Membership

The people between the nights.

Membership is for the owners who want what happens between nights: every night free, the member directory, introductions when you ask, and mentor matching. Nights are $15 to $20 for everyone else, so $50 pays for itself by the fourth night. Operator Notes stays free either way.

$50 a year through Dec 31, then $100 from Jan 1.

After you pay, we email your community sign-in within a day.

What you get, counted.

Every OWN night, free.

Non-members pay $15 to $20 a night. From 2027, more of the Indianapolis-area nights will be for members. A member may bring one first-time guest free, as long as the guest runs a business.

Introductions you ask for.

Tell us who you want to meet. We ask them first. If you both say yes, we start the conversation.

Mentor matching.

An owner who has been through it and a newer owner meet once a month for three months, over coffee or a call. We make the intro. Mentors don’t sell.

The member directory.

Who each member is, what they do, what they’re looking for and what they can help with. Only members see it, it’s never shared, and you can message anyone directly.

Ask the Room.

Post what you’re stuck on. Other owners weigh in.

The app on your phone.

The community runs in the beehiiv app, so the directory and Ask the Room are in your pocket.

Operator Notes stays free.

For everyone, members or not, every other Tuesday.

Professionals

Advisors, lenders and others who work with owners.

Join as a Professional: $400 a year, one per firm. Same nights, a profile in the directory, and introductions when an owner asks for you. Professionals don’t pitch members, and they never get the member list.
