01 / The honest bit
Twelve people is a small number.
It is the first thing anybody says, and it is a fair thing to say. If you are buying impressions, this is the wrong line item and a trade show is the right one.
Buy depth here, not reach. Twelve people who publish for a living, eight days, one table. Nothing else in a marketing budget buys that, and nothing else produces content that looks this little like an ad.
02 / What you get
Three things you can put in a plan.
Eight days with twelve people you would struggle to get a meeting with
Founders and operators in sales, GTM and LinkedIn growth, each posting daily to 10k–100k followers. No stand, no badge, no gatekeeper. You cook with them, you ski with them, and by day three you are talking about their actual pipeline.
- We pick the twelve against the profile you tell us to look for
- You stay in the chalet all week rather than visiting for an afternoon
- We introduce you to the people you want to meet
- The relationships carry on long after everyone flies home
Twelve power users, made in one afternoon
Your workshop puts the product in front of twelve people who will use it on their own pipeline, in the same room, with you there to answer questions. Half post about it unprompted. The other half tell you exactly what is wrong with your onboarding.
- You run a 90-minute session with the group, or Nikita runs it for you
- They set your product up on their own accounts rather than a demo one
- All twelve write you the kind of feedback an agency charges for
- Your product built into a podcast episode we record there
A winter campaign you own the rights to
A photographer and a videographer cover all eight days. Snow, fire, long table, the lot. You leave with a library you can run as paid ads in February, and a report telling you what the week actually reached.
- You can run all the photos and video as paid ads
- You get a short video every day plus the film of the whole week
- How many people each channel actually reached
- All of it two weeks after the last day
A photographer and a videographer are on it all week. Snow, fire, long table, the lot. You get it all with full usage rights, so in February you are running ads that look nothing like stock and cost you nothing extra.
What you leave with
03 / The chalet
Where all of it happens.
A private chalet above La Plagne. The workshop, the podcast and the LinkedIn Live all happen at that table.
04 / The placements
What you can put your name on.
Title of the retreat
1 partner“Founder Retreat, powered by you.” On the retreat page, the welcome banner, the merch and every post that mentions the week.
The content library
Highest reuseProfessional photos and video from the full week, delivered with the rights to run them as paid ads and on your own channels. A shoot like this costs €4,000 to €8,000 to commission on its own.
Native integration in the podcast
Best conversionWe record podcast episodes with the participants. Your product is built into the topic and used in the conversation, not read out as an ad. You approve the angle before we record.
A workshop with the twelve
Product in hand60 to 90 minutes, run by you or by Nikita on your behalf. Twelve operators set your product up and use it on their own pipeline. Expect feedback you would pay a research agency for.
LinkedIn Live from the chalet
Live audienceA live session from the retreat with participants on camera, promoted to Nikita’s audience and theirs. The replay is yours afterwards.
Posts, newsletters and the paid room
Owned distributionLinkedIn posts from Nikita, your link in the LinkedIn newsletter (1,500+) and the email newsletter (200+), and a dedicated post inside the paid community. All marked as paid.
Product in the chalet
In-kind welcomeMerch, gifting, kit, food or drink in the house for the week. It shows up in the photography without anybody having to stage it.

06 / Where it gets seen
The distribution behind it.
- LinkedIn newsletter subscribers1,500+
- Email newsletter subscribers200+
- Paying members in the private community47
- Retreat participants’ own LinkedIn audiences10–100k each
- Combined summit speaker following, expected~1m
Participant posting is organic and never guaranteed in a contract. It is the reason the room is picked the way it is, and across previous retreats it has been the largest single source of reach.
07 / Fit
Who this works for, and what it is not.
A strong fit for
- Sales, GTM and LinkedIn tooling sold to operators and founders
- Brands who want twelve deep relationships over twelve thousand impressions
- Teams with something worth teaching for ninety minutes
- Anyone who would rather be in the room than behind a stand
What this is not
- A guaranteed number of posts from participants
- A guaranteed number of leads or signups
- A captive audience for a pitch
- Anything that needs a large crowd to work
We can promise the room, the sessions and the content. Nobody can promise you pipeline, and anybody who does is guessing.
08 / Next steps
Three steps, no deck tennis.
Twenty minutes is enough to work out whether this is worth your budget. If it is not, I will tell you.
