Sacred Authority
The Weekend by Maude Labs is a four-day executive reset for founders and leaders scaling into rooms with higher stakes — the board seat, the term sheet, the next round.
The results are already there. What runs behind them is recognition speed: how long it takes a room to read what your numbers already say. Every room you have to convince costs you a week, and every week costs you a term, a rate, or a deal you had already earned.
Your positioning is built live, delivered to the room, corrected on delivery, and delivered again. Your pitch is pressure-tested against an investor before it counts.
You leave with more than clarity. You leave with the exact presence you carry into your next boardroom, your next negotiation, your next raise — and the certainty to hold it under a hard question.
This is not just a retreat to unwind. It is a working room for executives who already lead

CO-FOUNDER, MAUDE LABS
Erika Aquino
Angel investor with a portfolio across five countries and a strategic advisor who has sat on both sides of the table. She runs the live investor exercise — the hard questions asked here are the ones you'd actually get, in the one room where they don't cost you a term.
CEO, CO-FOUNDER OF MAUDE LABS
Tin Santos
Thirteen years and fifty brands, including Apple, Samsung, L'Oréal, and Lazada. Built Maude Labs into a global brand practice for founders scaling toward raise and exit, positioning built against performance data rather than taste. Plays the mock investor and delivers the Day 3 positioning read.
VP, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Monica Dizon
Nearly a decade in communications and partnerships across luxury and premium retail, building brand narratives for clients selling on margin rather than volume. Sits on the Maude Labs leadership team delivering the Day 3 brand and business positioning read — how the market currently reads you.
MOVEMENT
Kitkat Cuenca
A Manila-based yoga teacher with over seven years of teaching experience, trained in Vinyasa, Yin, Pre & Postnatal Yoga, Kids Yoga, and Myofascial Integrated Alignment & Stretching.
