Always on. Never clear.
Your business follows you through the door. Your body is home, but your brain is still solving problems.
The Founding 20
Build like a founder. Show up like a father.
DrivenDad is a vetted brotherhood that trains body, business, mindset, and family as one — so you win at work without losing them at home. We're opening 20 founding seats.
Apply first — you pay only if we accept you. $2,500 one time, first year included.

Why this exists
Success that costs your presence isn't success.
You built the business to buy freedom. Somehow it became a prison that follows you home — always on, never clear.
And you're alone twice: too driven for your dad friends, too family-first for your founder rooms. So you carry both halves in silence.
You get about 18 summers with your kids. The business will take every one of them if you let it.
Building wealth. Losing presence.
You're providing, but the people you love are getting your distracted version.
Strong ambition. Weak recovery.
You push hard at work while your energy, health, and discipline slowly fade.
Carrying it alone.
Founder friends understand the business. Dad friends understand the family. Nobody understands both.
You shouldn't have to choose between building something great or being there for your family. One life. Undivided.
The vision
The brotherhood entrepreneur fathers have been missing.
Most men split their life into pieces — business over here, family over there, fitness whenever there's time. That model is broken. We're building a room where the drive that builds the company is the same drive that comes home.
See what's inside
The room
A vetted room, not a network.
Every guy in here earned his seat the same way you did — application, founder interview. You're not joining a crowd. You're joining the Founding 20, the first of a brotherhood built to grow.
Meet the room →
Adventures
Bodies built together.
Recurring member workouts and a standard you actually keep. Energy isn't optional here — your business needs you sharp, and your family needs the version of you that isn't running on empty.
See the four pillars →
Business
Every member's playbook becomes the room's.
Founder dinners for the real problems, member masterclasses led by industry professionals, a real peer board, and a marketplace of trusted partners.
What you get →
Family
Brotherhood
Adventures
Flagship trips that bond for life.
The kind of trip you plan your year around. Remote, high, and hard — because the bonds that last get forged a long way from the office, where the only way through is together.

Training
Hard things
Ambition comes home.
Presence isn't a reward you collect after success — it's the definition of it. Dad-kid missions, presence challenges shared in the room, and family experiences built into the culture.
What you get →This is the room.
The Founding 20 are simply the first twenty men in it.
What you get
Four fronts, one system.
Body, business, mindset, family — the four you've been fighting on separate fronts. DrivenDad trains them as one system, inside a vetted room. Here's what that actually delivers.
Body
Group workouts and accountability, plus a personalized training plan built around your goals, your body, and the gear you've got — then the challenges that bond the room.
Business
Founder Dinners and a real peer board — the room's playbooks, deals, and introductions become yours. Grow the business, or just get your hours back. Your call.
Mindset
The inner game, kept sharp. Gratitude practice, habit stacking, and the daily non-negotiables that hold you steady — plus a room that notices when you drift.
Family
Presence made a practice — dad-and-kid missions, presence systems, and the trips that finally put the family on the calendar first.
Buy back your time · live from day one
Your first-week winThe AI Time-Back Toolkit.
The exact systems Matt and Pascal run to delegate the busywork and buy back hours — built to hand you back a full day a week, so the first thing this room does is give you time, not take it.
- The AI tools we actually use every day
- The Delegation Playbook — hand the busywork to AI
- An intro masterclass to get oriented fast
- Build your own Claude assistant — it knows you and your business, and drafts your emails from past threads (you review & send)
- Put your calendar on autopilot
- Connect your everyday tools to Claude
- Set up your "second brain" — brainstorm without repeating yourself; it already knows your goals
- Prompt engineering — get AI to do exactly what you want
Body. Business. Mindset. Family. Trained as one.
The founders
Built by founders living the same fight.
DrivenDad is led by Matt and Pascal, two entrepreneur fathers building the room they wanted and couldn't find. Founders, fathers, builders.
Matt Bourque
Built & sold a fitness business · Real estate · Father
Matt built a fitness and nutrition business and sold it — then learned the hard way that when the business went, his identity, his daily drive, and his brotherhood went with it. He rebuilt through a multi-million-dollar real estate portfolio and rediscovered his "why" through fatherhood and signing up to do hard things. He's building DrivenDad so the next man doesn't have to rebuild alone.
Pascal DeGrâce
Founder of Mistral, Memories2Go & SymplifyAI · Father
Pascal started his first company at nineteen and has spent the years since building brands, companies, and communities across Atlantic Canada — and running the founder dinners and rooms other men network in. He knows exactly what that costs: the same drive that builds the business is the drive that follows you through the front door. DrivenDad is the room he stopped waiting for someone else to build.
An honest note from Matt
"I sold my business and thought I'd feel free. Instead I lost my identity, my community, and my drive in the same stroke — turns out they were all wired to the thing I'd just walked away from. I had the exit and none of the life. What pulled me back wasn't another goal; it was a room of men doing hard things together. So I build the one I needed and couldn't find — the challenges, the rituals, the brotherhood that turns a group of driven dads into men who actually change each other. If you've built the asset but lost yourself in it, I've been there. You'll fit here."
An honest note from Pascal
"I've got ADHD. For years I treated it like the enemy — the reason I could build a company but couldn't sit still through a bedtime story. I white-knuckled it alone and called that discipline. It wasn't. This room is partly the system I wish I'd had: men who get the wiring, hold the standard, and don't let you quietly disappear into the work. If that's your fight too, you'll fit here."
Because entrepreneur fathers are tired of choosing. Because success that costs your presence is not success. Because the right men in the right room change the trajectory of each other's lives.
20 seats. Every application read personally by both founders.
The room
Twenty seats. Every one earned.
This isn't a waitlist that takes your email and forgets you. It's a vetted room of twenty entrepreneur fathers — each one interviewed and chosen, so every man beside you is a real peer with skin in the game.
Get in now and you're founding: in before the room fills, part of the original core as it grows past a thousand.
When the twenty are seated, the founding room closes.

