  • COO

  • CFO

  • Founder / Co-Founder

  • Business Operations

  • Strategy

  • Chief of Staff

  • General Manager

  • [Function] Operations

Anyone can apply through our application. Preference will be given to applicants who have been referred by current OG members. If you meet the criteria based on your application, our team will reach out to schedule a 30 minute informational interview with founders Casey and Jamie.

OG membership is “all-inclusive”. All members can access the full scope of benefits that we offer:

  • Live Forum Q&A- "OG Live", our forum, is where members can go to get real-time feedback for any issue or challenge they may be facing as an operator. The caliber and experience of our members ensures that every answer will be relevant and helpful.

  • Events- Our virtual and in-person events include - masterclasses from top international operators - roundtables - dinners - our annual OG Summit

  • OG Partners- Our Partner program ensures that OG members get the best deals on the most cutting-edge products and tools on the market. Partner companies offer benefits exclusive to members, tried and tested by your peers.

  • Jobs Network- Being an OG member is the fast track to better hiring and hassle-free job searching. Get high-quality, pre-screened candidates when you’re trying to fill positions, as well as recommendations and direct connections when you’re looking for a job yourself.

OG Summit is our annual two-day “un-conference” bringing together the world's top operators to learn, connect, and have fun! OG members receive early access and exclusive pricing. Previous speakers include Mark Hawkins (ex-CFO/president of Salesforce), Anne Raimondi (COO of Asana), and Yobie Benjamin (AI technologist and innovator). Summit seats are limited — while the event is technically open to the public, OG members (who receive early access and massive discounts) swoop up most of the tickets.

OG Chapters give our members the opportunity to connect and build relationships with like-minded peers via in-person events. We have chapters in more than 18 cities across the U.S. and host events roughly every 8 weeks, from intimate dinners and VC-hosted happy hours to wine country outings. Not in a major city? No problem — all OG members can attend large-scale events regardless of their location.

Members of the OG Steering Committee are the OG’s top ambassadors. They champion our community by collaborating with the OG executive team on events and special projects. If you are interested in joining the OG Steering Committee, please mention it during your interview process!
