How much does membership cost?
Membership runs approximately $65/week between dues and meeting fees, totaling roughly $3,000+ per year. That includes weekly ROUNDtable access, member platform access, the private LinkedIn group, and invitations to all Eliances events. Compare that to EO ($15K+/year), Vistage ($15K-$20K/year), or YPO ($20K+/year). Fees may be deductible as a business expense.
Can I attend as a guest before committing?
Yes. We encourage you to attend as a guest first to experience the ROUNDtable format and meet the community. Guest requests must be submitted by Wednesday for the following Tuesday's meeting. This is how most members started.
What is the 3G Methodology?
Every member gets 60 seconds to share three things: what they have Got (their business, expertise, or opportunity), what they can Give (how they can help others in the room), and what they need to Get (the specific connection, resource, or introduction they are looking for). This format forces clarity, eliminates small talk, and creates immediate matchmaking opportunities.
Who is typically in the room?
Our community consists of CEOs, founders, inventors, investors, professional athletes, politicians, attorneys, wealth managers, and mentors. Members range from early-stage startups to executives running $50M+ companies. Past attendees and members include Inc 5000/500 CEOs, the co-founder of Oculus, the former President of Burger King, a former U.S. Congressman, and the CEO of Ziglar Inc.
How is this different from BNI, EO, or Vistage?
BNI is referral-based and transactional. EO and Vistage are expensive ($15K+/year) with monthly meetings and strict revenue requirements. Eliances meets weekly, costs roughly $3K/year, has no revenue floor, and brings a broader mix of entrepreneurs, investors, and public figures into the same room. Most importantly, our format is built for deal-making, not presentations.
What if I am just getting started as an entrepreneur?
We welcome members at every stage. Some of our most impactful connections have been between established operators and early-stage founders. If you are still in the planning or incubator phase, this is exactly the room you want to be in to fast-track your success through mentorship and direct access to experienced entrepreneurs.
How do I get featured on the Heroes podcast?
Members can apply for a feature on the Eliances Heroes show, distributed on iHeart Radio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Money Radio. David Cogan personally hosts every interview. Past guests include Sir Richard Branson, Grant Cardone, Bob Parsons (GoDaddy), and hundreds more. Production packages are available for members who want professional-quality exposure.
Where and when do meetings happen?
Weekly ROUNDtable meetings take place every Tuesday morning at MAC6 Coworking Space in Tempe, AZ (1430 W. Broadway Road, Ste. 201, Mesa, AZ 85282). Doors open at 8:00 AM, and the event starts at 8:30 AM. A hybrid virtual option is also available.
