SHARING NETCITO
Bringing new members to Netcito benefits the entire community. As we grow, we gain wisdom, expand our professional network, and develop economies of scale that lead to a better member experience. Not only that but the colleagues that you refer benefit from gaining the insight and accountability that comes from being part of a team of allies.
Who is a good fit for Netcito membership?
The easiest rule of thumb is to invite people who you like, respect, and want to know better. To qualify for membership in Netcito, entrepreneurs must be the founder or owner of a business that’s generating material revenue and is a going concern. We particularly value entrepreneurs who embody diversity in terms of their gender, ethnicity, racial background, and lived experience. Here’s more information about Netcito membership criteria.
How can I share Netcito membership with my colleagues?
Our goal is to make it simple and seamless to share Netcito with your friends and colleagues. The easiest approach is to make an introduction. Just connect us and we’ll take it from there. There are several ways you can make this happen:
- Use this easy form. Fill in your email address, edit the text to your liking, and we’ll take care of the rest.
- Email a personal introduction. If you want to make a more personal introduction, feel free to write your own email. Here’s some sample text Dear {name},to help you get started.
I wanted to connect you with the team at Netcito (https://netcito.com), an invitation-only network of peer advisory groups for entrepreneurs. I am currently a member and I think that you could be a great fit for membership as well.
Netcito is like a personal Board of Advisors, made up of entrepreneurs and innovators like us. We take a half day each month for an in-person meeting. Every member shares timely ideas and challenges that they are facing as an entrepreneur, then gets feedback from their circle of peers.
You can learn more about Netcito on their site (www.netcito.com) (check out their video).

What happens after I refer someone?
Within 24 hours of receiving your email (usually much faster), we’ll follow up to schedule a 30-minute introductory call. It’s an opportunity for prospective members to learn more about Netcito and explore a fit with membership. If it looks like a match, we’ll invite them to submit a membership application. After receiving their application, we’ll match them with a group and take them through the nomination and onboarding process.
What if they’re not interested?
Our goal is to help prospective members understand the value that’s available through Netcito and make whatever decision about membership works best for them. Prospective members are almost universally interested in learning more about Netcito and exploring membership. If at any point someone indicates that they’re not interested in membership, we’ll follow their lead on where to go next. When people choose not to apply, they’re usually interested in staying in touch and joining at a future date, so we keep them posted on future events unless they opt out.
What if they don’t qualify for membership?
If you’re unsure about whether a prospective member qualifies for membership, please reach out and we’ll be happy to discuss fit with you. In the rare instances where we get an application from someone who isn’t a good fit for Netcito membership, we’ll let them know that there aren’t any groups currently available that are a good match. We always provide these people with alternative resources and keep them in our database in case we find a group in the future that’s a good fit.
