- What is Momentum, exactly?
- Momentum is a year-round operating rhythm for women entrepreneurs - a Swiss annual membership built around four nested cadences: an annual retreat in Ticino (Momentum Reset), Quarterly Sprints, Monthly Reviews, and Weekly Prompts. Wrapping them: a private community and a resource library.
- How is this different from a normal entrepreneur retreat?
- A normal retreat gives you a weekend. Momentum gives you a year. The Reset retreat is one milestone inside the membership - the rest of the year, the Sprints / Reviews / Weekly Prompts keep you executing on what you decided at Reset. The rhythm is the product.
- Do I have to attend the Reset retreat to join Momentum?
- The Reset retreat is the entry point and the annual anchor, so we strongly recommend it. If your dates genuinely don't work, talk to us during your application - we occasionally onboard members mid-year and roll them into the next Reset.
- How much does Momentum cost?
- The Annual Membership is CHF 2,200 early bird (regular CHF 2,600) per year and is the centerpiece - it includes the Reset Retreat, all four Sprints, all twelve Monthly Reviews, the Weekly Prompts, two 1:1 coaching sessions with Silvia or Romina, the private community, and the resource library. Early Bird Price until 31.10.26 for up to 5 Spots. If you'd rather test the waters, Momentum Reset is available standalone for CHF 700 early bird (regular CHF 800), and the full ticket is credited toward the Annual Membership if you upgrade within 30 days of the retreat.
- Can I attend just the Reset without joining the full year?
- Yes. Momentum Reset is available standalone at CHF 700 early bird (regular CHF 800) as the entry point into Momentum. If it lands and you upgrade to the Annual Membership within 30 days of the retreat, your CHF 700 is credited in full toward the CHF 2,200 early bird Annual Membership (regular CHF 2,600). Early Bird Price until 31.10.26 for up to 5 Spots.
- Where is Momentum Reset held?
- On the shores of Lake Lugano, in Ticino - the Swiss-Italian corner of Switzerland. Full venue details are shared once your application is confirmed.
- How big is the group?
- The Reset cohort is capped at 10 women 'preneurs.
- What does the Reset retreat schedule look like?
- Day 1 is reflection and pattern-spotting. Think: long sessions, guided prompts, cohort conversations, a slow dinner. Day 2 is focus on your roadmap. You'll get the tools & tome to turn reflection into your strategic bet for the year, mapped into quarterly Sprints. Insights and feedback from Silvia & Romina is built into both days naturally - rather than having it as an agenda point.
- Is food and accommodation included?
- All meals during the retreat are included, and dietary needs are accommodated - flag anything on your application. Accommodation can be arranged close to the retreat venue but is not included in the price of the Reset or Membership.
- What are the payment and cancellation terms?
- For attendees of the Reset: A deposit of CHF 150 secures your spot at the Reset. The full amount is due before the retreat. Cancellations must be made at least 30 days before the Reset to receive a full refund, 15 days before to receive 50%. Cancellation less than 15 days prior are non-refundable. For Annual Membership participants: A deposit of CHF 150 secures your spot at the Reset and the Annual Membership. The payment can be paid in full before the Reset or can be settled in quarterly installments - the first installment being due before the Reset. Cancellations must be made at least 30 days before Reset to receive a full refund, 15 days before to receive 50%. Cancellation less than 15 days prior are non-refundable.
- Will there be photography?
- Yes! Photographs and videos will be recorded during the retreat. The photographs and videos may be published in various media, including our website, social media, press releases and other marketing materials. By participating in our event, you agree that photographs and videos of you may be recorded and used as described above. The photographs taken of you during your personal branding photoshoot will be provided to you in the weeks following the Reset.
- Who is Momentum for?
- The 'preneur - the enterprising professional who invests their time, energy, passion, and resources in building their business. That includes solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, freelancers, consultants, and coaches. Momentum is application-based to keep cohorts aligned. Currently, Momentum is designed for a female cohort.
- How much time does the weekly and monthly rhythm actually take?
- Weekly is a 5-minute prompt. Monthly is a 60-minute Review. Quarterly is a half-day Sprint. Annual is the 2-day Reset. The cadences are deliberately proportional - consistency beats intensity.
