Retreat goal:
To ensure strategic alignment among 19 portfolio companies while driving improved synergy and collaborative growth planning. The venture builders crafted a focused environment where companies could refine their business models, assess shared challenges and map out concrete strategies for future expansion.
The Open Platform
Company Overview
Ton Fondation is a venture builder powering a constellation of early-stage tech startups. Their portfolio spans multiple countries, teams and disciplines – remote by design but connected by ambition. For one unforgettable summer, they pressed pause on Zoom and gathered 200 people at Maglian Campus to do something few companies ever attempt: build culture, collaboration and product momentum – together, in person.
Why They Chose Maglian?
To pull off a 6-week camp for 200 people, Ton Fondation needed more than a venue. They needed:
- A full-campus takeover with total operational support
- Staying on budget while delivering high quality that would impress their people
- Infrastructure for deep work, daily meetings, and productive focus
- Seamless logistics: flights, transfers, special meals, gear, and last-minute changes
- Nature and adventure to spark connection and new ideas
- The rare ability to make the complex feel effortless
What they got was more than a retreat – it was a custom-built operating system for accelerated collaboration.
What the Summer Camp Actually Looked Like?
Weekdays:
Heads-down work until lunch
Strategy huddles, pitch prep, and product reviews
Outdoor meetings in shaded gardens and lakeside corners
Chef-made meals tailored to every dietary need
Evenings reserved for optional meetups or complete digital detox
Weekends:
Outdoor adventures: kayaking, caving, hiking, sport challenges
Tournaments, talent shows, bonfire parties, sunrise swims
Unscripted moments that built real bonds – the kind you carry back to work
What Came Out of It?
Company-level impact
- A new product was launched – imagined, tested, and shipped on-site
- Cross-company collaboration took off organically
- Teams gained clarity, speed, and confidence in decision-making
Human-level impact
- Silos faded. A shared identity formed across companies
- Teams returned with renewed energy, stronger relationships, and purpose
- Rituals born at camp – like walk-and-talks and no-meeting mornings – stuck long after
Final Thoughts
Most retreats last 4 days. This one ran for 6 weeks.
Most venues offer rooms. We delivered a working, breathing microcosm of creativity and connection.
For Ton Fondation, this wasn’t a retreat – it was a strategic accelerator disguised as a summer camp. It worked.
We’re ready for more clients like this – bold, ambitious, remote-first teams who know that culture, trust, and velocity don’t happen by accident. You have to gather to go further – and go faster.

“Maglian absolutely exceeded our expectations for our team off-site. They provided the perfect environment to step away from daily distractions and focus on strategic planning and genuine team connection. Our team accomplished more meaningful work and connection in three days than we typically would in weeks of regular meetings. We returned energized, aligned, and with actionable plans already in motion.
Highly recommended for any team.”
