Being a CEO is Hard.
We Get It…We’ve Been There
-
It’s Lonely at the Top
Many CEOs lack peers who understand their unique challenges. Our CEO Circles will provide you with an exclusive community of high-achieving executives for support, connection, and inspiration to reduce the loneliness of leadership.
-
You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know
CEOs don’t often get the honest feedback they need to grow. Our CEO Circles will expose you to new strategies and ideas, sparking innovation and providing you the feedback you need to become the leader you want to be.
-
There are No Easy Answers
Every business is unique, and generic advice often fails to address your specific demands. Our CEO Circles provide tailored coaching sessions and targeted discussions that address each leader's unique business stage and challenges.
-
The Struggle is Real
Growing a business is hard and can lead to burnout. Our CEO Circles include mindfulness events and peer support to help you manage stress, balance your responsibilities, and maintain your well-being.
You Deserve More Support
Level Up with the Most Seasoned Coaches in the Industry
Leading a global company comes with immense responsibility. From managing the expectations of stakeholders to scaling your operations while maintaining culture, the role of a CEO requires more than just expertise—it demands clarity, resilience, and the right support.
Who you have in your corner can make all the difference in how you choose to lead. What we learn from our peers can shape the organization we create. Velocity CEO Circles offer a unique opportunity to experience executive group coaching led by a seasoned Founder coach alongside fellow accomplished CEOs—at a fraction of the cost. These are the same top-tier coaches who use our proven frameworks to support many of the most successful companies of our time.
Our coaches are masters in their field—experienced former operators who’ve walked the path. Each brings agility to support your unique journey, blending strategic insight with empathy for the distinct needs of every leader and their business. Simply put, we meet you where you are and guide you to where you want to go.

CEO Circles is a private, highly-vetted membership community for accomplished CEOs seeking meaningful, lasting growth.
Velocity CEO Circles leverage the power of community to unpack key blockers, celebrate wins, and hold each other accountable. To ensure optimal growth and synergy, all participants are carefully screened for compatibility before being accepted into this 12-month program.
Company Requirements
Post-Revenue - Having $5m+ ARR lets us know you’re serious about building a sustainable business.
Building a Team - We ask that you have 10+ Employees so we know you are dealing with scaling challenges, not product-market fit challenges.
Post Product-Market Fit - Again, we want to make sure you are in company-building mode, not Lean Startup mode.
Mindset Requirements
Have a Big Vision - We work with high-achieving CEOs who are looking to make a dent in the universe by solving big, juicy problems.
Willing to Embrace the Suck - CEO Circle members aren’t afraid to receive direct feedback and have difficult conversations if it means growing their leadership to scale their company.
Radical Personal Responsibility - Our members don’t blame others. They take radical personal responsibility and are dedicated to improving their own ability to problem solve, make decisions, and manage conflict with efficiency and ease.
Community Minded - Circle members believe in the value of supportive networks and recognize that giving and receiving guidance is vital for expanding our collective perspectives as high-performing leaders.

Monthly Circle Meeting
Each circle meets virtually for one coach-facilitated 90-minute group session per month. The curriculum and topics are tailored to each circle and arise directly from the immediate needs of the cohort. Founders are encouraged to actively participate by sharing their experiences and holding one another accountable to support lasting change.
Online Community Platform
All participants have 24/7 access to our online founder community, which includes a dedicated space for clients to interact with their cohort peers and coach via direct messages, posts, and videos. Clients can also browse and share timely articles and coaching resources from our comprehensive resource library.
Community Events
Special invite to our bi-monthly community mindfulness events and monthly live recordings of our CEO Series podcast where you'll be able to ask top CEOs in the industry questions about culture, operations, leadership, and more.
Optional 1:1 Coaching
For maximum impact, we recommend adding one monthly 1:1 coaching session for additional accountability from your coach. Coupled with the group session, this add-on creates space for deeper integration, development, and tailored assistance.
Optional 360 Leadership Assessment
Upgrade your membership with an optional 360 Leadership Assessment designed to source valuable insights about your unsung strengths and blindspots. Choose between an online-only survey or a more comprehensive assessment that includes the survey as well as in-depth interviews. Upon completion, you’ll have a 60-90 minute one-on-one debrief session with your coach to review the results and discuss next steps.
