Collective 54: Founders United in Growth

The recent Collective 54 Reunion at the beautiful Hotel Drover in Fort Worth's Stockyards was a powerful reminder of what can happen when pro-serv firm founders come together to share, learn, and grow. Each year, this event celebrates the strength of community among boutique firm leaders, and this year’s gathering felt especially inspiring.

Five key takeaways from the event:

·    Continuous evolution. The Collective 54 team truly “walks their talk,” constantly reinventing themselves and adding new value for members.

·    Member success stories. Several founders shared their journeys to successful exits or mergers, bringing Collective 54’s total to 53 member exits in just five years.

·    Collaboration in action. Members continue to help each other streamline operations, grow firms, and close deals, showing how collaboration drives collective success.

·    Thought leadership on display. Books authored by members highlight the deep expertise and influence within this remarkable community.

·    The power of people. Genuine connections formed over coffee, courtyard chats, and dinner conversations make this event truly special.

Thank you to Greg Alexander and the Collective 54 team for creating such a transformative space for founders. Here’s to another year of growth, innovation, and shared success.
