Community
The community
One high-trust network of software leaders working on the same problem: durable revenue beyond subscription. Candid benchmark-sharing, operator calls, teardown sessions, and demo days with vetted vendors — no selling, no spam.
Apply to joinIt's one room. Cohort tracks exist so conversations happen with true peers:
What members get
Benchmark-sharing you can't get publicly — real attach rates, take rates, and vendor terms.
Operator calls and teardowns with people one step ahead of you.
Demo days with vetted embedded-finance vendors, clearly labeled, never influencing editorial.
Early access to Charge Forward research.
Who should apply
Founders, CEOs, and payments/fintech leaders at software companies that have launched embedded finance or are seriously evaluating it — people with real numbers to compare and real decisions in front of them.
Who it's not for
Vendors and providers (demo days run through the partner program), consultants and agencies prospecting for clients, and anyone joining to sell. Applications are reviewed to keep the room operators-only.
A typical month
A live benchmark thread where members compare real numbers, an operator call or teardown session, and — when there's something genuinely worth seeing — a clearly-labeled vendor demo day. Between those: a room where you can ask the question you can't ask publicly.
Pricing
Membership pricing is shared after your application is reviewed — it depends on the track and what's right for the room, not on ability to pay for access to editorial (there is none).
