DC Black Phuket took place in early March 2025, bringing together approximately 30 location-independent founders in Phuket, Thailand. This marked the first time a DC Black event was held in Asia, fulfilling requests from members in the eastern hemisphere.
Attendees participated in a variety of activities designed to foster connection and personal growth. The event kicked off with a casual group dinner, followed by a day of exploration that included beach yoga, an ATV ride with ziplining through the jungle, and an opening party on the beach. A Muay Thai class started day two, which also featured business-focused group discussions, a cooking class in Old Town, and a shared meal.
The final day centered around reflection, with breathwork, optional ice baths, and a brunch featuring a special guest speaker. The event concluded with a sunset catamaran ride that included swimming and paddle boarding. The event aimed to create memorable experiences and facilitate meaningful conversations among high-caliber entrepreneurs.
The event was held at a five-star resort on Tri-Trang Beach, offering amenities such as multiple pools, a 24-hour fitness center, and several dining options. Attendees represented a diverse range of industries, including SaaS & Tech, Coaching, Ecommerce & Amazon, Professional Services & Industry Specific Consulting, and Affiliate marketing.
This is a DC BLACK event — an exclusive tier of Dynamite Circle for established business founders typically generating $1M+ in annual revenue. DC BLACK members are scaling companies, acquiring businesses, or leading high-growth teams.
