Question 1

What is the application and onboarding process step-by-step?

Accepted Answer

The application process has three simple steps that can be completed in under 30 minutes total: a 5 minute application, 10 minute pre-interview questionnaire, and 15 minute video call with a community manager. Once approved, members are set up on the platform and matched to a forum group. A dedicated peer mentor helps onboard.

Question 2

How much time per month is required for participation?

Accepted Answer

We recommend members spend 2-3 hours per month minimum in order to get full value. This includes the monthly forum meeting, engaging in the online community, and optional local events. Members find the more they participate, the more value they gain.

Question 3

Is there flexibility to step away for periods if needed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can pause membership for up to 3 months per year with advanced notice if life gets busy. Members can catch up on content during the break and rejoin when ready.

Question 4

How much travel is required for retreats and events?

Accepted Answer

Members are expected to attend at least 1 retreat per year. Retreats are typically 3-5 days including travel time depending on location. Outside of retreats, members can engage virtually if not located near events.

Member retreats are optional and available for an additional fee depending on the location.

Question 6

Can I talk to existing members about their experience?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we facilitate calls between prospective and current members to ask questions and hear firsthand experiences. Our members are happy to share openly.

Question 7

Will the membership fee be worthwhile for my growth stage?

Accepted Answer

Our membership is designed specifically for early to mid-stage founders doing at least $1M+ in revenue. This high-growth period is where our community adds the most value around scaling hurdles. The fee pays back exponentially in growth. We factor in growth stage when forming the forum groups. The average revenue size for members is 6 million and the largest companies are north of 9 figures.
