Building a business doesn’t have to be a lonely road.

As an entrepreneur you're often everything at once: salesperson, bookkeeper, marketer,... And the work that really matters, you barely get to. CEO-Community, short for Chief Everything Officer, is a nod to that reality, and a place to do something about it together.

Your first session is free. If you decide to continue, you'll receive a single invoice of 325 euro excl. VAT after that session for a 6-month membership. It includes 5 sounding board sessions and 1 online training. Every live session includes a welcome drink.

There's a peer session every 6 weeks, each time with a new theme. That's 5 sessions during your 6-month membership. On top of that, you follow 1 online training of 60 minutes on a fixed date, together with members from other groups.

Once during your membership, you take part in a 60-minute online training, live via video on a fixed date. The training is for the whole community, so you follow it together with members from other groups. It focuses on a current entrepreneurship topic, with explanation and practical tools. If you can't make it, you can watch the recording afterwards. It's the only online session: the sounding board sessions themselves always take place in person.

Each group has 5 to 8 people, including newcomers attending their free first session. At most 2 newcomers join per session. If there are more candidates than places, a new group is started.

Yes. Everyone signs a code of conduct before the first session. What is shared stays within the group.

No. Competitors are never placed in the same group, a deliberate choice to guarantee a safe environment.

You can both take part individually, but not in the same group. That keeps every group safe and compact for everyone.

He/she facilitates the conversation and makes sure everyone gets enough space to speak in a safe environment. Where relevant he/she also shares own experience or a different angle.

CEO-Community is for three kinds of entrepreneurs. Starters with a business idea or their first customers. Side-hustlers planning to make the move to full-time. And solo entrepreneurs who have been at it for a while, but still do everything themselves, without staff.

Probably yes. A business idea or your first customers is enough, you don't need revenue or experience. In a short introductory call we look together at whether your situation fits the group and whether there's a group in your region, with no competitors in the same group. Your first session is free and non-binding.

The sounding board sessions are deliberately in person, because stepping out of your business for a moment has more impact than a video call squeezed between 2 other tasks. We start in Limburg, Antwerp and Flemish Brabant, and will expand quickly to the rest of Flanders. Based elsewhere? Just mention it in your application and we'll keep you posted as soon as a group starts in your region.

Your first session is free and without obligation. If you like it, you become a member of the same group for 6 months, invoiced in one go (325 euro excl. VAT). There's a peer session every 6 weeks, 5 in total. Your membership doesn't depend on how often you attend. After your free session you decide at your own pace, at the latest one week before your group's next session.

Yes, with no obligation and no cost. Your first session is free and non-binding, and you only receive an invoice if you become a member. Rather not continue? Just let us know. We'd be glad to hear a short reason, but you don't have to give one. If you were already in the WhatsApp group, you leave it. Do you want to continue? Then you decide at the latest one week before your group's next session.

After 6 months, you decide for yourself whether to continue for another 6-month period. That can be in the same group, or in a new group if that suits you better.
