L0CKED
How it works

Getting in, and what happens after.

Four steps to membership, then a room that's actually worth showing up to. Here's the whole process, with nothing hidden.

  1. 1

    Apply

    Tell us your company, industry, region, year founded, and revenue band. You attest that the band is accurate — that attestation is on the record, and it's the thing review checks against. Takes a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Verify your identity

    A short check through Stripe Identity. You submit your document to Stripe directly — L0CKED never receives, sees, or stores it. We only learn whether the check passed. This is what makes "verified member" mean something.

  3. 3

    Human review

    A person reviews every application against the $1M+ revenue floor and the fit of the room. Most decisions land within about a week. If we say no, you'll be told, and you can re-apply when the picture changes.

  4. 4

    Activate your membership

    $5,000 a year unlocks the directory, The Floor, your peer cohort, events, and direct messages. On the web you pay by card; in the iOS app it's an in-app purchase.

Once you're in

What the room actually is.

The Floor

The members' feed. Post an update or ask the room a question, react, comment, share a photo. Every person answering is a verified operator at your scale — and there's no public audience, so you can ask the real question.

Your peer cohort

6–10 members matched by revenue band, region, and industry, meeting weekly. Small and consistent on purpose: the same people, week over week, so nobody re-explains their business every time.

The directory

Every verified member, searchable by industry, region, and revenue band, each with a verified tier badge. Find the person who's solved your problem, then message them directly.

Events

Dinners and salons hosted by members, for members. See what's coming, RSVP, show up. Any member can host.

Direct messages

Message any verified member directly. No connection requests, no InMail credits, no recruiters — because none of them got through the door.

On every device

Native iOS and Android apps plus the full web app. Same membership, same room, wherever you are.

Standards

How the room stays clean.

Verification gets people in; standards keep the room worth being in. Every post and comment can be reported, and any member can block another member outright. Reported content is reviewed, and content that breaches our Terms of Use is removed — repeat offenders lose their membership without a refund.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content, harassment, or pitching the room. Membership is a privilege that can be revoked, and occasionally is.

Membership is by application.

Verified founders at $1M+ in revenue. Reviewed by a human, every time.
