Co-founders of The Bold Moves Society

A society for established women founders and experts, and the two people who run it. We built Mind Artists, the studio behind the live rooms, the programmes and the technology they run on. The Bold Moves Society is where that studio works with founders.

Why a society

The Ability Was There. The Identity Came Later.

Daria said no to her first TEDx invitation. “I'm not the speaker.” Two TEDx stages later she declined three more, this time from choice. Barak spent a year with six singing teachers to stand on a stage and sing once. We tell these stories because the ability was there the whole time. The identity wasn't.

Between us we’ve built nine businesses, and most of them failed. That is exactly why we know what a move costs, and what waiting costs more. The same approach took us from a village yoga studio to a room of a hundred strangers in a country where nobody knew us, in two months.

The Bold Moves Society is our own bold move, made in public: a free workshop, a 90-day programme for eight women, and a room of founders who make their moves alongside us and ask each other how it went.

Barak

The house and the society

A Mind Artists Company

Mind Artists is the studio we started together: the live rooms, the identity and breathwork work, the programmes and the technology they run on. The Bold Moves Society is the part of that studio built for established women founders and experts. Same two people, one door made for you.
