A painting company owner retreat, led by the people who do the work.
Our partner retreats are our management team getting together with our partners and leading them: sales, leadership and recruiting, worked through together, with families along for the trip.
Inside the 2026 Summer Partner Retreat
This is what “we do the work” looks like.
The people at the front of the room are the same people who work inside our partners’ businesses every week. Our management team leads the sessions. Partner owners and their teams dig in alongside them.
Aleph Ventures 2026 Summer Partner Retreat
What Happens There
Sales, leadership, and the people who make both work.
A retreat isn’t a break from the work. It’s the work, done in one place, with everyone in the same room.
01
Sales
“Drive sales, generate momentum.” Sessions led by our sales leaders, the same people who run launch training for new sales staff, national sales masterminds and certified field coaching across our partner companies.
02
Leadership & recruiting
“How are you inspiring your teams and searching for new talent?” Owners and their leaders work on the people side of the business: leading the team they have and finding the people they need next.
03
Small-group work
Partners break into small groups to work through their own businesses with peers who run painting companies too, alongside the Aleph leaders who work in those businesses every week.
And it isn’t only owners. Partners bring their families and kids, and the lakeside venue leaves room for time together outside the sessions.
Why It Matters
Owning a painting company can be lonely.
Most owners carry the business by themselves. Every hard call ends up on your desk, and there aren’t many people who know what that’s like. The retreat puts you in a room full of people who do.
01
Refresh
Step out of the day-to-day for a few days. Get some distance from the phone and the job board, and come back with a clearer head.
02
Connect
Spend real time with owners and leaders from painting companies across North America — people who have been exactly where you are.
03
You’re not alone
Talk shop, trade what’s working, and leave with friends in the industry you can call when the next hard decision lands.
Who’s in the Room
Owners, their leaders, and our management team.
Retreats are for Aleph partners. That means the owners of our partner painting companies, the leaders who run those companies day to day, and the Aleph team that works beside them.

Partners’ families and kids
If you’re looking for a painting business peer group you can simply sign up for, this isn’t one. The way in is a partnership, and that starts with a conversation.
The retreat is a few days. The partnership is every week.
We don’t operate as advisors on the sidelines. We embed with our partners and their teams to drive execution. From weekly one-on-ones and team meetings to field coaching and financial trending, we engage in the consistent, week-by-week work that turns plans into results.
Between retreats, our sales leaders lead national sales masterminds and our production coaches host national training sessions. Where a major market supports more than one partner, those partners often benefit from a deeper sense of camaraderie and leverage of shared services.

$80M+Revenue Generated
Aleph Partners generate over $80 million of revenue, with 9 partners over $4M of annual revenue.
30%Growth
Aleph Partners average 30% revenue growth in their first year of partnership.
The key difference between a coaching company and a Joint Venture partnership with Aleph can be summarized as follows: Skin In The Game. There is just a natural limit to how much skin in the game a service provider has, as opposed to an equity partner. We make money the same way our partners do and thus have fully aligned incentives. This often means Aleph will step into key management roles and do the work required to help scale the business, not simply advise on what work is needed. In light of that, our level of partnership is comparably more robust and deeper in the tools, infrastructure, and level of engagement.
What is your policy on having multiple partners in one market?
While we don’t have a strict policy, as investors we do consider and evaluate this dynamic with all of our potential partnerships. We have multiple major markets that support multiple partners, and those partners often benefit from a deeper sense of camaraderie and leverage of shared services.
Ready When You Are
Let’s build something durable.
If you’ve built a great brand and a durable team, we should talk. No exit clock. No strip-and-flip. Just partners who yoke up and stay.
