MMT

MMT, founded in 2013 by Jayson Gaignard as MastermindTalks, is an invitation-only entrepreneur community that now operates under the shortened MMT name. It states that more than 20,000 entrepreneurs have applied since inception and that the community is capped at 250 members annually, which it uses to describe itself as one of the most exclusive entrepreneur groups in the world. Unusually for the category, MMT publishes no revenue, industry or company-size test. It states that it curates for who people are rather than what they have built, and its published criteria are dispositional: treating relationships as transformational rather than transactional, measuring success against oneself, and identifying as community-made rather than self-made. Programming mixes an online forum, monthly member catch-ups, full-day remote gatherings every two months, a library of more than eighty recorded sessions, and small strategic-partnership trios that meet every other month, alongside in-person Global Gatherings, mastermind dinners and family trips. A first-year membership includes one live experience, with further gatherings sold as add-ons. The organization does not publish a membership price.

Как это работает

Applicants complete an eight-question application, are reviewed by a curation team, take an exploration call, and are then admitted by cohort; cohorts open four times a year. Members use an online forum, monthly MMT Connect catch-ups, bi-monthly full-day remote gatherings, a recorded session library and MMThree partnership trios, plus in-person Global Gatherings and dinners.

The organization explicitly declines to use revenue, industry or business size as selection criteria, and instead curates for values. It cites member recognitions including Inc. 500 fastest-growing company rankings, a Glassdoor best-CEO listing and an Order of Canada award for philanthropy.

MMT is the outlier in this batch because it refuses the usual screen. Most paid founder communities gate on revenue; MMT gates on values and caps the roster, which makes the application unusually consequential and makes fit harder to self-assess before applying. The published funnel figure - more than 20,000 applications since 2013 against a 250-member cap - is the organization's own and is not audited, but it is at least a specific claim rather than a vague appeal to exclusivity. Two practical caveats. First, price is not published anywhere, and the third-party figures in circulation refer to historic event tickets rather than current membership, so a prospective member cannot budget from public sources. Second, because the first year includes only one live experience, most of the year-one value is digital.
