The job
You spend your days backing everyone else.
No one sits where you sit.
You make high-stakes calls for founders, funders, and your team. Almost no one around you has held the same seat.
Founders expect real value.
Tools, credits, savings. Operators negotiate each deal alone, then spend real staff time managing every perk and partner.
Your organization needs capital too.
Accelerators, studios, and hubs need funding for operations and growth. Few funders understand the model.
Every benchmark is a guess.
Follow-on rates, equity terms, staff ratios, cohort pricing. There is no public data, so key decisions get made blind.
What membership is
Three things, done seriously.
The Forum.
Your own personal board of advisors: a confidential group of 5 to 8 true peers, matched by model, stage, and geography. Twelve months together, meeting monthly with a structured agenda. It is the room where members share real numbers and real problems, and it is the product they stay for. Rooms run at every level of leadership, from CEO to program manager.
5 to 8 peers · 12 months · 2.5 hrs/month
COMMITTED · CANDID · CONFIDENTIAL
One seat is yours.

Capital access.
Through The Venture Summit, we put 20 to 30 serious funders in a room with our operators. Family offices, corporate venture arms, DFIs, and foundations that back accelerators, studios, and hubs directly. Small rooms. Warm introductions. Real commitments.

FOR CLARITY
What GVN is not.
GVN is for the people who run accelerators, studios, and hubs. Not the startups inside them.
Funders in our rooms are vetted, and nobody buys access to our members. Ever.
The value here is the people and the data, not a queue of videos you will never open.
Membership is reviewed. That is what keeps the room worth being in.
Network intelligence
Stop guessing. Start benchmarking.
Monthly Ecosystem Pulse
Five questions each month, answered across the network and published back to every member.
Annual Benchmark Report
The only dataset comparing operating metrics across 300+ ecosystem builders worldwide: staff ratios, cohort fees, follow-on rates, mentor compensation, demo day outcomes.

MEMBER VOICES
“I wouldn’t be where I am today, or as connected as I am, without GVN.”
“Your team brings the Network’s culture to these events in so many ways and fosters such a genuine atmosphere of engagement, reflection, vulnerability and of course fun.”
Zaki Raheem, Director, DAI
“Every part of this was a learning experience: the people were all fountains of knowledge and passion, and even the structure itself was an example of how to run effective workshops at our programs. Plus, it was just really fun.”
