Founders Hike 20 miles in Yosemite. Season 1 · Chapter 1
12SF Seasons - a challenge-documentary series with founders in the Bay Area -> seasons.12scrappyfounders.com
Season 1 · Chapter 1
First episode of a documentary series following a small group of Bay Area founders through a year of outdoor challenges.
This isn’t a casual weekend walk in the woods. We're taking a small group of 8 (seed+) founders off the grid for a physical challenge in Yosemite.
A 14-hour, 20-mile endurance hike through Yosemite with 6,500+ ft elevation and a pre-dawn start.
The whole thing is filmed. Our creative team hikes with us, shooting a cinematic doc episode of us pushing through it.
We'll stay overnight, hike and cook dinners together - the best part!
2 nights
A note on who's coming
The group is mostly our core members - founders from the 12SF community we already do this with. For this episode we're opening 2 spots to founders outside the community and we're choosing who joins rather than taking the first to sign up.
If you're applying for one of the 2 open spots, here's how it works:
Register below to apply
We'll hop on a 20 min call with the people who feel like the best fit (Mon-Wed) and confirm the final two before the weekend
You're only charged if you're approved after the call - registering just puts you in the running
(Existing 12SF members: use the member ticket to join directly)
The Logistics:
Friday: Arrive at the Airbnb by 6:00 PM. We’ll settle in and prep for the trail.
Saturday: We push our limits on the trail and follow it up with a proper evening - cooking dinner together and having fun.
