There’ve been many studies on high-growth companies and they all say the same thing:
Members of CEO networks are significantly more likely to build large companies.
That’s because, whatever your origins and whatever your business’s size, it’s tough to build something alone – company, brand, product or service. While you’re not necessarily short on pats on the back, it can be hard to stay motivated; to make big decisions; to level up. But when you add the support of founders just like you, your challenges are shared and your opportunities are multiplied.
Easier said than done? Actually, no. At Civitas we see it happen daily.
To become a member of the Civitas CEO network, you must:
Civitas is a private network for high-growth founders. We bring together the top founders and CEOs in each city to connect and learn from each other. Our offering includes a digital community with online mentoring sessions, chat groups, meetups, and access to a CEO playbook - one page solutions to common challenges faced by CEOs.
We also offer an in-person community with regular events, from intimate dinners with high-profile CEOs to unique experiences with fellow founders. You’ll also be part of a monthly CEO forum with a carefully curated group of 7 founders to share learnings, overcome challenges, and build lasting friendships.
Civitas is for founders or CEOs of high-growth businesses. You must be the founder, owner, or person in charge of all operations (CEO or MD). Your business must be generating at least $500k (or R5m million) in annual revenue or have exceptional prior experience*.
Most of our members lead businesses between $500k and $50 million, with teams ranging from 5 to 2000 team members.). We seek growth-focused, generous, collaborative members with a pay-it-forward attitude.
* Exceptional experience means you’ve previously built a $1 million business or held a corporate role managing at least 50 people or overseeing a P&L of at least $10 million. Or raised funding of at least $1 million.
There’s no fixed time commitment. Some members get their value from the digital community, CEO Playbook, and WhatsApp groups, while others attend a few of our 10 to 15 monthly online and in-person events. If you decide to join a CEO forum, you’ll be required to commit to just 2-hours each month.
The application process is simple:
Even if you have a large network, many of our members find value in a structured, peer-learning environment, with facilitated conversations and exposure to new ideas. In addition, our sessions are facilitated to address your specific needs, and you’ll regularly meet new founders at different stages in a time-efficient way.
