What stage of business should I be in to invest in a membership?
It's never too early or too late to invest in yourself and your business while investing in other founders. Whether your business is in ideation (pre-launch) or your business is well established, accessing our network of experienced mentors and 500+ like minded members across the country will give any founder an opportunity to increase their network and level up.
How much time do I need to commit?
2-3 hours a week.
Supplementary programming (business foundation topics like marketing, finance, legal and operations) run for one hour each week on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays depending on your growth stage, with supplementary programming (leadership, diversity & inclusion, social impact, pitching...etc.) happening each Monday for all growth stages.
We will also be hosting monthly panels and virtual events.
