​From social clubs to wellness resorts, hospitality has long catered to adults. But what happens when you design a destination around the full modern family—and structure it to scale?

​Join us for a 60-minute deep dive with the founders of Brooklyn's new Members' Club for Families, The Beginning.

​Built and operated by Michael Schoen & Chris De Koos of Little Big Hospitality, the club provides a fully programmed, design-forward, family-first platform combining childcare, enrichment, wellness, dining, and community under one roof.

​In this session, Paul & Brad will act as "institutional investors", engaging directly with Michael & Chris to learn about their journey, dissect the business model, and explore its growth potential and how it fits within today’s capital frameworks.

​What We’ll Cover

  • ​What makes bundled programming, F&B, and care services investable

  • ​Why underutilized urban space is ripe for family-first formats

  • ​The OpCo/PropCo structure behind Little Big’s hybrid model

  • ​The platform potential: network effects, brand equity, and non-dues revenue

  • ​How institutional investors assess family-first hospitality as a scalable category
