Membership starts with relevance, not with a title.
COAB is a selective community. Being an entrepreneur or senior manager does not automatically make someone a good fit. We look for people who can bring expertise, experience, access and a genuine willingness to contribute.
Who we look for
- founders and owners
- CEOs and managing directors
- managing partners
- country managers
- senior executives
- other people with real decision-making responsibility
A title is only one indicator. Professional relevance, reputation, competence and potential contribution matter more.
What membership means
Membership is not simply access to events. It means becoming part of a group where you can ask for help, provide context, recommend a strong professional and open a relevant conversation when you are able to do so. The network works through reciprocity.
The process

Tell us about yourself, your work and why COAB is relevant to you.

Membership is not an online purchase
There is no “Buy membership” button. We prefer to know the people before adding them to the network.
