American Faith Launches ‘The Summit’ As Part of New Business Network

ANAHEIM HILLS — AUGUST , 7TH, 2026 — American Faith today announced the launch of the American Faith Business Network, a year-long, invitation-only membership built for founders, executives, and business leaders who want direct access to the relationships, intelligence, and strategic partnerships that shape decisions before they reach the headlines.

Membership is capped and reviewed by application. The first 100 members admitted will be designated Founders of the network — a permanent status recognizing the leaders who helped shape it from the outset, not an early-bird discount. 

“Business leaders are operating in a market that changes faster than the rooms where they make sense of it,” said Phil Hotsenpiller, Founder and President of American Faith. “We built this network because the leaders navigating that pace deserve a room built specifically for them — not a conference they attend once a year, but a standing table they belong to.”

Where most executive networks trade on content or a single annual event, the American Faith Business Network is structured around ongoing access: quarterly strategic briefings, private introductions within a vetted member network, and a single annual, in-person Summit that functions as the centerpiece of the membership rather than its entirety.

“The math is simple,” said Josh Hotsenpiller, Founding Principal at Montgo Ventures. “One relationship, one piece of deal flow, or one avoided mistake pays for the membership many times over. This isn’t a content subscription — it’s a capital allocation toward the people and information that move your business forward.”

Membership includes:

• Quarterly strategic briefings on markets, capital, and the forces reshaping business

• Quarterly live sessions with network leaders and operators

• A private, vetted member network built around curated introductions

• Full access to the American Faith Sovereign Archive, a growing library of research and strategic intelligence

• One full day at the Annual Summit, the network’s flagship in-person gathering

The inaugural Annual Summit will take place January 23, 2027, in Newport Beach, California, and will be limited to 100 attendees—the Founders cohort. Membership is priced at $5,000 per year, with applications reviewed individually. Applications for the American Faith Business Network, including the initial cohort of Founders seats will open on September 15, 2026.
