1 Maverick Entrepreneur Can Transform an Industry
1000 Together Can Transform the world
Maverick1000 is an invitation only, global network of industry transforming entrepreneurs connecting in bold new ways to challenge and collectively support each other’s biggest business goals, engage in reinvigorating experiences and co-create a worldwide multiplier impact (to date raising over $3 million+).
They believe their future is bigger than their past (regardless of what they’ve already achieved).
Maverick1000 was created to intentionally give you the push and support essential to accomplishing something that truly matters.
You can tap into other like-minded peers who really get where you’re going and where you’ve come from.
The right group of kindred spirits are eager to celebrate your wins, challenge you to greater accomplishments, share breakthrough ideas, and reinvigorate you during the natural emotional roller coaster of breaking new ground.
Quite frankly, the bigger the future you are working on creating, the more support, resources, trusted input, connections, and energy renewal you’ll need beyond the “ordinary.”
Who are these Impactful Entrepreneurs?
21st century business leaders who collide at the intersection of bold business initiatives, happiness and greater meaning. At their core they believe in growth, impact and joy…and how each one is interconnected.
What Maverick Members Say:
Why The 1000?
The big idea is to light 1,000 ‘Suns’ who can each ignite another 1,000 suns.
A sun is a universe creator and responsible for life everywhere. Maverick1000 members are the visionary leaders and exceptional entrepreneurs with the significant reach, influence, voices, and capabilities to create universes. Members are nominated for their accomplishments, reach, influence, and capacity to be a “Sun” and light 1,000 more suns.
We’re looking for 3 categories:
- You already have a big voice, reach or influence in the entrepreneurial community.
- You are a world-class expert.
- You are an industry leader who wants to become a lighthouse back to your industry or even transcend your current business category.
Members meet periodically throughout the year to connect in bold new ways to challenge and collectively support each other’s biggest business goals, engage in exclusive experiences and co-create a significant, worldwide multiplier impact.

Maverick Retreats and Experiences
Most entrepreneurs don’t realize the extent of their burnout, reduced energy, and creativity that comes from being “always on.” Maverick gives you a reason (and pragmatic ROI) to make time to rebuild, recharge & rejuvenate.
Throughout the year, members are invited to take part in unique events such as 3X Maverick Multiplier Retreats with participating icons, Epic Experiences like journeying to Machu Pichu or flying MiG jets in Russia, Impact trips to build self-sustaining villages in Haiti, family learning opportunities, and even Camp Maverick.
Maverick Impact
We named the group Maverick1000 because we believe a small group of 1,000 extraordinary individuals and leaders can truly change the world. 10% of Maverick member fees go directly into a joint Impact fund to co-create a significant “ripple” effect. To date, we’ve raised over $3,000,000+ in charitable contributions…but even more powerful is contributing our brainpower, resources, and network to exponentially increase our total impact.
During 3X Retreats and experiences, Maverick members have the opportunity to make a measurable difference with our collective entrepreneurial resources by working with cause partners and/or mentoring new mission-driven startups.
We’ve previously worked on big issues like developing self-sustaining economic engines for villages we built in Haiti, helping develop educational programs for protecting the headwaters of the Amazon, aiding returning vets with entrepreneurial opportunities, and tackling global issues such as the declining bee population, the recent refugee crisis, and many more. What’s more, each year Maverick members are invited to Sir Richard Branson’s private island to brainstorm key projects for Virgin Unite.
