The breakout session was engaging, thought-provoking, and fun. I loved getting the chance to genuinely and authentically connect with other people. It felt a little like having a coffee (or wine) with work friends who came ready and willing to share their wisdom and ideas on how to make your challenges easier.”

- Founders: Sharpen your pitching skills and business acumen. Gain a deeper understanding of your industry and a robust network of peers, investors & operators.
Why is brunchwork a league above other programs?
brunchwork is an intimate and interactive experience. You’re not a passive listener at brunchwork. The experience is intimate enough so you actually get to interact with your peers and the speakers.
The business challenge is a big part of our experience. You’ll work in a small, curated team on a business case & get real time feedback from the speakers. A business case can be positioning Peloton’s brand strategy for the current crisis or brainstorming an idea for a new music platform – and getting feedback from leadership at Peloton and Spotify respectively.
Will “at home” events continue after COVID-19?
Yes. The virtual program has been very well received and we will continue with a virtual track, even when live experiences resume.
We have hosted in-person experiences in NY, SF & LA for many years. More cities are in the works! If you join now as a virtual member, you can transition to an in-person membership when the events resume.
What is the typical itinerary for brunchwork at home?
The typical format:
- First half: Dynamic conversation with speakers. Ask questions and make observations throughout.
- Last half: Solve a business activity in a curated group of smart peers. Get real time feedback from the speakers.
Will I need to pitch during brunchwork at home?
Currently working on a startup or creative project? At most sessions, you can choose to present a 60-second overview in a small group, directly to a speaker.
Currently an intrapreneur? You use the time to brainstorm a new idea or solve a business case. You will have 30 minutes to brainstorm with a group. At the end, one person from your group will present a 60-second pitch to the speakers and audience.
