Dan Martell’s Elite Entrepreneur Program

AI won’t fix a business
that only works when you do.

Bolt AI onto chaos and you just get faster chaos. Elite fixes the foundation first, then puts AI to work running it without you.

  • Elite room of world-class founders, operators who’ve already solved what’s in front of you
  • New playbooks and coaching every week: Dan walks you through exactly what worked to build a $100M business
  • Plus exclusive first access to Dan’s own AI tools, so you execute with a speed most teams can’t match

Nobody builds a business just to be the hardest working employee.

Most founders I meet at your level have already done the hard work. You built something real. Then you realized it wasn’t sustainable, because it all runs through you.

You’ve taken the courses. Read the books. Run the playbooks. And you’re still the one holding it together. Still working in it when you want to work on it.

The fix isn’t more effort. You’re already working hard enough. The fix is building the next stage the right way. Systems that run without you. AI doing real work across the business. A team that carries it whether you’re in the room or not.

Getting there isn’t a mystery. It’s a sequence. That’s what Elite coaches you through. I walk you through building a business that works for you, instead of one that only works because of you.

— Dan Martell

The five shifts

The sequence, in order.

01

From Operator to Architect

I spend 97% of my time building Martell Ventures, and almost none of it doing the work. You climb from doing → reviewing → strategy → architect. The higher you climb, the more you’re worth.

02

From Bottleneck to System Builder

The “only-I-can-do-it” belief caps a company at about $300K the first time. Then it shows up again at every level you reach. You break it for good by building leaders who run the business without you. The test: you could leave for six months and they’d 10x it.

03

From Cash-Flow Machine to Sellable Asset

$0 → $250M in enterprise value in ~15 months, self-funded. A cash-flow machine pays you. A sellable asset pays you, runs without you, and adds to your net worth at a 3–5x multiple.

04

From Tinkerer to Tech-Enabled Leader

This is where you stop saying “I use AI” and start saying “it runs”, a department, a workflow, a process. Build the machine that runs the machine.

05

From Culture by Default to Culture by Design

You decide how you do business: who’s in the room, the standard, what you won’t tolerate. A culture designed on purpose, with leaders who raise the bar without you pushing.

Founders Dan Martell coaches

What our clients are saying.

“I 10x’d the fund size to $300M, and immediately got $17M in commitments from people who’d previously rejected me.”Sam Sells · Impact Growth Capital
“When I joined, it was chaos, bad culture, poor leadership, and it was all because of me. Since then we rebuilt our leadership team, finalized a JV with a multi-billion dollar powerhouse, and negotiated a multi-year, nearly nine-figure contract.”Jacob Emery
“When I started working with Dan, my agency style business was making just shy of $20,000 per month. In the last 12 months, we clocked in 1.8 million in revenue.”Charles Mullany · HostGenius
“Working with Dan has made just a huge impact. We have built a solid eight-figure manufacturing business, up to a team of about 80 people, and the coaching has helped put us in a position to more than double.”David Racino · American Canning
“The best coaching I’ve had in 14 years of running businesses. Dan helped us grow 505-Junk to $4.5M, one of the largest independent junk-removal companies in Canada.”Barry Hartman · 505-Junk
“I scaled and sold my company for roughly $50 million at age 27. I have been around a lot of mentors, and I can tell you Dan is the real deal.”Josh Lustig
“I’ve recruited over 23 coaches into my organization. That’s almost a million dollars of increased revenue you’ve helped me bring in.”Adam Roach · I Love Coaching Co.
“We went from about $300,000 in annual revenue to over $2.2 million this year.”Ross Ronan · Ronan Healthcare Consultants
“I’ve now got a hundred units under contract, and we just pulled the trigger on a $1.7 million deal.”Tony Leblanc
“In May of this year I am going to close over $10 million in loan production, something I have not done since July of 2021. I feel like a true leader again. It has changed everything.”Jeff Aronheim
“Compared to the over $300,000 I’ve spent on coaching so far, Dan literally eats the complexity for you in 15 to 20 minutes.”Bijal Patel · WeLaunch
“I scaled aggressively to over $200K a month and everything broke. With Dan, I built real, proper systems and a team.”Jeremy Pogue
“We just passed $6 million in revenue. We have been able to take the teachings and the principles and add millions in revenue to our bottom line.”Graeme Barlow · Iversoft
“We’ve now closed our second acquisition of the year, and we’ve grown the team to almost 70 employees.”Brett Wilson · Smoochie Pooch

Questions founders ask before they apply

Q&A.

Dan Martell’s coaching program for Elite entrepreneurs. For founders of all kinds, Dan pours into and coaches you through what’s blocking you from achieving what you know you’re meant to. By using his 200+ frameworks, templates, and systems, you’ll also takeaway the most actionable advice, from someone whose already been there and built that. 

Yes. Dan has built, bought and invested across software, services, trades, real estate and retail, and the founders inside Elite span even wider. The levers Elite works on, leadership, brand, AI, enterprise value, apply to every serious business.

No. But if you build with a partner, we recommend you both come. The best decisions get made when you hear the same things at the same time.

You book a strategy call that typically runs about 45 minutes. We map your single biggest bottleneck and figure out together whether Elite is the right room for you right now. You’ll leave with a clear picture either way. The call is also where we walk through the investment and what your year would look like.

There's no perfect time. That's kind of the point.

In nearly three decades around founders, I’ve learned one thing about timing: it’s never perfect. There’s always a launch, a hire, a fire. Meanwhile, the gap between what your company is worth now and what it could be worth keeps getting wider. The founders who win don’t wait. They decide.
