The Chartered seat

Guests come for the evening. Members come for the year.

Six evenings a year, you sit down with owners, operators, capital and advisors. The Gatherings are the social side of the club. Membership is the business side. You get the hour before the doors, and introductions the host makes himself.

Nine hundred dollars a year.

Fifty Chartered seats, numbered. The rate holds for as long as you hold one, and the Chartered rate closes with the fiftieth.

Every Chartered seat is chosen, not bought.

Stay for the year, and the big calls stop being yours alone.

The Hour Before

Five o’clock, before the doors open. The room belongs to members, and what’s said there stays there.

Introductions

Made by the host, by name, with the reason, after reading what you’re building. Most happen in the room. You never have to work it.

Three guests

Up to three on your name at every Gathering. Bring a partner, a key hire, or a client.

Member sessions

Through the year, including the January workshop.

The recap

A written recap after every Gathering, so a missed night isn’t a lost one.

The Charter Roll

Your name and seat number on the Roll, and a chair kept for you at every Gathering.

How a seat is chosen

1
Come to an evening.
November 18 at The Bond. You come as our guest, and by nine you’ll know if it’s your room.
2
Answer seven questions.
About five minutes. They ask what you run, where revenue is, and what you’re after this year. The host reads every answer before you talk.
3
Talk with the host.
Twenty to thirty minutes with Nik Shehaj, the host. Bring the truth, not a pitch. Not every conversation ends in a seat.

Membership, plainly

Renewal: Your year runs from the day you pay and renews on that date. The club reminds you thirty-one days before every renewal.
Leaving: One email, any time before your renewal date. Your seat ends with your paid year.
Your details: The club never gives a member or guest list to a firm, a speaker, or anyone outside the club. Your name goes to a firm from us only when you ask.
