Founder Milestones

Welcome back, David. Here are the core strategic focus areas for the Forge Collective launch as outlined in your business plan:

  • Validate the Wedge: Launch Greece Wind Week and Brazil Downwinder in Year 1 to test price elasticity ($5,995–$7,995) and operational readiness.
  • Protect the Margins: Maintain target contribution margins between 30% and 40% per trip, factoring in all lodging, safety, and founder costs.
  • Circle Retention: Focus on transition to Forge Circle membership ($500–$2,000/yr) to secure recurring community revenues.
  • Mitigate Risk: Offload technical liability by choosing top-tier local operator schools (certified IKO or equivalent) for water and alpine activities.

Margin Guide

The business plan targets a 30% - 40% contribution margin where possible. Founder travel costs (lodging, transit, coaching offset) are factored in as direct expenses to accurately reflect lifestyle subsidy values.

Ensure that guest counts, lodging contracts, and coaching rates align to achieve at least $1,800 to $2,200 profit per hosting day. Chasing lower guest pricing usually leads to operational overload and brand dilution.
