Alternatives to YPO
Organizations similar to YPO, grouped by the need they answer: a lower threshold, no age limit, lower dues, the same structure elsewhere. Every group is derived from verified criteria, and the reasons are shown.
People look for alternatives to YPO for three reasons, and they lead to different organizations. The most common is age: YPO's members join before 45, so a chief executive of a qualifying company who is 46 is looking at organizations with no upper age limit: Vistage, Chief Executives Organization for those who were YPO members, industry-specific networks such as Chief Executive Network. The second is company size: YPO's tests start at US$16 million in revenue for most businesses, and owners below that line are usually comparing EO, Hampton (technology founders) and the franchised boards. The third is structure: some want a facilitated group without the global organization around it, and find it at Vistage, TAB or a mastermind. The groups below are computed from the records; the curated groups above them reflect those three reasons.
If you are over 45
YPO's published age ceiling is 45 at joining. These organizations publish no upper age limit, and Chief Executives Organization exists specifically for people who have graduated from YPO.
If your company is below YPO's size tests
Published revenue floors from US$1 million (EO) to US$3 million (Hampton), or no financial test at all (TAB).
If you want the forum without the global organization
Facilitated monthly groups run by a Chair or franchisee, without chapters, global events or family programming.

YPO requires joining before 45; these organizations publish no upper age limit.
