One of the most significant benefits has been the access to diverse perspectives and strategies from other members.
It connected me with a vibrant community of SaaS founders, offering weekly sessions for tailored problem-solving.
A group of people to discuss challenges and gain diverse perspectives.
Data from founders, for founders
The per-seat model built the industry. AI is breaking that link. Our research shows who is adapting, and how.

Launch, vetting, time, cancelling and how the community fits with Shift AI Europe.
When does membership open?
Soon. We are opening in stages, starting with founders on the waitlist. Join at the level that fits you and we will be in touch before the doors open, with first access to your place.
How is this different from LinkedIn or a Slack group?
Every member is a vetted founder or operator. Conversations are off the record, roundtables are closed-door, and Collective chapters are matched by ARR, stage and the challenge you are working through.
How do you vet members?
Member starts with a short application confirming your ARR range and your current AI challenge. Collective is application only, reviewed by the Shift AI team and existing Collective members.
What is the time commitment?
Member works best with one AI Town Hall a month plus the Slack community. Collective members spend two to three hours a month with their chapter, plus the quarterly dinners.
Can I cancel?
Member has a three-month minimum, then you can cancel any time with 30 days’ notice. Collective is annual: it is non-refundable after 14 days and renews automatically unless you cancel with 30 days’ notice.
How does the community connect to Shift AI Europe?
Shift AI Europe in Barcelona every October is where the year comes together. The community keeps those relationships going between events.
