Hey everyone.
Do any RVFers know anything about YPO?
Even more so, are there any members?
I have been headhunted by an agency to collaborate with YPO and it has definitely sparked my interest.
I was wondering whether anyone has experience with YPO or any other similar organizations?
Either as a member or as an employee.
To quote their website:
They are a group for CEOs and decision-makers to network, support and meet on a monthly basis.
The membership requirements are pretty 'elite' in the sense; You have to meet at least one of the A and B categories below.
From an employee's standpoint, it looks like your average corporate job with high salaries, high workload and lots of travelling.
A great opportunity to build a network albeit expensive with annual membership from 3000USD to 10000USD so getting in to their workplace might be a better way in.
Keen to hear any opinions.
