How membership works.

Membership is by application or invitation. We ask about you, your company and who you need. A person reads every answer.

Use the address at your company's domain. We do not accept personal addresses such as Gmail or Outlook. If a member invited you, add their invitation code.

We confirm your business email and your WhatsApp number with a short code. Then we check the details of your business: that your address matches your company website, that the company is registered where a public registry exists, and that you run it.

We check business details only. Never credit or criminal records.

A person reads your application and decides. We write to you with our answer. If you are accepted, we ask a few more questions, so we can place you well.

You are placed in a small circle chosen around what you are looking for. We use what you tell us about your company, your stage and who you need.

Software suggests a placement and explains its reasoning. A person on our team reviews every suggestion before anyone is placed. You see your own circle. Nobody else.

Your circle meets every month, online and in person.

Between meetings, your circle talks in its own WhatsApp group. We never read or store those conversations. If you connect a calendar, we see only when you are free or busy.

From time to time we introduce you to someone we believe you should meet, and tell you why. Dan the Man drafts each introduction from what you have told us. A person on our team approves it before you see it.

• Every introduction carries its reason.
• Both of you say yes before anyone is connected.
• If either of you says not now, nothing is shared.

Standing is earned one way: by what you give to other members. Showing up, hosting, a useful answer, an introduction that mattered. Revenue never counts. Payment never counts.
