What EO New York does

EO New York is a local chapter of the global Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO), established in 1998, that operates as a selective, membership-based peer-to-peer networking community for entrepreneurs who are founders, owners, or majority shareholders of businesses generating $1M or more in annual revenue. The chapter serves the New York City metropolitan area and is part of EO's broader global network of more than 18,000 entrepreneurs across 220 chapters in 61+ countries. As of the latest reported figures, EO New York has approximately 210 members whose companies collectively generate over $970 million in annual revenue and employ 12,000+ workers across 51+ industries. The chapter is led by an elected volunteer board under a Chapter President (currently Rob Rivadeneira, with Paul Smith as Moderator Chair / President Elect) alongside professional staff in Chapter Exec and Chapter Manager roles.

The organization's core offerings include EO Membership (the anchor product), EO Forum (confidential peer-to-peer learning groups of 7-10 members meeting monthly to discuss personal and professional challenges), EO Events (curated local, regional, and global learning and networking experiences), EO House NYC (a 4,146 square foot members-only co-working and event space in Chelsea at 151 West 19th Street, 5th floor, opened January 2022 with capacity for 70 people), and the EO Accelerator program (a lower-tier pathway for businesses with $250K+ annual revenue working toward full EO membership). EO New York is not a technology company and has no proprietary technology stack; its digital footprint consists of a content-rich website (eonyc.org) and Google Forms-based applications. AI capability is delivered exclusively through Strategic Alliance Partners (Kiingo AI, Solender AI) rather than internal development.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual membership dues on a subscription/recurring model (specific pricing not publicly disclosed), supplemented by EO House space rental income ($125/hr or $2,000 full-day for members; $175/hr or $4,000 full-day for non-members) and Strategic Alliance Partner contributions from organizations such as Capital One, PKF O'Connor Davies, Sedhom Law Group, Culture Index, and Wealthrive. The organization grows through a community-led go-to-market motion — referrals, exclusive events, and word-of-mouth — with members admitted quarterly through a selective interview and vetting process. The most significant recent strategic action was the January 2022 opening of EO House NYC, funded by board and member contributions and intended to anchor the chapter's physical presence and member engagement.

• Renaissance Executive Forums: Operates peer advisory forums for CEOs and business owners across North America, with a focus on monthly confidential group meetings — structurally analogous to EO New York's Forum product.
• Strategic Coach: Coaching and peer-group program founded by Dan Sullivan, serving entrepreneurs with multiple streams of revenue. Comparable to EO New York's peer learning and entrepreneur growth programming.
• Entrepreneurs' Organization (Global): The global parent organization of EO New York, operating 220+ chapters across 61+ countries with 18,000+ members. EO New York is functionally a regional chapter of this global network, sharing brand, membership criteria, and Forum programming.

• The Alternative Board (TAB): International peer advisory organization for SME owners and CEOs, organizing monthly peer boards of non-competing business owners. Closely mirrors EO New York's Forum-based peer learning model.
• Tiger 21: Peer membership organization for high-net-worth investors and entrepreneurs with $10M+ investable assets. Comparable to EO New York in confidential peer-group format, but skews toward wealth preservation rather than operational peer learning.

Emerging players

• Pavilion: Membership community for senior go-to-market executives, offering peer learning, benchmarking, and events. Adjacent to EO New York in serving senior operators but with a narrower functional focus on commercial leadership.
• Chief: Private membership network for women C-suite executives, offering peer groups and leadership programming. Comparable in peer-group structure but differentiated by demographic and stage of career.
