Business Club
Create an exclusive business club where entrepreneurs, executives, and investors network, share deal flow, and accelerate business growth.
The Struggle
Business clubs face unique operational challenges:
- High-value members expect premium experience — Entrepreneurs and executives won't tolerate clunky tools, Facebook Groups, or email chains for a club they pay $500+/year to join
- Deal flow is invisible — Members want to do business together but partnerships, referrals, and investment opportunities have no structured channel
- Networking is hit-or-miss — Without smart matching, members attend events hoping to meet the right person but often leave disappointed
- Retention depends on tangible ROI — Business professionals calculate return on every dollar. If they can't point to a deal, connection, or insight gained, they cancel
- Managing tiered access is complex — Different membership levels (associate, full member, VIP) need different permissions, content access, and event pricing
- Administrative overhead — Manual invoicing, event RSVPs via email, and spreadsheet-based member tracking consume staff time
