Each applicant applying to Strata undergoes an extensive interview, thorough vetting, and comprehensive research before receiving an invitation. With an acceptance rate of less than 8%, our primary focus remains on upholding the quality and integrity of our community.

Our membership benefits at Strata are often referred to as The Strata Five. Upon becoming a member of Strata, you gain access to all five benefits. Furthermore, you can anticipate ongoing enjoyment of new perks as we consistently introduce additional member benefits over time.

Monthly Core Groups

The foundation of the Strata experience revolves around its monthly core group gatherings, constituting the sole obligatory aspect within Strata. Upon joining Strata, our membership team takes great care in selecting compatible members to join your group. You'll be meticulously curated into a cohort alongside nine fellow leaders and an adept executive facilitator. Group formation is initially guided by industry alignment, further prioritizing traction metrics such as revenue, growth, user base, and workforce size.

These virtual core group meetings span 2.5 hours and occur 12 times annually.

Consider your core group as your personalized advisory board, offering guidance, crucial feedback, and support to expedite your business growth.

The sessions are meticulously structured and coordinated by your facilitator, who leverages a tried-and-tested Strata playbook designed to focus on the most pivotal aspects of your personal and professional journey.

Digital Community

Strata members gain instant access to the expansive Strata-wide digital community. We take pride in the robust 85% engagement within our community, where members actively strive to assist others and exchange pertinent information. Whether you're facing an urgent issue like securing another round of funding, contemplating executive hiring, or finalizing a significant contract, chances are a fellow Strata member has encountered a similar experience and is available to offer assistance.

Upon joining Strata, you'll be granted access to our exclusive Strata directory and portal. This resource not only features a comprehensive list of every member along with their contact details but also allows you to locate Strata members on a map, facilitating quick and efficient meet-ups for coffees or regional gatherings.

Additionally, as a member of Strata, you'll benefit from the guidance of "Harper Strata," our dedicated full-time digital concierge. "Harper Strata" is committed to aiding you during onboarding, connecting you with other Strata affiliates, and directing you toward relevant speaker series or in-person events.

Lastly, we curate a weekly Strata newsletter, consolidating the most significant Strata discussions, introducing new members, and ensuring you stay informed about the bustling activities within our thriving community.

In-person Community

Our approach to in-person events at Strata revolves around three fundamental elements: our monthly member gatherings, yearly retreats, and regional excursions.

Recognizing the enthusiasm of Strata members for in-person interactions, we've curated member dinners across our prime locations. Since we are primarily based in the GCC, our goal is to host 4 dinners annually in various GCC locations. The plan is to continue adding more dinners in line with our growing membership. The best part? These gatherings are meticulously organized and covered by Strata.

While our plans for the annual retreats are in the early stages, we aspire to arrange a two-day retreat annually for each member within a core group. Picture a two-day retreat, offering a blend of rustic charm and luxury in an idyllic setting, focused on personal and professional development. All arrangements and coordination are taken care of by Strata.

Additionally, understanding the penchant of Strata community members for enjoyable experiences and seeking adventure, we're devising an array of open-to-all activities. Keep an eye out for these memorable and engaging events!

Speaker Series & Education

Understanding the significance of accessing top-tier expertise and staying ahead in your field, we at Strata curate distinctive workshops and invite distinguished speakers to engage with our community across a spectrum of subjects. We've had the privilege of meeting and speaking with a long list of accomplished individuals from various industries, including notable figures in business, marketing, and entrepreneurship.

If there's a particular individual you wish to learn from or engage with, there's a high probability we can facilitate that interaction.
