The Moment

Something large is happening to white-collar work.

The first wave of AI displacement is already underway — not in factories, but in the offices of financial services, professional services, media, law and government. Junior analysts, administrators, paralegals, project managers.

These are not workers who lack capability. They have savings, motivation and decades of transferable skill. What they lack is a plausible, dignified, real-world path forward.

Existing options are inadequate: government retraining is functional at best, career coaches operate in the abstract, online courses produce certificates not conviction. Away exists for this moment.

The Solution

Away. A real-world trial
of a different life.

Not a training course. Not a holiday. A carefully designed experience that answers one question: could I genuinely build a life that means something beyond work?

Live

Ground
The Working Stay
3–5 days · From A$1,800

Premium immersive stay on a working property anywhere in the world. Land & soil, food growing, native vegetation. Away's biometric signal engine tracks HRV, sleep, pulse and mood throughout — producing measurable evidence of the physiological shift.

New
II
Newgrounds
Spiritual Renewal
3–7 days · From A$1,800

The interior work that makes the transition permanent. Nine doorways rooted in the world's oldest wisdom traditions — silence, forest bathing, fire ceremony, indigenous land practice, guided therapeutic immersion and more. The biometric data shows Newgrounds produces the strongest recovery numbers in our entire dataset: +68% HRV.

III
Rise
The Deeper Programme
4–8 weeks · From A$8,500

Extended land placements, practitioner mentorship, personal transition framework, land acquisition pathways and career architecture support. Fundable by employers as an outplacement alternative. Eligible for Workforce Australia government support.

03
Market Opportunity

Three addressable markets.
One platform.

White-collar displacement

US$5.5B
Global outplacement market, growing to $8.2B by 2030
  • 300M global jobs exposed to AI displacement (Goldman Sachs)
  • First wave already in offices worldwide: financial services, law, media, government
  • Average displaced professional: 35–52, income $120K+, savings, motivation, decades of skill
  • 0.01% conversion of exposed workforce = 30,000 participants annually

Corporate outplacement

US$3.2B
Global outplacement market · 6.5% CAGR
  • Dominated by legacy players: LHH, RiseSmart, Right Management
  • Heavily criticised: abstract, impersonal, low participant satisfaction
  • ESG pressure driving demand for differentiated, human-centred offerings
  • Away: A$4,500–6,500/head vs $3,000–10,000 abstract alternatives

Agricultural workforce

$1.3B
Federal ag workforce investment 2024–28
  • Structural agricultural workforce shortage across all target markets
  • Median farmer age 56+ globally — generational succession crisis
  • Millions of unfilled agricultural positions worldwide
  • Away creates qualified, motivated land-ready candidates
04
Why Physical Experience

The body knows things
the desk never will.

Career coaching and retraining programmes share a structural weakness: they operate entirely in the abstract. A week working with soil, tools and people who love what they do produces insight no workshop can replicate — not because the work is romantic, but because the contrast is immediately, physically clarifying.

The Away Signal Engine

Biometric intelligence
across the full arc.

Away monitors HRV, sleep quality, resting pulse, calendar density and mood — before, during and after each experience. AI interprets the signal and projects long-term health trajectories. The data compounds with every participant.

The Away Flywheel

The more people try Away,
the more people find Away.

Content + Land + Brand + Biometric data = a 3–5 year moat. Each component reinforces the others.

1
Away builds audience globally
The content platform owns the top of the funnel — pre-qualified readers already asking the question Away answers. Editorial content about land-based lives across 30+ countries.
2
Away offers a first step
A structured, supported, premium working stay. Low risk for the participant — high signal for Away's matching engine and growing proprietary dataset.
3
Experiences create stories
Every stay produces authentic participant and guide content. The editorial flywheel reduces customer acquisition cost over time. Guides share. Participants share.
4
Deeper paths open
Stage 2, employer partnerships, Newgrounds and Workforce Australia pathways follow naturally. That's where unit economics scale — and where the recurring revenue lives.

The Team

Built by people who have
lived the question themselves.

Away, TMPL and Petrichor share a single founding group — operators, designers, builders and land thinkers who have been designing, building and testing these networks for years before opening to the public.

