Between sessions
How cohorts work online
1
Live bootcamp sessions
Weekly online classes covering one business fundamental at a time — taught live, recorded for replay.
2
Cohort channels
Always-on peer groups where founders share wins, blockers, and resources between sessions.
3
Virtual case clinics
One founder's real challenge, worked by the cohort online — structured, confidential, practical.
4
Mentor office hours
Specialist sessions on finance, legal, sales, and operations — all remote.
5
Weekly commitments
Every member leaves each session with one written action for the week ahead.
In person only
Online builds the foundation. Events make it real.
Bootcamps, teachings, and cohort work happen fully online — so multiple cohorts can run at once without geography getting in the way. We only meet in person for experiences & events: planned retreats, founder dinners, company visits, and multi-day trips.
Picture three days in Kibuye on Lake Kivu: a camera crew documenting the retreat, candlelit dinners, team games, morning business seminars, and lake-side conversations between founders who've been building together online for weeks. That is the Keynus in-person model — intentional, immersive, and worth travelling for.