What you get
Your Founding 20 seat includes:
Beyond the four pillars above, your seat includes the room itself — and everything that makes it run.
-
01
The Room
A private, vetted room of nineteen other entrepreneur fathers. Every mastermind sells "network." We hand-pick yours, one application at a time — the men beside you are the whole point.
-
02
A direct line to the team
Biweekly founder calls and the weekly room, plus the Founder Dinners we already run. No layers, no community managers.
-
03
Your Body & Mindset engines, from day one
Your personalized training plan and the full AI Time-Back Toolkit (both above) are yours the week you join — your first win before onboarding is done.
-
04
Your first year of membership, included
Standard membership gets priced at launch. Whatever it lands on, your first full year is covered by your seat.
The founding welcome kit
Cap, tee, and patch — the standard, made physical.
Apply for a Founding 20 SeatApplication first · Payment only after approval
What happens
Your first weeks, then the next five years.
One payment, and it starts working the week you're in — then keeps compounding long after launch.
01
Your first weeks
You win immediately
No waiting for launch. The value lands the week you're in — a real win before onboarding is even done.
- — Week one: the AI Time-Back Toolkit + your first delegation win
- — Your custom training plan, built to your body and gear
- — Your first founder call and first Founder Dinner
02
Public launch
The doors open
DrivenDad opens to the public and grows toward a brotherhood of 1,000+ fathers. You don't get absorbed into the crowd — you're the founding core.
- — You're already inside — established in the room before the crowd arrives
- — Your first full year of membership carries through the public launch
- — The brotherhood you joined early keeps getting stronger around you
03
Year one and beyond
The compounding
This is where the trade starts to reverse — not in a motivational-quote way, in a your-actual-calendar way. One loop, running all year:
- — Sharpen the business with other entrepreneur dads who've solved what you're stuck on
- — Delegate what felt undelegatable — with the AI systems and playbooks we share
- — Get your body and energy back — training you'll actually keep, with men who show up
- — Reclaim the hours the business was quietly eating
- — Spend those hours where you wanted them all along: present, at home
That's the loop a man re-ups for.
A life you don't need a vacation from.
From the room
Men who've trained, traveled, and built with us.
Applications for the Founding 20 are open — the room is still forming.
"Most valuable part for me was the networking, and being in a room with guys who are on the same path. The conversations throughout the day were gold — it's rare to find that kind of group."
"The most valuable part of the retreat for me was the AI and the real estate speakers, plus the time in the sauna just talking casually and openly with everyone. I made a lot of great connections and hope to keep them alive."
"The social time between events was gold — learning about everyone's struggles, successes, and projects."
"It was very nice to meet other dads with similar interests. Creating contacts and exchanging info with a few guys was definitely cool and helpful for future projects."
"The event was great, the speakers were great, and it was nice to be in a room of guys who have businesses and families and deal with similar challenges."
Words from fathers at our first DrivenDad retreat.

- The AI Time-Back Toolkit + your personalized training plan, day one
- Biweekly founder calls · the weekly room · Founder Dinners
- Founding recognition · welcome kit · priority access

The 60-Day guarantee
Join the room and show up for your first calls. Do that, and if this isn't the room we promised, tell us — full refund, and your seat goes to the next man.
You can't pay us today even if you want to. Apply first — if we don't believe you belong in this room, you'll never see a payment link. The vetting is the guarantee.
Apply for a Founding 20 SeatOne payment. No plans. The price is part of the vetting.
When these 20 seats fill, the founding price never exists again.
The public launch can wait. Your kids' summers can't.
