ALIVE

What would you build differently if you were starting your company today?

ALIVE is a private, five-night experience for founders and the small teams behind successful businesses.

We take your company somewhere remarkable and spend four days rethinking how it works now that AI has changed what’s possible.

We look at your systems, workflows, technology, customer experience and the work your people actually do. We experiment with AI. We build. We simplify. We question things that have been done the same way for years.

And throughout it all, we pay just as much attention to the humans experiencing the change.

One company. Four days. A different way forward.

Request Information

Your business was built for a different moment.

You made decisions based on the technology, tools and resources available at the time.

You hired people to do work that required people.

You bought software because building your own was expensive.

You created workflows around the limitations of the tools you had.

You built processes that made sense.

And they worked.

AI changes some of those assumptions.

The opportunity is bigger than finding places to automate.

It is being able to look at the company with fresh eyes and ask:

The ocean surface seen from water level, warm light above and luminous particulate below

If we were building this today,
what would we do differently?

That is what we come together to explore.

Meet ALIVE

Five nights away from the day-to-day business.

ALIVE brings a founder and a handful of key people away from the day-to-day business for five nights.

Before you arrive, we spend time getting to know your company. Your business model. Your team. Your systems. Your technology. Your workflows. Where things feel heavier than they should. Where you see opportunity.

So when we meet, we can get to work.

There is no

  • Conference room
  • Packed agenda
  • Slides to sit through

There is

  • Laptops, because we build real things
  • Time, because some ideas need somewhere to go
  • Exceptional meals, shared experiences, nature and room to think
  • Two people paying very close attention to what is happening

The two of us

Two people paying very close attention.

Works inside the business with you

Together we look at the company and ask:

  • Where is AI genuinely useful?
  • What could be simpler?
  • What could disappear?
  • What could you build now that you couldn’t reasonably build before?
  • What are you paying for because buying software used to be easier than making exactly what you need?
  • What would create more capacity for the people on your team?
  • What could make the experience better for your customers?

Some ideas will remain ideas. Others we’ll start building while we’re sitting there.

Brings somatic practice into the experience

Changing how a company works affects the people who built it and the people who work inside it. That change can bring excitement, resistance, uncertainty, energy, fear, clarity and possibility. Sometimes all in the same afternoon.

  • Create space to notice what thinking alone can miss
  • Reconnect with instinct
  • Move through what gets stuck
  • Stay connected to one another while something important is changing

Her work isn’t confined to a scheduled session. It becomes part of how the week unfolds.

Then something clicks.

At first

AI is another tool. You understand what it can do. You may already use it every day.

Then

You build something you didn’t know you could build.

Or solve a problem you’ve accepted for years.

Or realize an entire process exists because of a limitation that no longer exists.

And suddenly you’re asking

Could we make this?

Why do we still do that?

What else is possible?

We call it The Flip.

It can’t be scheduled. But we can give it room to happen. And when it does, we follow it.

Four days with room to go somewhere.

ALIVE is deliberately spacious.

A morning might turn into hours of building because we’ve found something worth following.

An afternoon might take us out on the water.

A conversation at dinner might change what we work on tomorrow.

Someone may need to walk away from the laptop.

Someone else may suddenly not want to put theirs down.

The experiences outside the work matter too.

Good food. Movement. Nature. Adventure. Conversation. Rest.

Getting away from the company gives you room to see the company.

And four full days gives us time to follow what we find.

You leave with more than ideas.

What gets created during ALIVE will be different for every company.

It might include new workflows, custom tools, AI systems, a simplified technology stack, a different customer experience, clearer roles or entirely new ways of getting work done.

Some things will be working before you leave.

Some will become priorities for the weeks that follow.

And some of the most valuable changes may be decisions about what your company simply doesn’t need anymore.

Who ALIVE is for

Established, founder-led companies with small teams.

5 to 20People in the company
2 to 6People you bring, plus the founder, who have a meaningful hand in how the company operates

You have a real business, real customers and a team you care about.

You know AI matters.

You’re curious about what it could make possible beyond writing faster emails or adding another automation.

And you’re willing to question how your company works today.

We take one company at a time, and every experience is curated to the business. Fit matters more than size, industry or how far along you are.

ALIVE

A

Awareness

V

Vitality

E

Experimentation

Make things. Try things. Learn by doing.

These aren’t five steps. They’re simply part of what happens when a small group of people gets enough time, support and space to reconsider a company together.

Why Baja Meets Bali?

Baja and Bali are two destinations with very different energy.

Baja

Raw, adventurous and experimental.

Bali

Connection, intuition, nature and space.

The meeting

We like what happens where those energies meet.

Our experiences take place at destinations chosen to give founders and their teams enough distance from everyday business to think, work and experience something different together.

Because sometimes you have to leave the business for a few days to figure out where you want to take it next.

The invitation

One company. Four days.
A different way forward.

ALIVE is the first experience from Baja Meets Bali. If your company is the kind of company this was built for, we would like to hear about it.
