Membership
Membership, plainly explained.
What you get, what it costs, and what the first 30 days look like.
The Forum.
A confidential group of 5 to 8 true peers, matched by model, stage, and geography. Twelve months together, meeting monthly with a structured agenda.
Launchbook.
Capital access.
Through The Venture Summit, 20 to 30 serious funders in a room with our operators. 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, 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 member chat, asking peers real questions and getting real answers.
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.
