The room

Who is in the room

We do not ask what you are worth. We ask what the technology is actually doing.

Every peer network gates on capital or title. That measures what someone already has, and says nothing about whether the room will be any good. The bar here is the work.

The dues

What the thousand funds

$1,000per month

It does not buy priority on client work, and it does not buy our delivery capacity. It funds the research, the tools and the purpose work we take on with no client attached, and it includes our counsel.

The charter

Eight articles

Members cite them by number.

  1. 01A monthly closed-door session with the team and the other members.
  2. 02First access to what we build: tools, agents, internal systems.
  3. 03A direct line to the team. No account layer in between.
  4. 04Two technical reviews a year, on anything you are building.
  5. 05Introductions inside the room, when they are genuinely right.
  6. 06Your problems become our research agenda.
  7. 07A say in which purpose work the club funds next.
  8. 08No contract and no notice period. The seat does not wait: leave, and it goes to someone else.

Clients and members

Clients and members are two different rooms, and neither one is the price of entry to the other.

Being a client does not confer membership. Being a member does not confer priority, status or a discount on client work.

The cap

Membership is capped

We would rather the room stayed small.

The gate

How you get in

There is no application. A member, or someone we have worked with, puts your name forward. We ask them.

A member, or someone we have worked with. We will ask them.

This is the qualifying question. Not what it is called, but what it does.

There is no waitlist. If we cannot place you, we will say so.
