What really matters is the people you are bringing together in a monthly basis: the conversations and values they will share to build a thriving community of entrepreneurs in your city.
Once your application is approved and accepted we will set up a one hour call to go through all of the basics needed to run your first and many other events afterwards. We will give give you access to resources and templates that will help you conduct the very best interviews with the best speakers, lock down helpful sponsors, and most importantly communicate with a global team of other directors just like you.
It’s worth saying that the main reason why people get involved in running a Chapter, is not getting rich out of it. The big value will come to you in the networking and relationships you’ll build. Most importanlty the impact you’ll have in your local ecosystem. Don’t forget the golden rule “Your Network is Your Net worth”