Group company · Physical infrastructure layer
TMPL

TMPL.

Awarded Australian-made
wellness structures.

Away's physical infrastructure problem has already been solved — by the same founder. TMPL designs and manufactures premium modular cabins, saunas and onsens purpose-built for Australia's most demanding environments. Every Away property is fitted with TMPL structures.

This is not a third-party dependency. It is a vertically integrated competitive advantage. When Away scales to 10 sites, TMPL scales with it — producing assets with a 25-year workmanship guarantee, 10-year component warranty, and off-grid capability as standard.

— Modular cabins, saunas, onsens — designed and manufactured in Australia
— ODMA Green Environment Award · ABA100 Winner Tech Innovation · Mumbrella Brand of the Year
— Off-grid capable — solar and rainwater systems standard on every unit
— Relocatable — site configurations can evolve as the Away network grows
— Regenerative materials — salvaged native hardwoods, two trees planted per tree used
— 25-year workmanship guarantee · 10-year component warranty per structure

Why TMPL is a structural moat
Away does not purchase accommodation from external suppliers at market rates. TMPL produces it. This means faster deployment, controlled quality, proprietary specification, and infrastructure that generates long-term asset value — not just operating cost.

Group company · Global land acquisition network
Petrichor

Petrichor.

The land beneath
everything Away stands on.

Petrichor is a property acquisition network systematically onboarding and buying worldwide farming land — structured to give Away permanent, purpose-held access to the land it operates on, rather than depending on third-party property arrangements.

The strategy has been designed, built and tested over two years with friends and family networks. Petrichor recently opened to business customers and has MOUs in place with international partners. The core thesis: agricultural land is becoming the world's most strategic asset class under population, climate and food security pressure — ownership now compounds into permanent advantage.

— Global farming land acquisition — AU, NZ, GB, IE and pipeline markets
— 2+ years network design, build and testing with private partner cohorts
— MOUs in place with international business customers
— Actively onboarding business customers — network is live
— Away properties sit within Petrichor-held land — aligned long-term interest
— Regenerative land stewardship as standard — stewardship = appreciation

"

I'd been in financial services for eighteen years. I thought I needed another course. What I actually needed was a week with my hands in the soil. Away gave me that — and something shifted that no webinar ever could.

Sarah Mitchell · Former Senior Analyst · Now: market gardener, Tuscany
★★★★★

"My company offered this as part of my redundancy. I expected corporate and hollow. I came home with a completely different question in my head."

James Torres
Former Programme Director
★★★★★

"I went as a complete sceptic. I came back changed — not converted to anything, just genuinely changed. Five days of silence did what two years of therapy had not managed."

Priya Anand
Former Data Science Lead
★★★★★

"The HRV data after the stay was the best it had been in years. The land does something that no productivity system has ever achieved for me."

Why Away Wins

Away starts with all five
foundations already in place.

Most operators building programmes like this start with the programme — and have to find the land, brand, audience and network. Away already has all five.

Land secured — Petrichor network
40-acre Fernmount operational. 200-acre expansion under contract. Petrichor holds and acquires land globally — Away operates on owned land, not third-party property. International MOUs active.
Content platform live
Away operates global editorial platforms across 6 markets with a growing, pre-qualified audience — people already asking the question Away answers.
Infrastructure owned — TMPL
TMPL designs and manufactures the award-winning modular wellness cabins, saunas and onsens on every Away property. 25-year workmanship guarantee. Off-grid. Same group. Same founder. Not a vendor — a structural layer.
Brand established
The Nature Fix is premium, trusted and positioned for the exact audience. Not a startup brand that needs to earn trust.
Practitioner network
Active relationships with farmers, foresters and horticulturalists across Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and beyond. A global network of collaborators who believe in the mission.
Biometric technology
The signal engine is built and operating. The data moat compounds with every participant: more signal, better matching, stronger outcomes.
Marty — Founder

Away was built by someone who had the question, couldn't find anywhere to go with it, and decided to build what should have existed.

There is Away.

The future is more wholesome
than the past.

We are not asking you to fund an idea. We are asking you to help open the doors on infrastructure that already exists, for people who already need it.
