Milano · Est. MMXXVI · By application
Fuori Porta is a private Italian society for founders. One half of it happens at speed — Sunday roads, espresso before the ignition. The other half happens slowly — a small room of peers in a rural estate, phones down, no agenda.
02 The essence
We don't do networking. We do company — chosen carefully, kept for years.
Fuori Porta means out of the gates. Out of the city, out of the calendar, out of the version of yourself that answers email. What is left is a founder with an afternoon and people worth spending it on.
Everything is deliberately small: twenty founding members, twelve seats in the room, one long weekend in October. Small is the product. It's what makes a Sunday feel like it belongs to you and a dinner feel unguarded.
No stage. No speakers. No pitching, no hiring, no raising in the room. Two branches, one house — join either, or both.
03 Two branches
Branch one
Founders who drive. One Sunday a month, a route worth the early alarm, an espresso before the ignition and a long lunch after it. An October rally to close the year.
Branch two
Founders who need the other thing. Three unplugged days in a private rural estate with eleven peers — slow hospitality, honest conversation, nothing to perform.
04 How it works
A short form below. Your name, how to reach you, what you build, and — if you're here for the Road — what you drive.
Every application is read by a person, not a filter. Expect a reply within seven days.
A short call, mostly to make sure the room stays the room. It runs both ways: ask us anything.
Membership confirmed, dates in your calendar, and the first invitation in your inbox.

Operating founders and builders — revenue or funded, comfortable being unguarded, allergic to small talk. No consultants selling into the room.
What's said out of the gates stays out of the gates. No pitching, no hiring, no raising. Arrive on time, drive within your limits, put the phone away.
We read every word and reply within seven days.
