About

What The Superior Circle is.

The Superior Circle is a private, invitation-only membership for accomplished business owners, founders and investors around the world. There is no fee to request an invitation and no fee for core membership. Admission cannot be bought.

In brief

• What it is: a private peer circle. Members meet one another through a members-only platform, small private dinners, city chapters and a yearly gathering.
• Who it is for: people who have built something substantial: a company, significant personal wealth, or exceptional achievement in their field. Character is required of everyone. Who it is for.
• Where: worldwide. Membership is global, and city chapters open wherever enough members gather. Until a chapter opens near you, you belong as a Global Member.
• Cost: no fee to request, no fee for core membership. Some dinners and gatherings are offered at cost.
• How to join: request an invitation or be nominated by a member. Every request is read by a person, followed by a discreet review, a short private conversation and a decision by a small admissions council. How invitations work.
• Language: English, for now.
• Operated by: The Superior Circle LLC. Contact: [email protected].

A circle, not a club

There is no lounge to sell, no stage and no pitch. The value of the Circle is the people in it and the trust they extend to one another. Introductions are made by hand, only with both sides’ consent, and what is said inside stays inside.

What membership holds

• A private member platform and directory, visible only to members. Never public, never indexed.
• Considered introductions to people members would like to know.
• Private dinners of a dozen or fewer, under the Chatham House rule.
• City chapters as members gather, and a yearly gathering of the full Circle.
• A voice in who joins next: members may nominate a small number of people each quarter.
• Those admitted in the founding circle carry the Founding Member distinction.

The Code

Every member signs five rules: discretion, no solicitation, no images without consent, nominations are personal, and answerability. Members do not pitch members; relationships come first.

Why it is free

Because the one thing the Circle refuses to sell is admission. Free entry makes the standard more important, not less. There is no paid route in and no way to skip the review.

Discretion

The Circle does not publish member names, counts or testimonials, and it does not belong to a personality. It was founded by an entrepreneur who prefers to remain private. See our Privacy Policy for how request information is handled.
