What the Hell is The Baby Bathwater Institute?
GOOD TIMES GONE GREAT
“We didn’t invent the Grateful Dead, the crowd invented the Grateful Dead. We were just in line to see what was going to happen.” – Jerry Garcia
The Baby Bathwater Institute began back in 2014 with one unforgettable party…and not a single business plan in sight. Because it was never our goal to create a real company out of this…
Then, as they do, plans changed.
When we first started we were just an events company for entrepreneurs.
Then we were an events company with a very small membership community in the background.
Now we are a very selective membership community with events…
Knowing there will always be “baby” and always be “bathwater”, no matter what we do…We attempt to minimize the “bathwater”, and maximize the “baby” to the best of our abilities.
But The Baby Bathwater Institute ain’t for everyone.
We’re looking for folks who are growing & scaling REAL companies. Doers, who actually care about their customers and their business, know their sh*t, and most importantly… are kind, sharing humans.
If you’re accepted, you’ll be among some of the nicest, highly skilled entrepreneurs you’ve ever met.

We believe meals are best enjoyed outdoors & with friends.
What to expect from a baby bathwater event
As you might have heard, getting into our community starts with an event.And at our events, it all boils down to people, set, and setting.
- Entrepreneurs with skills and unique personalities who come “out of costume.” Folks who, no matter where they come from, bring a small town feel.
- Outdoor vibe, unplugged from day to day, farm fresh healthy meals, outdoor activities, spa environments, live music with real instruments, and other fun party favors.
- All inclusive, everything is provided. Rooms, food & beverage, recreation, content, etc.. there is nothing to do but get there, and nothing more to spend money on. And there is NEVER any pitching allowed.

The founders
The founders of the Baby Bathwater Institute are deliberately in the background. We don’t bug you with speeches, etc. It’s not about us. We just come to enjoy the experience WITH you, not AT you.
The founders are Hollis Carter and Michael Lovitch, two kooky serial entrepreneurs currently living in Boulder, Colorado who love that they don’t have to split their bar tabs anymore.
