Vanguard — the founding membership
A room worthy of the operator you've become.
Vanguard is a private membership for established, principled founders — a confidential board of peers who have been where you're going, a community built on a shared code, and the counsel to build what's next.
For founders past the proving stage.
You've built something real. You don't need another networking room full of people selling to each other — you need a small circle of serious operators at your level, who share your values, and who will tell you the truth. That's who's in this room.
Vanguard is for established founders and owners — principled, serious about growth, and generous by default. Membership is by application, because the room is only as good as the people in it.
A community, a board, and an advisory — on one shared code.
A confidential Peer Advisory Board
A small circle of vetted, non-competing founders who meet regularly to hold each other accountable and solve real problems.
A bi-weekly rhythm
Structured meetings, member masterclasses, and the connections that come from showing up with the same people over time.
Flagships & an annual retreat
Quarterly flagships and an annual retreat — the moments that make the year feel like more than meetings.
Advisory access
Six consulting products at member rates, starting with a founding activation designed to set your year.
A curated benefits stack
Member benefits, visibility among peers, and a concierge who makes it all effortless.
The room most founders never get.
At the heart of Vanguard is your Peer Advisory Board — six to eight founders, matched for calibre and mixed by sector, meeting in strict confidence. You bring a real challenge; you get the counsel of people who have faced it. Between sessions, you hold each other accountable.
Bought elsewhere, a board like this runs into tens of thousands a year. Here, it's where your membership begins.
The founding activation
Your first thirty days set your year.
In your first month, a Clarity Sprint maps where your business stands and what to do next — AED 2,500 of advisory, yours for AED 499 as a founding member. It's the paid first step that makes the membership yours from day one.
Priced at a fraction of what it returns.
A confidential peer board alone, bought elsewhere, runs into tens of thousands a year. Add the programming, the advisory access, the curated benefits and the room itself, and Vanguard delivers many times its fee — before you count the one introduction that changes everything.
Forty founding seats. By application.
The founding Vanguard cohort opens 1 October and is capped at forty. Membership is by application and a short conversation — not because we're difficult, but because the value of this room is the people in it, and we protect that above everything.
The founding rate is held for the first forty. After the cohort closes, membership is by waitlist, and the rate rises.
Vanguard is the door that's open.
eHive Circle will grow into further tiers — Horizon and Ascent are opening later, and Zenith is by invitation only. For the founding chapter, Vanguard is where it begins.
