Retreats at the Edward Lowe Foundation are designed specifically for leaders of second-stage companies — those beyond the startup phase with the intent and capacity for continued growth. Held at Big Rock Valley, the foundation’s learning campus in southwest Michigan, our retreats give participants a unique opportunity to get away from daily distractions and really focus on building their businesses.

These programs address the many challenges that second-stagers face, including building a management team, communication issues, company culture and strategic growth. Although curriculum is designed as a continuum, each program stands on its own.

Granted, there are a lot of educational opportunities for business leaders. Here’s what makes us different:

• A laser-like focus on second-stage entrepreneurs.
• Relevant content for addressing the challenges of growth-oriented companies.
• Facilitation that elicits the group genius.
• A deep understanding of peer learning.
• Big Rock Valley’s inspirational setting — 2,000 acres of woodland, prairie and wetland.
