Is this table
for you?


Read this page before you apply so neither of us is surprised. The table is for driven, ambitious people who bring vulnerability, transparency, accountability, and integrity, and who can show real results.

The Standard

What every seat requires.

Assess yourself honestly against all four.

Vulnerability

Show up honest about the wins and the losses.

Transparency

What's shared here stays real, not curated.

Accountability

Say it, then do it. Let the table check you.

Integrity

The same person in the room and out of it.

Skill areas

Bring a skill you can prove.

Select only areas where you have real experience and can show results.

Strategic thinkers are welcome. Skill in golf, chess, or similar pursuits counts.

Screening

What we look for.

Proof of results

Real deals, real numbers, or businesses built or grown. Aspirations alone don't qualify.

Annual income

Choose a bracket: $100K–$200K, $200K–$300K, or $300K+. Tell us the source: business ownership, employment, a combination, or another legitimate source.

Affiliations

Fraternities, sororities, alumni networks, and professional organizations that reflect your network.

Strategic thinking

Chess, golf, poker, and similar pursuits are a plus. We value people who plan several moves ahead.

Fit & availability

Confirm you're a high-energy self-starter, pick a meeting cadence (bi-weekly or monthly), and choose in person, virtual, or both.

How it runs

The details.

Cadence

Bi-weekly or monthly, set with the founding cohort. In person across the DMV, with a virtual option.

Timeline

The founding cohort kicks off November 1, 2026, with a couple of holiday-friendly meetings before year-end. Full rhythm begins January 2027.

Size

Ten founding seats, small by design. Seats are filled on a rolling basis, with room to grow to 20+.

Cost

No membership fee for the founding cohort. Future dues will be voted on by members. Shared costs like a branding photoshoot and cohort swag are still being set.
