What Membership Includes

Quality of Access, Not Quantity of Contacts

Membership is built around quality of access, not quantity of contacts. Every member joins the Salt Lake City chapter and the broader Founders Club network, so you're not limited to your own industry or immediate circle.

You might meet a founder who's already navigated your current growth stage, an executive who's built the leadership structure you need, or an investor who sees your situation differently. Introductions are intentional, based on what you're building and where another member's experience fits.

A valuable connection can help you rethink a decision, avoid a costly mistake, or see an issue more clearly. The goal isn't a full calendar. It's better conversations on it.

Who Belongs in Salt Lake City

Who Belongs in the Room

Founders Club is selective by design, built for founders, operators, senior executives, and investors with a meaningful track record. Many members lead companies generating seven, eight, or nine figures in revenue.
Revenue matters, but it's not everything. We look for members who are generous with their experience, open to challenge, and respectful of peer trust. They don't ask what they can get. They ask what they can contribute.
If you want a CEO peer group where people understand the weight of leadership, Founders Club may fit. If you're mainly looking for prospects or a place to pitch, it probably won't.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Founders Club is designed for accomplished leaders who want a smaller, stronger circle around them.          

Salt Lake City brings together a wide range of growth businesses, from technology and finance to healthcare, life sciences, outdoor products, manufacturing, logistics, and professional services.
A local community lets you build relationships with leaders who understand the regional business environment while still gaining outside perspective.
The result is a peer group that feels relevant without becoming narrow.
There is no single industry requirement.
Members may come from technology, SaaS, financial services, healthcare, life sciences, outdoor and consumer products, manufacturing, logistics, real estate, professional services, e-commerce, and other sectors.
What matters more is the level at which someone operates, the experience they bring, and whether they will contribute meaningfully to the group.
Member sessions and gatherings are organized in person across the Salt Lake City area, with specific locations and details shared directly with members.
Virtual opportunities may also be available for founders whose schedules or travel commitments make in-person participation difficult.
Regardless of format, sessions remain focused on real decisions, relevant challenges, and useful peer discussion.
Introductions are curated around relevance.
We consider what you are currently building, the challenges you are facing, and which members may have experience that can help.
You might be introduced to someone who has expanded into another market, hired a senior leadership team, completed an acquisition, raised capital, exited a business, or solved an operating problem similar to yours.
We would rather make one useful introduction than ten random ones.
Founders Club is built for people with demanding schedules.
You are not expected to attend everything. Focus on the sessions, introductions, and experiences most relevant to your current priorities.
The community should create value, not more noise.
Yes.
