Join our curated community for R5M+ founders and CEOs to grow to the next level.
Building a business can feel hard. Growth brings pressure, risk, and complex decisions that books or Google can’t solve. What most founders need isn’t more generic advice, but specific input from people who have done it. Civitas members describe gaining clarity, perspective, and practical support that helps them grow faster, make better decisions, and avoid those risky unknown knowns.
Surround yourself with the low-ego founders in your city to grow your business to the next level.

Civitas members run some of the fastest-growing businesses in their cities and industries. Our model creates meaningful connections and practical learning experiences.






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 R5 million ($250k) in annual revenue. We encourage rare and exceptional founders to apply regardless of revenue.
Our members lead businesses between R5 million ($250k) and R300 million ($15 million), with teams ranging from 5 to 2000 team members. We seek growth-focused, generous, collaborative members with a pay-it-forward attitude.
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 discover the value of a structured, peer-driven learning environment. Through facilitated discussions and fresh ideas, our sessions are tailored to address your unique challenges, uncover blind spots, and provide a consistent space to gain new perspectives.
These incremental shifts compound into significant transformations over time. Plus, members appreciate the opportunity to connect with founders at various stages of growth in a time-efficient and impactful way.

We need a few details from you to ensure we're a fit.
