Aspiring Founders
You have an idea but need help understanding how to make it official.
FEATURED IN:
Built From Real Experience
Built by someone who has already walked the path.
Before Maui ever thought about teaching future nonprofit founders, he lived the journey himself.
In 2003, Maui lost his younger brother to gang-related violence in Oceanside, California. At the eulogy, he made a promise that would change the course of his life. That promise eventually became StreetWaves.
Today, StreetWaves has helped thousands of young people find their way off the streets and into the water — discovering confidence, community, mentorship, and direction along the way.
Now Maui is preparing to help other purpose-driven leaders build organizations that create the same kind of lasting community impact.
Because one person's calling can change an entire community.
JOIN THE PRIORITY WAITLISTA Clearer Way Forward
Here is what most future founders get wrong.
Many people believe launching a nonprofit starts with paperwork. It does not. It starts with clarity.
When your mission is clear, the next decisions become easier. You know who you serve, what you are building, what support you need, and which steps deserve your attention first.
That is why the 1M Founders Beta is being developed: not to overwhelm you with more information, but to provide the roadmap most first-time founders never receive.
Inside this beta, Maui will reveal the same framework he used to turn one promise into a nonprofit that has impacted thousands of young people.
You'll discover why most aspiring founders begin in the wrong place—and the simple shift that changes everything.
Because Maui is not looking for thousands of students. He is looking for the right ten.
A small group of Founding Members will be invited into the first Beta experience. These members will receive early access and help shape the future of the program through their experience and feedback.
When enrollment opens, Priority Waitlist members will be invited first. If places remain after that, the opportunity may then be shared with the public.
