One seat per industry

To keep the network supportive and non-competitive, we operate a one seat per industry model. Seats exist for fair representation - not exclusivity.

Apply to join

What it means

Only one active member per core trade/industry category
Seats are linked to active membership (not permanent ownership)
This prevents internal competition and keeps the vibe relaxed

If there’s more than one applicant

We review against published criteria: independence, local presence, and fit
If a seat is full, you can join a waiting list for that category
Seats can be reviewed periodically to ensure fairness and activity

If you’re unsure which industry seat you fit into, apply anyway - we’ll help place you in the most suitable category.

No referral targets. No pressure. No obligation to sell or bring leads.
