Where Founders Become Friends
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
March 1 - 4, 2027As Featured In
Baby Bathwater is exceptional at creating meaningful connections. Every attendee is vetted and there are no sales pitches. Interactions are authentic and valuable.
You won't find corporate panels or shallow pitch decks. Instead, you'll find a tight-knit community of accomplished entrepreneurs, investors, and creatives. Equal parts retreat, think tank, and party.
We treat it more like a marriage than a transactional partnership.

A Founders “Event,” Minus Everything You Hate About Events.
You walk into a full custom campus built for over 100 founders. No badges, no sponsor stages, no keynote you’d quietly leave early. The venue is never the compromise, because where you are changes the conversations you have. There’s a subtle structure that makes serendipity happen instead of leaving it to luck. No gurus, no hard-set curriculums.
Around 90% of the spots go to longtime members who build their year around this. Any remaining spots are selected from the application list, based on what rounds out the group. Spots are limited and sell out months ahead.
“I’m the guy that hates masterminds…I swore them off as not my scene, and didn’t like the vibe & being constantly pitched. I was really resistant to coming here…but this is hands down the best event of any kind that I’ve ever been to. The food, the people, the content…my head is about to explode with all the ideas I have. I’m a convert.”

“I was worried before I came to this conference that it would be a bro-fest, but I have been so pleasantly surprised. Not only at the sheer number of women, but at the quality of those women. Every single one that I have met is a badass in her own right. So many people who are amazing at what they do and who are also totally willing to say what they’re not good at – & that is so refreshing.”

CEO, The Ready State

“I’ve been in business for over three decades and started six organizations in health and sustainability. We’ve run dozens of events and I’ve participated in hundreds, including some very high end masterminds. I must say that my experience with Baby Bathwater stands at the top: not only do I love the other members, the hosts, the venues and the food, but it rocks my soul, boosts my spirit and teaches me high ROI business processes and methods.”
David Gottfried
CEO, The Gottfried Institute
“It is like nothing I have ever attended or been a part of. An amazing life changing experience. There were over 100 entrepreneurs who gathered to share, learn, have fun and engage. The BBW Crew provided the best food, drink, music and venue. I am so thankful for the friends I met and the knowledge I gained. It is truly special.”
Wendi Mathis Held
President and Founder, True Hero
“As an entrepreneur it’s tough to find your tribe. I feel strongly this whole community espouses my beliefs around entrepreneurship, creating value, authentic convos…it’s a catch-all for me. When it comes to pushing the edge inside of your industry it can be difficult to find people that want to pioneer and develop new concepts…at bbw this is what happens.”

The food was amazing, the staff and service were impeccable, the location was gorgeous and everyone was so kind and welcoming! Thank you SO much for welcoming me in with open arms. I truly had a blast!”
Torrie Thompson

“This is the only event I come to on a regular basis. They curate a phenomenal group, and the fact that not everyone is invited back each time is telling. Each time it’s a better and better group. I’ve been proud and happy to be a part of this.”

“Baby Bathwater, unlike other conferences. It isn’t cheesy. It’s real. It’s straight up. It is what it is. That’s at a very high level and everybody here operates at a high level and BS is sniffed out from miles away.”

“This was the best mastermind event I’ve ever been to. The content was great and the people were top notch. This will serve as a model for how conscious business is conducted in the future. All the elements were there to make it an amazing experience.”
