But first, a word from our founders:

“Brickyard is the Bermuda Triangle of hard work... 100 hour weeks are easy here.”

“A pressure cooker for finding PMF. When you go there as a team, anyone still on the fence will end up leaving, while the core team is revealed and leans in harder. The team will get closer.”

“None of us moved to Brickyard for the Chattanooga nightlife or because we couldn’t raise elsewhere. We came here to ******* leave it all on the field.”

“The founders at Brickyard are a special type. Everyone has put their life on hold to give everything to their companies. If you think you’ll like Brickyard, then you’ll love it. If you think it sounds like too much work, it probably is.”

“Brickyard is a simple idea taken very seriously: success is more likely with sustained focus & intensity. It's a founder-dojo built around getting needle-moving reps in. It's where Rocky would be if he wanted to be a founder.”

“This is not ‘not another accelerator’. It’s not an accelerator at all.”

“We were at a point where the team felt we needed to divorce ourselves from the distracting elements of startup life that don’t move the needle. Nowhere could we do this more effectively than Brickyard.”

“There is a huge power in building with other people who ‘get it’. Being around founders you know deeply who celebrate your wins with you, because they know how significant breaking $500k ARR is.”

“Brickyard is like being dropped into the big leagues after playing pickup. I thought it would be more about learning new things, but a lot of what I've learned was unlearning old habits that slowed down our team.”

“Proximity is one of the biggest game changers at Brickyard. Instead of a-sync advice from out-of-touch VCs, you just walk 10 feet to ask real operators that you know deeply, the real questions, and they have your back when things go sideways.”
