FAQs
A: The Community is for self-funded founders who want expert help and support in growing and running their companies.
A: Self-funded means you don’t have plans to take professional investor funds. Business loans and partnerships are okay.
A: Once accepted, you will gain immediate access to our private community on Mighty Networks, which will give you access to:
- Future live event dates and Zoom links (think: AMAs and fireside chats)
- Recordings of all past live events
- The video resource library

A: Community members may have an opportunity to purchase additional services before anyone else (i.e. quarterly planning meetings and working sessions with Jill, a seat in the next cohort, etc.), however these services are not included in the membership. Please refer to our Terms & Conditions to learn more.
A: One of the reasons we built this paid community is because experts deserve to get paid for expertise. When we deliver free content, we have to make it generic and include a pitch. It sucks when you show up ready to learn and find yourself in a watered-down group sale, or leave with more unanswered questions.
Your fees in part compensate our experts for the investments they’ve made in the skills and knowledge that let them directly and efficiently provide you with learning and advice.
