Pavilion

Pavilion is a paid private community and peer-advisory body for go-to-market leaders, founded as Revenue Collective in New York and renamed Pavilion in June 2021. Membership is sold in published tiers priced by seniority and region, with two open tiers - Associate for managers and directors and Executive for vice-presidents and above - and two invitation-only tiers, Scale and Gold, that add facilitated small-group work. A separate CEO Pavilion tier serves chief executives of B2B technology companies with US$5 million to US$500 million in annual recurring revenue. Members get a Slack-based community, an education arm called Pavilion University, and local chapters in more than 45 cities, each run by a vetted operator. The organization reports 707 curated events a year and runs an annual conference in New York. Eligibility is checked before a tier is assigned: applicants must be in-seat operators who lead teams and own or materially influence a revenue number, and consultants, fractionals and service providers are turned away. Facilitated Small Councils of six to ten non-competing peers are the core of the Gold and Scale tiers.

Hoe het werkt

Prospective members complete a short eligibility check on title level and go-to-market function, then are routed to a tier and can complete membership setup online for the Associate and Executive tiers. Day-to-day activity happens in a members' Slack and in Pavilion University courses. Local chapters run in-person dinners, workshops and roundtables. The Scale and Gold tiers add professionally moderated Small Councils - eight to ten peers in Scale, six to eight in Gold - matched by function and company stage and meeting on a recurring cadence, plus concierge introductions, off-the-record briefings and private dinners.

Typisch lid

Pavilion publishes five characteristics of a fitting member: leading a team and being accountable for its performance rather than individual output; reporting to a chief executive or executive leader and materially influencing revenue strategy, hiring or spend; holding equity or being measured on long-term outcomes; working cross-functionally with peers of similar seniority; and influencing or owning a P&L, forecast or revenue number. Individual contributors, "lone operators", consultants, full-time fractional executives and service providers are excluded.

Pavilion is one of the few organizations in this category that publishes real prices for its entry tiers, which makes it easy to compare: US$1,375 and US$2,700 a year put it well below CEO peer-advisory bodies and roughly level with professional associations. The economics change sharply at Scale (US$7,500) and Gold, where the product is a facilitated confidential group rather than a network. Its distinguishing feature is functional rather than positional: it serves the revenue leaders below the founder, a population that YPO, EO and Vistage largely do not. Two things merit care. The site quotes three different member counts (5,000, 8,000 and 10,000) without explanation, so treat scale claims loosely. And the Gold cancellation policy imposes a two-year re-entry bar after leaving, an unusually strict lock-out that prospective Gold members should weigh.
