FounderTrailz.
Clarity. Connection. A Clear Path Forward.
The Struggle We Face as Founders.
Building a startup is thrilling — but also overwhelming, noisy and isolating in ways few people truly understand.
We Need Clarity
LinkedIn threads, investor hot takes, podcast rabbit holes. You're drowning in advice, but still unsure what to do next.
We Need True Connection
Only other founders and builders truly know the pressure, the urgency, the stakes.
We Need a Safe Space
Tons of choices no one prepares you for. You need perspective. Space. And people you trust.
A Moving Mastermind
FounderTrailz is a 3-day moving mastermind for early-stage founders (Seed to Series A) — combining curated hikes, real-time strategy sessions with top-tier mentors and honest conversations with fellow founders who truly understand the journey.
You’ll leave with more than fresh mountain air:
-
A clear, actionable plan
-
A trusted circle of peers
-
The clarity you’ve been craving
This isn’t just time off and a retreat — it’s time on your business, with fewer distractions and deeper breakthroughs.
Each Trail is focused on a specific challenge you’re facing right now — from Product-Market Fit, to Fundraising Strategy, Co-Founder Dynamics, or Founder Resilience.

Trailblazers' Stories
It wasn’t just a hike. It was a real pause, the kind you don’t realize you need until you’re in it. Walking alongside other founders, talking about what truly matters: fears, tough decisions, what keeps us going. No pretending, no filters…
With Fabian as a leader, everything unfolded naturally. The deep conversations, the laughs, the quiet moments. I walked away with clarity, perspective, and renewed energy.
The best part is that It blends the human side with the entrepreneurial one, and the physical with the emotional. If you’re building something and sometimes feel like you’re doing it alone, this is pure fuel to keep going.

I don’t know exactly what it is but something shifts when you walk side by side with other founders. No stage. No slides. No bullshit. Just real talk and real people.

Hi, I’m Fabian.
My name is Alexa Young
I’m both a guide and a fellow traveler on the entrepreneurial journey.
Over the past years, I’ve:
-
🚀 Founded two startups
-
🏢 Built a corporate incubator
-
🌍 Supported innovation projects across SMEs and Fortune 500s
I’ve walked alongside teams at every stage- helping them navigate uncertainty, build momentum and make better decisions to reach the summit - one step at a time. I’m not here to throw buzzwords or hand over a playbook. I’m here to help you ask better questions, explore bold possibilities and turn insights into action.
This isn’t a retreat.
It’s your restart.
Let’s take that next step - together.
