Mastermind Matching Applications are Now Open!

Hey there,

TL:DR: Mastermind Matching applications for pre-revenue founders (up to $10,000 annual revenue) as well as service business owners who are launching a SaaS business are now open. 

The application is 2-parts, and takes about 10 minutes to complete. First, you’ll be redirected to a payment page, and then you will be automatically redirected to complete your mastermind application. 

👉 Here’s where you can get started.  

Are you in the process of building your proof of concept and validating your idea? 

Or, looking for your first few customers?

And, maybe you already have a successful service business and are daydreaming about the day you can launch the successful SaaS you’ve been thinking about for years? 

Joining a mastermind can add some additional motivation and accountability in the early days.  

With hundreds of successful matches under our belt, we have brought together founders from all walks of life, from over 50 countries across 20 time zones with a collective $150M+ in ARR.

How does it work? 

1. Complete our Mastermind Program Application. It takes about 10 minutes to complete.

2. Application Review, Analysis, and Matching. Over the next few weeks, we will review every application and identify potential matches between groups of founders.  Matches will be made by assessing the following data points: 
 

• Location 

• Time zone 

• Language 

• Experience Level

• Goals 

• Skill Set

• Industry served 

• Entrepreneurial Experience (First Time Founder | Serial Entrepreneur, etc...)

3. Match Announcements. We'll introduce you to your mastermind within 2 weeks of applications closing. 

4. Getting Started. Within the first two weeks of your match announcement, you and the members of your group will: 

- Schedule your first meeting
- Schedule at least 3 months worth of meetings 
- Agree to a mastermind attendance policy 
- Sign a FrienDA Agreement with one another to ensure that your group can be fully open with one another. 

7. Monthly Mentor Sessions. You’ll be invited to attend three 1-hour mentor sessions in the first three months of your mastermind:
 

Session 1: Masterminds 101
February 15, 2023 @ 1:00 PM CST 

Session 2: Closing Your Earliest Sales with Chris Lukenbill, Founder of Sherpa
April 6th, 2023 @ 1:30 PM CST

Session 3: Mastering Customer Interviews with Adam Jack, Founder of Responserack
May 2nd, 2023 @ 1:00 PM CST

While we strongly encourage one to tune into these sessions live, they will be recorded.  

So, how much does it cost? 

We price our Mastermind Program based on your self-reported annual revenue.  

Pre-Revenue - $10K ARR = $250 USD 

Our aim is for buy-in. If you apply, you should be committed to this process.  

Note: In the event you aren’t satisfied with your mastermind, you can email us, and we’ll rematch you with a new mastermind. We honor any mastermind rematch requests for up to 1 year. So, if you submit your mastermind application in January 2023, you can be rematched through January 2024. 

If you quit, are unresponsive, or are otherwise not committed to joining a mastermind, we will keep your money and buy the other members of your group coffee, on you. 

As a result, we will not offer refunds unless we are unable to match you into a group (and we will offer to retry next application period if we cannot).  

Okay, I'm in. 

The application will close on Friday, February 3rd at 11:59pm PST and all matches will be sent out by February 14th. 

First, you’ll be redirected to a payment page, and then you will be automatically redirected to complete your mastermind aapplication.

FAQs 

Q: Is a mastermind right for me? 
Almost any entrepreneur can benefit from joining a mastermind if they have the right mindset. If you are looking to grow your business or extra accountability, we'd encourage you to apply. 

Q: I have 2 or more businesses. Should I still join a pre-revenue mastermind? 
A: If you run an existing service business and are in the early stages of building your first SaaS business as a second business, then sign up for a pre-revenue mastermind. We’ll match you with other founders, who are also building a SaaS alongside another business.  

Q: Do you match non-US-based entrepreneurs? 
Absolutely! To date, we've matched entrepreneurs on every continent except Antarctica and across 20 different time zones. 

Q: My business isn't making any money. Can I join a mastermind for free? 
The mastermind fee is designed to be based on revenue / ARR level. Pre-revenue startup founders pay $250 to join a mastermind. This is designed as a monetary incentive to ensure that all founders are committed to participating in their mastermind. 

Q: What happens if you can’t find a suitable mastermind for me? 
In the unlikely chance, we can’t find a suitable mastermind for you, you can either choose to be added back into the next matching pool or get a full refund.  

Q: I don’t like my mastermind group. Will you rematch me for free? 
Yes! We’ll rematch you with a new mastermind as soon as a suitable fit becomes available. The average waiting time to be rematched is ~4-8 weeks. 

Q: I got matched with a direct competitor. Will you rematch me? 
We go through extensive lengths to make sure we don't pair up direct competitors. However, if something fell through the cracks, just send us an email at support@microconf.com. We'll re-match you as soon as we find a good fit for you.
