Apply to be a City Ambassador

As a city Ambassador you will follow a proven model to establish 99founders in your city.

  • A city Ambassador is responsible for organizing events and workshops for the local 99founders community. The ambassador will be responsible courting new members, developing new partnerships and being the face of 99founders.

    • The ideal City Ambassador must be highly dependable, organized and passionate about 99founders.
    • The Ambassador will have a deep knowledge of the local area especially businesses.
    • Also the ideal person will be resourceful, a self starter with motivation to excel in promoting/marketing the 99founders brand.
  • Once an ideal Ambassador is confirmed, we provide a model on recruiting and courting potential members, signing up partners, periodic reviews of partners, organizing workshops, events and meetups. Everything you need will be provided including any funding.
  • Well, we were hoping you’d be a City Ambassador out of the goodness of your heart. On a more serious note, we do offer a very generous revenue sharing model for all our Ambassadors. If you do the work, then we believe you should be compensated for it. Our model is based on performance and quality.

Member Benefits

Preferred Partners

Our preferred partners are hand selected from local and online businesses which means you get to enjoy special access to some of the businesses in your area.

Exclusive Benefits

The benefits offered are exclusive and specially curated for our members. These are not the same as you would find in coupons or other special promotions offered by our partners. We doubt you’d find a better offer anywhere.

Meaningful Connections

We believe our members should spend more time building meaningful connections and relationships. Networking is great if you want to socialize and meet hundreds of people. Deep connections is what matters to help drive longevity.

Workshops

We offer business workshops to our members to help them navigate through the start-up maze. We believe experts are other entrepreneurs who have actually gone through or have first hand experience in a specific area or topic.

Complimentary Perks

One of the great benefits of being a member are the perks you get to enjoy from 99founders and some of its partners. From free tickets, to services there will be no shortage of complimentary things.

Master Mind Group

First introduced by Napoleon Hill, a Master Mind Group of 8-10 other members will be created to provide different perspective, feedback to help each member succeed and also to create accountability for your goals.

Accelerator/Rescue Fund

This is a first of its kind anywhere. We add 5% of membership dues to an Accelerator/Rescue fund. Governed by other members this fund is used to fund new ideas, ventures or to help rescue a failing business. We are starting off the fund with $10,000

Membership Card

Our members don’t need to carry another shiny membership card in their wallet so they have an option to either use their smartphone or present their card.
