Rohit Bhargava, the Melbourne-based founder behind Playbook Media and The Startup Playbook Podcast, has built his latest venture around a simple idea: the person leading a company deserves as much structure as the company itself. That venture is The Komo Club, which he describes as the world's first human accelerator.
The Komo Club is a private program and community designed to help founders, operators and leaders improve their health, mindset, relationships and performance. Rohit believes the same systems and frameworks used to scale companies should be applied to the people running them, and he frames The Komo Club as infrastructure rather than executive coaching or a mastermind group. That distinction sits at the centre of how he positions the program.
The reasoning behind it draws on what Rohit has observed across years of working with founders. He says he created The Komo Club because he had too often seen founders neglect their health, energy, clarity and relationships, leading to burnout. It is a problem he knows from the inside: Rohit has been candid about being terrible when it comes to work-life balance, often making excuses to avoid travel or holidays because of work deadlines.
The program runs as a structured eight-week cohort. To support members, The Komo Club has developed a personal operating system called Komo OS and partnered with health company Everlab to give members access to full-body diagnostics. Together, those elements turn the idea of founder wellbeing into something measurable and repeatable rather than aspirational.
The Komo Club builds on a track record that spans founding Playbook Media, hosting The Startup Playbook Podcast and investing through the early-stage syndicate Playbook Ventures. With it, Rohit extends his focus from how companies are built to how the people building them can sustain themselves. It is a practical response to a pattern he has watched play out across the startup world, and an attempt to give founders the operating system their businesses have long taken for granted.
