Membership

Membership, plainly explained.

What you get, what it costs, and what the first 30 days look like.

A personal board of advisors.

Five to eight leaders who run organizations like yours, meeting every month under strict confidentiality. They see your real numbers and you see theirs. When the decision is too big to make alone, your Forum is the room you bring it to.

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.

A founder perks platform.

Every founder you accept gets over $1.7M in curated perks through Launchbook from day one. They redeem on your perks site, and the network keeps the catalog current, so the value keeps showing up without you managing it.

Live on day one for your whole portfolio. Over $1.7M in curated perks per founder, 129 Partner Perks, already used by 35,000+ founders.

Capital access for your organization.

Hear directly from funders during live virtual Funder Talks. After each talk, GVN arranges matched funder meetings for Principal and Keystone members, with a one-page brief before every meeting and the introduction made for you. In-person Venture Summits bring catalytic capital members and funders together in Washington, D.C. in April, and growth capital members and funders in Miami in May.

The first 30 days

Day 1

You’re in. Your Launchbook access code goes live, your portfolio starts redeeming perks, and your profile joins the member directory.

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 ROOMS

A room for every seat in your organization.

Forum groups are 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.
