The Komo Club has opened applications for Cohort 3 of its structured performance program for founders, operators and leaders.
Founded by Rohit Bhargava, The Komo Club is built on the premise that the same systems and frameworks used to scale companies should be applied to the person leading them.
While startups get support from accelerators, and advisors, Bhargava wanted to focus on ensuring founders also receive strong backing in what he calls a ‘human accelerator’.
“Founders obsess over building products, raising capital and designing scalable systems,” he said.
“But they rarely apply that same intentional design to themselves… their energy, clarity, health and relationships. And ultimately, that’s the highest leverage point in the business.”
Cohort 3 runs from April 20 to June 12.
Building personal systems
Bhargava said systematic thinking is second nature in business, with founders building dashboards, KPIs, operating cadences and performance metrics to drive growth. He sees The Komo Club as applying that lens to human performance, but not as executive coaching or a mastermind group.
The program is designed as infrastructure; structured tools and rhythms that help the cohort members deliberately strengthen the foundations that directly influence performance, from physical health and energy to
mental clarity and decision-making, relationships and network, and long-term alignment and life design.
“When those areas are structured and intentional, performance improves,” Bhargava said.
“Better energy leads to better decisions. Stronger relationships reduce noise. Clearer thinking improves execution. Sustainable performance isn’t accidental — it’s engineered.”
Founders who know
Cohort 3 brings together a curated lineup of founders and operators with deep, lived experience across business, investing and wellbeing.
They include Smiling Mind cofounder Janey Martino, now CEO of Kic; Our Innovation Fund founder David Shein; CreativeCubes cofounder Tobi Skovron; Gabby Leibovich, cofounder of Catch.com.au; and Simon Griffiths from Who Gives A Crap, a global brand generating hundreds of millions in revenue while donating over $10 million to help build toilets and improve sanitation around the world.
Tobi Skovron reflected on the importance of depth within high-performing communities:
“Community only works when it’s built on depth and trust,” he said.
“The best founders don’t just need more advice or another networking event. They need the right environment A space where they can think clearly, be challenged honestly and have real conversations that go beyond surface level.
That’s where momentum is created. That’s where real progress happens.”
David Shein has been on both sides of the table, and now, as an investor, says founder capacity risk is just as real as market and product risk, but.
Sustainable performance isn’t optional, it’s strategic. The founders who build systems around their energy, clarity and resilience tend to outperform over the long term,” he said.
Bhargava believes performance infrastructure will become increasingly important across the ecosystem.
“Ambition isn’t the issue. Most founders are already operating at a high level,” he said.
“The real opportunity is applying the same rigour to the founder as we apply to the company. If we build systems for product, capital and growth, we should build systems for the humans leading it.”
