Agency Operators Guild

$500k – $10M ARR. Owners only — not freelancers, not employees, not aspiring agency-folk. We talk to every applicant before approving membership.

Single-topic 90-minute closed sessions: 'firing your worst client', 'moving from project to retainer', 'hiring a head of delivery', 'building a sellable agency.' Confidential, off-record.

Retainer pricing models, productized service rollouts, ops dashboards, project briefs, kickoff decks — contributed by members from respected boutique agencies. Use, fork, contribute back.

Members refer vetted operators (delivery leads, account directors, ops chiefs) to each other privately. Most senior agency hires happen through this network, not LinkedIn.

Submit your numbers — gross margin, billable utilization, revenue per FTE, churn, AOV — and get a real-stage benchmark report against peer agencies. No more flying blind.

For owners considering selling. Walk through valuation models, deal structures, due-diligence prep, and earnouts with members and advisors who've actually closed. Quiet, serious.

The part nobody talks about. Burnout, partner conflict, identity post-exit, what to do when the agency stops being fun. A private channel for the conversations you can't have with your team.
