhere else.
What Really Makes This Event Different?
The curation is real, the community is inviting, and the attention to detail is unmatched
All attendees are pre-vetted over a 45 minute interview call.
Things we don’t give a damn about:
✖️ How much money you make
✖️ If you are considered “a big deal”
✖️ Who you know
Now here is what we DO care about:
✔️ You’re a nice person—we’re from small towns and we’re pretty good at reading people
✔️ You’re a “giver,” not a “taker”
✔️ You have useful business skills… You know what you’re doing
✔️ You LOVE who you’re selling to… We call it the “Give a Shit” factor
✔️ You aren’t scamming people or doing anything unethical
✔️ You’re fun, easy to talk to, and self-reliant

When you attend your first Baby Bathwater event it is a first date of sorts… Only after getting to know each other over four or five days can we decide if we’re a good match for each other for the longer term.
Just know that at our events, you will never be pitched and we will never ask you to open your wallet. Period.
After our events we review any new folks that we may want to invite into our core membership community. This includes getting feedback from our members, team, event staff, bartenders, and service staff.
If after the event you feel like you have “finally found your people”, and we believe that you are also “our kind of people”…. then we may invite you to join our year-long membership community.
Any new addition is an integral part of Baby Bathwater Institute’s tradition – Mixing Business With Pleasure like no other group!
You’ll finally have friends who understand you: Let’s be real, being an entrepreneur can be a lonely journey. But at Baby Bathwater, you’ll be surrounded by a bunch of other weirdos who get you, and have experience navigating similar issues in business and life.
You’ll get access to brilliant minds: Ever get stuck on a problem for hours, days, or even weeks? With Baby Bathwater, you’ll have access to some of the brightest entrepreneurs and business owners who have already been through it. Just ask a question and they’ll share their wisdom.
You’ll be part of a community that actually cares: No fake smiles or forced conversations here. The Baby Bathwater crew genuinely cares about each other’s success, and they’re not afraid to show it. If you need help with anything, just say the word and they’ll come running.
You’ll have more fun than you ever thought possible: Baby Bathwater isn’t your typical stuffy networking event. With events on an Island, in the mountains, heli-skiing, and river rafting, you’ll have a blast while building valuable relationships. And who knows, you might even meet your future business partner, best friend, or significant other. Anything is possible at The Baby Bathwater Institute.
We understand that being an entrepreneur can be a lonely journey, which is why we’ve created a community that emphasizes authentic connections and emotional support. At Baby Bathwater, you’ll be surrounded by like-minded individuals who share your experiences and challenges. Through our events and ongoing membership community, you’ll form friendships and connections that provide the understanding, empathy, and encouragement you need to thrive.
The ideal fit for the Baby Bathwater community is a company founder with a success story built on following their instincts, grit, and creativity. They come from various backgrounds and financial levels of success, and typically have a business ranging from 7 to 9 figures. These individuals didn’t necessarily follow traditional career paths, often facing doubts from others, but have proven their resilience and passion for creating. They value genuine connections and understand that status games don’t lead to happiness. With a thirst for life and a commitment to enjoying the journey, our members embrace the entrepreneurial roller coaster and prioritize support, camaraderie, and good times within the Baby Bathwater community.
