Looking for help with the most difficult challenges you face as a business owner? You've come to the right place. Membership in the Entrepreneurs' Organization is by invitation only.

To qualify, you must:
  • Be the founder, co-founder, owner or controlling shareholder of a company

  • Hold one of the above titles for a company that grosses more than US$1 million annually

  • For venture-backed companies to qualify for membership they must have privately raised funds of US$2M or publically raised funds of US$5M, and 10 full-time employees. Venture backed companies have three years before they must meet the standard qualification of US$1M in gross annual revenue.

Application Process
  • Prospective members must first apply to their local chapter to ensure they meet the Entrepreneurs' Organization membership criteria.

  • Your chapter will then contact you for an interview and make a decision on your application.

  • If accepted, you will gain access to Forum training and meetings, chapter and Global events, and a wide variety of other exclusive benefits. Within your first three months, you will also receive an orientation from Global staff.

  • During your first few months of joining, you will go through Forum training and be placed in a Forum group.

Costs

Members pay both chapter and Global dues in one annual membership payment. Global dues are currently US$2550 plus a one-time US$3500 initiation fee, and are prorated based on the fiscal quarter you join. Chapter dues generally mirror Global dues, but may be higher or lower.
