If you're building something that matters, you shouldn't build it alone.
EO Minnesota is a peer community for founders who are past the idea stage and into the hard, real work of growing a company. See where you fit, then start with a conversation.
Two paths. Pick the one that matches your stage.
The honest answer is usually obvious once you see the revenue line. Both lead to the same community.
EO
- Majority owner, founder, or co-founder of the business
- Company is past product-market fit and scaling
- Confidential Forum with seasoned founders
- Global events and leadership programs
EO Accelerator
- Owner or co-founder, full-time on the business
- Ready for structure, accountability, and coaching
- Execution-focused curriculum and playbooks
- A direct on-ramp to EO when you cross $1M
Not a networking group. A room you actually grow in.
Owners only
Every person in the room runs a company. No consultants pitching, no service providers prospecting. Just founders who carry the same weight you do.
Confidential Forum
Eight founders, one room, once a month, under strict confidentiality. You talk about what you cannot say anywhere else, and you leave with experience, not advice.
Built to scale
Workshops, learning events, and a global network of 19,500+ members. The resources match the stage you are actually in, and they grow with you.
From first hello to your Forum seat, in about six weeks.
No pressure, no surprise contract. Each step is a conversation, and you can stop at any point.

How much time does it really take?
Plan on one Forum meeting a month, usually half a day, plus the learning events you choose to attend. Most members say it is the half day that pays for the rest of the month.
What does it cost?
Membership has an annual fee that varies by path. We will walk you through the exact numbers in your intro conversation, before any application. There are no surprises.
Do partners or vendors get access to members?
No. EO is owners only. Service providers and partners support the chapter through the Strategic Alliance Partner program, which never turns into a sales channel inside Forum.
How often does Forum meet, and can I visit first?
Forum meets monthly. Before you join, you can visit an event and meet members one to one, so you understand the rhythm before you commit.
What if my revenue is right at the threshold?
If you are near $250K or near $1M, take the Fit Quiz and let us talk it through. The revenue line is a guide, not a wall, and EO Accelerator exists for exactly this stage.

If we are a match, the next step is a conversation, not a contract. Find out where you fit in less time than it takes to read this page.
