Among high-net-worth peer advisory groups, Long Angle fits founders and investors who have sold a company or no longer run one; it is free to join with more than $3 million in assets, excluding a primary residence. Its Trusted Circles, small monthly groups, cost $4,500 a year. TIGER 21 suits investors with $20 million or more who want a paid, structured group, at $34,000 a year in North America. Post Exit Founders runs paid monthly groups for founders after an exit. YPO, EO, Vistage and Hampton are built around the company you lead. 506 Investor Group and Private Investor Club are free forums for comparing notes on private investments.
Key Takeaways
- Eligibility tests differ in kind: YPO, EO, Vistage and Hampton look at the company you run; TIGER 21 and Long Angle look at what you hold.
- TIGER 21 is the most expensive at $34,000 a year plus $5,000 to join in North America. Vistage, EO and Post Exit Founders do not publish dues.
- 506 Investor Group and Private Investor Club are free and bar investment sponsors from joining.
- Long Angle is free to join with more than $3 million in household assets; its Trusted Circles are $4,500 a year with a twelve-month minimum.
- The commitment gap is large: TIGER 21 expects eight full-day meetings a year, an investor forum expects nothing.

High-Net-Worth Peer Groups at a Glance
Nine groups come up most often when people with significant wealth look for peers. The table compares what each publishes about cost, eligibility, format and commitment. Where a group does not publish a figure, the table says so.

Two Kinds of Group Answer the Same Search
A peer advisory group and an investor community solve different problems, though both get called a "private community for high-net-worth people." An advisory group is a fixed set of people who meet on a schedule and get to know your situation. An investor community is a larger group where you bring a specific opportunity or question and get several informed views on it.
The difference shows up in cost and time. The advisory groups that publish a price charge between $4,790 and $34,000 a year to start, and most expect you at a monthly meeting. The two investor communities here are free and ask for no attendance. Pick by the problem in front of you: a year of decisions about your company or your wealth calls for a group, and a specific private placement calls for a forum.
Peer Advisory Groups
TIGER 21
TIGER 21 is the advisory group built for people whose main job is now managing significant wealth. It requires $20 million in investable assets or qualifying net worth and runs groups of up to 15 that meet for a full day eleven times a year, with at least eight meetings required. In the first year each member presents a Portfolio Defense, their investment portfolio for the group to challenge, and members away from a chapter can join a virtual Global Group instead. Dues are $34,000 a year plus a $5,000 initiation in North America. See TIGER 21 vs. YPO.
YPO
YPO is a group for sitting chief executives. Applicants must be under 45 and the top operational leader of a company that meets its revenue and employee thresholds, such as $16 million or more in revenue and 50 full-time employees. YPO publishes its global dues, $4,790 to join and $4,790 a year, but not the chapter dues added on top. See YPO requirements.
EO
EO, the Entrepreneurs' Organization, is open to founders and owners of businesses with at least $1 million in revenue, a lower bar than YPO. Its core is Forum: six to ten members meeting monthly with a trained peer moderator. Below $1 million, EO Accelerator costs $1,750 a year. EO does not publish dues for full membership.
Vistage
Vistage pairs a peer group with a coach. Groups of 12 to 16 business leaders meet one day a month, led by a paid Chair who also holds a private coaching session with each member monthly. Vistage describes its fit as companies with $5 million or more in revenue and publishes its fee structure, an enrollment fee plus monthly dues, but not the amounts. See is Vistage worth it.
Hampton
Hampton is an in-person community for "actively operating founders, CEOs, or owners of businesses," specifically digital or tech-enabled companies. They meet one of three financial tests ($3 million in revenue, $3 million raised or a previous exit above $10 million) and must live in a chapter city; the exit test does not replace the operating requirement. Core groups meet for about three hours a month, ten months a year, with a facilitator. Hampton publishes a price of $15,000 a year on its comparison pages and a $2,500 initiation fee on its membership guarantee page. See EO vs. Hampton.
Post Exit Founders
Post Exit Founders is for founders who have already sold a company they founded. Groups of about ten meet monthly with a professional facilitator, in person or remote, across 30+ chapters. It does not publish a price or a minimum exit size; its terms describe a 30-day free trial before a paid subscription. For how founder-only groups compare with peers from every path after a sale, see peer groups after selling a business.
Investor Communities
506 Investor Group
506 Investor Group is a free online community for verified accredited investors, founded in 2015. Its defining rule is that sponsors, placement agents and their employees cannot join, so the people reviewing an offering are not the people selling it. Activity centers on a private forum, with about 30 local meetups and an annual conference that members pay to attend.
Private Investor Club
Private Investor Club is a free community, also founded in 2015, where members share diligence on private offerings. Members confirm they have no connection to investment sponsors and sign an NDA. Accredited status is required for some offerings rather than for joining.
Where Long Angle Fits
Long Angle is the one option here that is both an investor community and an advisory group. It is free to join for people with more than $3 million in household assets, including illiquid assets and excluding a primary residence, and every member agrees not to solicit other members.
The community is where most of the value sits: members compare notes on allocation, private investments, advisors and their fees, tax, estate planning and family decisions, and ask "who have you used, and would you do it again?" For a fixed group, Trusted Circles put six to eight members, matched by life stage and net worth, in a room with a professional moderator for three hours a month over Zoom. Circles cost $4,500 a year with a twelve-month minimum, and run by stage (including Post-Exit), by shared context and by experience.
Members describe what the small group adds. "I can bring any problem to them," one said. "More often than not, they've been in a similar situation." Another credited their Circle with helping them through "a career shift, a house move, and the growth of my family."
Long Angle is the wrong fit for someone who wants a full-day, in-person meeting every month, or a group made up only of sitting CEOs. TIGER 21 and YPO are built for those.
How to Choose a High-Net-Worth Peer Group
Three questions narrow the field quickly.
What will you decide this year? Company decisions point to YPO, EO, Vistage or Hampton. Decisions about stewarding wealth point to TIGER 21 or Long Angle. A single private investment points to an investor community.
Which test does it apply? The company-based groups test your current role or revenue, so they stop fitting after a sale. The asset-based groups test what you hold after tax, not what a company sold for.
Who in the room is selling? TIGER 21, Private Investor Club and Long Angle bar members from soliciting each other, and 506 Investor Group bars sponsors from joining at all. Ask any other group how it handles it before you join.
Final Thoughts
Choose by the decisions in front of you, not the brand. If they concern the company, the CEO groups are built for it. If they concern eight figures, TIGER 21 is. If they concern a specific opportunity, the investor communities cost nothing. Long Angle sits between them: free to join above $3 million, with a paid small group for members who want the same faces every month.
