This is where you are right now.

Helen and Alix (our Membership Team) are looking at your application as you read this.

They're likely standing at their desks in our New York City office looking over the info you submitted, your LinkedIn, your company's website, your Crunchbase - really anything they can get their hands on!

They're seeing if:

1. Your company does at least $3M in revenue
2. Is it in tech, internet, or a related space?
3. And if you're in a city where we're accepting new members

If Helen and Alix think that you're a good fit "on paper," they'll set up a call with you.

This is not a sales call. It's an interview, vetting call. Helen and Alix… They don't decide who gets into Hampton (we'll address in a few more sentences down).

They want to hear how you think, what you're building, and get a sense of your energy.

Our Membership Team has interviewed thousands of entrepreneurs.

After the interview, other Hampton members get a chance to veto your application.

Why?

Because we let the group self-police. If someone's had bad, unethical experiences with you, they can block you from joining. It keeps Hampton high-trust.

If there are no objections, our Core Team (led by Alexa and Maya, who run our 13 cities) will decide if you're a good fit for their Chapter.

Finally, our two founders (Sam and Joe) will review your interview and file. If everything's great - they'll click the invite button and boom - you'll get an email.

You'll have 10 days to accept and pay your first year's dues + initiation fee.

The invite will come via email about two weeks after your interview (sometimes less, sometimes more).

You will get instant access to the digital community where you can network with our 1,000+ members throughout the country and can attend events in your local chapter.

It'll take about 90 days until your Core group placement. This is a meticulous process and can't be rushed!

Yes - it's a lot.

But Hampton only works because we meticulously curate people and filter out non-serious operators through a vetting process.

If we aren't super uptight about all this then, well, our members will churn out and not be with us for decades (the goal!).

Now you know.

We'll email you soon.
