Builder's Forum — Q2 2026
About This Event
The Skylia Collective is a quarterly gathering of independent builders, solo founders, and operators who are scaling real businesses — without the playbook. No pitch decks. No networking theater. Just honest conversation about what is working, what is not, and what comes next.
Each session is limited to 12 seats to keep the conversation deep and actionable. Every attendee is hand-selected based on complementary expertise and a genuine willingness to share.
The Mission
Skylia Insights builds tools that save people hours. Four products, one shared infrastructure. The Collective is where the people behind those kinds of tools — founders, operators, builders — sit at the same table.
We meet in person, share actual numbers, and leave with actionable insight — not inspiration.
What to Expect
- A structured morning session with 3–4 deep-dive discussions on the topics below.
- Working lunch with 1-on-1 pairing based on complementary expertise.
- A private debrief document shared after the event with key takeaways and action items.
- No recordings. No social media recaps. What happens at the Collective stays at the Collective.
