"The monthly forums were a refreshing change."
In your monthly forum, founders tell it straight: the wins, the cash crunches, the issues that nearly broke your 3PL. These become the people you text at 11pm.
You get playbooks from founders and operators running the same P&L as you. Skip the expensive mistakes and copy what works.
A great summit fills your notebook. A forum fills your corner. Small rooms, the same faces every month, and a screening process that keeps tire-kickers out.
Once a month, your forum of six vetted founders meets for four hours. Nobody pitches. Nobody performs. You talk about the things you don’t say out loud anywhere else.
What’s said in the forum stays in the forum.
It’s facilitated, not coached. A trained facilitator keeps the room sharp so that the smartest advisors in your life are the founders sitting next to you.
You call the shots.
You're the founder, owner, or CEO. The decisions land on your desk, and so does the weight of them
You're doing $1M+ in revenue.
You've found product-market fit. Now the problems are harder: team, cash, margin, what to scale and what to kill.
You'll give as much as you take.
The best advice comes from the founders next to you. That only works if you share your numbers, your mistakes and your wins.
Council is selective on purpose. Every seat changes the room for everyone in it, so we keep it application-only.
Applying is not buying. It is a short application and then a real conversation with our team, so we can both find out whether the room is right for you and whether you are right for it.
And if it’s not the room for you, tell us within 90 days of your first forum meeting and we’ll refund you in full.
