Thank you for showing up for yourself. To ensure BrainTrust members get maximum return on her investment, here are the Ground Rules.



Vault Member

The Vault™ experience may be for you if your business is on track to generate from $100,000 to $999,999 annually OR if you are currently pre-revenue but actively involved in raising start-up capital.

Vault™ members are placed in a curated group of up to seven (7) peers. By committing to dedicated monthly meetings, members exercise discipline and learn to quickly process issues and opportunities, identify blind spots and pitfalls, develop strategy, and celebrate successes. You’ll meet with your Vault™ for four (4 ) hours a month in a safe, confidential environment.  You’ll learn from the diverse experiences and perspectives of your peers to help you scale more quickly.
