Membership
Membership, plainly explained.
What you get, what it costs, and what the first 30 days look like.
A personal board of advisors.
A founder perks platform.
Capital access for your organization.
Two capital tracks at The Venture Summit, Catalytic and Growth, matched to how your organization is funded. Small rooms, warm introductions, real commitments.
The first 30 days
Day 1
You’re in. Your Launchbook access code goes live, your portfolio starts redeeming perks, your profile joins the member directory, and your org enters the funder book.
Week 1
A 30-minute onboarding call. We walk the platform together and set your forum preference.
Week 2
You’re live in the Venture Operator Circle, the room where members compare notes all year. Worth Knowing tells you what’s happening. This is where you talk about it.
Weeks 3 and 4
You’re matched to a forum of 5 to 8 peers at a similar stage. Your first session is on the calendar, and you choose which events matter to you this year.
THE GVN SUMMIT, DEVIL’S THUMB RANCH, COLORADO
THE ROOMS
A room for every seat in your organization.
Forum groups run at three levels of leadership, matched by role, model, stage, and time zone. A program manager’s true peers are other program managers, not their boss. So every level gets its own room.
Accelerator CEOs
The flagship rooms. The people leading accelerator programs, grouped by stage and region.
Studio founders and leaders
The people building companies for a living, in rooms with peers who run the same model.
Hub and ecosystem executives
Directors of innovation hubs and incubators, from city programs to national ones.
University innovation leaders
The people running venture programs inside major universities.
Program directors and managers
The operators who run programs day to day, in rooms of their true peers.
Emerging leaders
The next generation of venture leadership, in regional rooms across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia.

WHAT THIS REPLACES
PEER Advisory Groups ELSEWHERE
$8,500+ a year
PERKS PLATFORM ELSEWHERE
$12,000+ a year
FUNDER INTRODUCTIONS ELSEWHERE
$8,000+ each event
All three are inside one membership, from $3,500 a year.
Every membership carries a 45-day guarantee: if the network isn’t what we said it was, annual members get the year refunded and monthly members owe nothing further, provided you showed up for your onboarding call and first Forum session. Your first matched funder meeting ends the window early. Monthly plans auto-charge a card on file against a 12-month agreement; a failed charge pauses access while your Forum seat holds for 30 days. In-person seats and tickets are paid in full and non-refundable within 30 days of the event.
Not ready for membership? Anyone can listen in to the fall capital sessions free.
