Membership Criteria
Every seat checks every box
- Accomplished in your own field — a track record, not a title
- Forward-thinking, and building something now
- Genuinely interested in creating value for the people sitting next to you
Not an industry, a revenue figure, or a job title. The room is deliberately cross-disciplinary — entrepreneurs, investors, developers, executives, athletes, creatives — and the main thing everyone has in common is a desire to create value, win, and give back to others.
If you have built something you are proud of and you want the people around the table to be better for you being there, that is the test of joining the Winner’s Circle.
If that is not where you are right now, this is not the room yet. Fit decides everything here, and it is not a judgement on the person.
The principle
Money follows the invitation. It never produces one.
Yes, a dinner seat is paid for. Yes, membership has a price. Neither one gets you into the room.
The nomination or the selection comes first — always. The fee only exists once someone is already right for the table.
That order is the entire safeguard. The moment revenue depends on filling seats, the standard starts moving to meet the number. So the room gets built first and proved worth an evening, and the money funds better rooms rather than deciding who is in them.
Circle FAQ
- 01
Can I apply?
Yes — but there is no form to submit and wait on, and no waiting list. Most seats are filled by nomination from someone already at the table. You can put your own name forward, and people do; it is simply harder, because the case has to be made without anyone at the table making it for you.
- 02
What does it cost?
Membership is priced, and the figure is shared on request rather than published. A dinner seat is paid for once you have been nominated or selected for that evening — the payment follows the invitation and cannot stand in for one.
- 03
Does membership expire?
Portal access does not. Dinner invitations are per-evening and depend on the room being right for that subject, not on anyone’s standing.
- 04
Can I bring someone?
Eventually, yes — and the guest is nominated the same way anyone else is. Bringing someone is a statement about them, which is why it is limited.
- 05
What gets a seat taken away?
A unanimous member vote, for a violation of Circle policies.
The membership test.
Everything comes back to three things: contribution, alignment, and growth. Everything else is administration.
