The Anti-Conference For Scaling Founders
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.”
Juliet Starrett
CEO, The Ready State
THE FLAGSHIP
The People Are The Product
Choose your own adventure. A workout or a massage, time on the water or a hammock, or one of 18+ content sessions built around what you’re actually working on. The venues are places you’d pick for a vacation. The food is real chefs worth lingering over.
The music keeps you out later than you planned.
Strip all of it away and you’d still leave full, because what you came for is the people. ~100 founders this round, members and newcomers, every one there on purpose. The ones who get what’s keeping you up at night, who hand you a straight answer instead of a pitch. That’s why it works.
- Founders curated one by one, never random
- Accommodations, food, content, entertainment, and wellness, all handled so you never think about logistics
- The hallway conversation that changes how you run things Monday

You show up. We handle the rest
The Recipe
You won’t be surrounded by a hundred versions of yourself. The guestlist is a deliberate mix, B2C brands, B2B services, investors, mentors, operators who’ve already done the thing, and a few sharp up-and-comers worth betting on. Everyone in it can help you. Nobody in it will sell you. That’s the whole recipe.
NO PITCHING ALLOWED!
Nobody here is going to pitch you. No one works an angle at lunch, slides a deck across the table, or tries to get you to open your wallet. There’s a bigger game to play when this many competent founders are in one place at the same time. So it’s the one rule everyone agrees to before they walk in.
Take selling off the table and you relax. The conversations get honest, the advice gets specific, and the founder next to you stops performing and starts telling you what went wrong last quarter.
“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.”
Mikal Abdullah

“I could not have imagined how amazing an event could be, and this event far exceeded all of my expectations. 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
Doctor & CEO, Meraki Wellness Center
“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.”
Babak Azad
Former CMO, GoodRx Took Beach Body from $100 million to $1 billion
“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.”
Lauren Imparato
Co-Founder & CEO, The Association Has been featured on numerous media outlets such as Dr. Oz, Bloomberg, WSJ, Entrepreneur, and Women's Health
“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.”
Pedram Shojai

THE PEOPLE
Everyone Has Something To Give And Something To Get
There’s no head table. Everyone was personally invited, and everyone paid their own way.
So hang out, ask the question you’ve been sitting on, and grab a drink while you do it (those are on us). The folks sharing content come to learn as much as teach, and if you find yourself on the guestlist, you might be the one they hand the mic to next time.
You’ll go home with a few people you’ll still be talking to in five years, and a notebook full of ideas you’ll use.
Activities: Choose Your Own Adventure
Nobody flies in to sit in a content room all day. Moving around and actually enjoying where you are is half the point, so there’s plenty to get into, and none of it costs you a dime, a reservation, or a single logistic.
Sometimes the conversation you came for happens on a boat, not in a chair.
Pick what you want, skip the rest, and go do nothing if that’s the move.
