Top Founders · His Event Is Most Expensive, Always Sells Out · 25 Dec 2015 podcast

And one of the core reasons for that is we didn't pay the speakers.

Instead, what we did is I took a page out of Peter Diamandis' XPRIZE and we did, the best talk is voted by the audience, $125,000.

Yeah.

So, so I made a little bit of money, I guess, but it got swallowed up cause that, that, uh, Tim's books.

Um, but we, we pretty much broke even, I think revenues for, for that event were around like the $200,000 range.

Um, and, um,

And yeah, it wasn't anything kind of to write home about.

But the nice thing about that model is because it's so lean and again, the largest cost for most events are speaker fees.

Then now we're charging such a high price point.

There's such high demand to come to our events.

We're very, very profitable.

Yeah.

But 800, 900 K and then we still, we can still, you know, tap sponsors and stuff like that.

So, you know, we're, we're approaching like million dollar events.

Um, and we don't do it for the money, but again, it comes down to the quality of people in the room.

And just did we, we have a very specific target audience that we go after.

Our first event, yeah, was May, 2013.

That would have been October, 2012.

Yeah.

Less than that.
