Guidelines to ensure a valuable experience for all Guild members
Guild events feature some of the best and brightest in our industry. We ask that everyone who joins keeps their camera on, and actively participates in the session.
We don’t allow any pitching in the forums unless it’s in direct response to a fellow member asking about the challenge you or your company is solving.
The focus of Guilds is on tactical, company-building lessons and discussions, so we ask members not to share open roles or candidates which could quickly dilute the community.
Chatham House Rules apply to all Guild sessions and forums as we want members to feel comfortable asking questions and sharing opinions with each other.




























































Masterclasses that drive impact
Private events featuring world-class executives dive into specific critical company-building topics, and answer critical questions.

Access our Private Guilds Portal
Our Guilds portal gives you access to years of event recordings, bespoke playbooks, top vendors recommended by Guild members, and much more.
It is a one-stop shop for company-building insights that have been obsessively curated and optimized for executives building generational technology businesses.

Our rigorous operating principles for a best-in-class community
Our Guilds have been specifically and strategically designed to deliver maximum value to members in a manner that seamlessly integrates into existing workflows.
We care about the right members, not the number of members. Every addition to Guilds is personally vetted by the FirstMark team and must meet highly specific criteria.
Chatham House Rules apply to all Guild sessions as we prefer to focus on what you won’t hear publicly, so that we can instead give you powerful insights from behind-the-scenes.
Guilds are built to provide real, tangible value, which is why we focus on playbooks, templates, masterclasses, and off-the-record teardowns. Whether you're attending an event or asking a question in the forum, you'll get highly specific, tactical information you can use.
