Progress Is possible
Because of Punks Like us
A vetted community for Business Punks.
Everything that makes us different makes us stronger.
We’re Business Punks.
We're the business leaders who aren't seduced by Davos, golf, and McKinsey.
The #techbro, #girlboss, #hustleculture startup fraternities and sororities weren't for us.
We’re the rebels of business.
We don’t always blend in.
But, progress is impossible without punks like us.
WE’RE PUNK ON PURPOSE
we EFFING love each other
The 200 most PUNKROCK
executives in the world
A hyper-curated network of 200 business punks
Member benefits
Everything we offer to our Punks is built around 3 core principles:
You are not alone - Punks are outliers. This is an unfair competitive advantage once you join forces with other Punks.
Build epic shit - Your unique perspective makes you uniquely capable of solving hard problems.
Make more money - Or recognition, or power. However you measure growth.
Here’s how we make them come to life:
Help A Punk
We live in a world of thought leaders and consultants who sell expertise without experience; and advice without accountability. We offer an alternative: a member who has been through the same hard thing and come out the other side will roll up their sleeves and help you. Every week.
Jam Sessions
During a jam session, a Punk who’s really good at something leads a two hour working session with everyone in the group who needs to get good at the same thing. You'll create content alongside the guy who launched The Killers and Post Malone as he creates his content. You'll produce your product roadmap with the head of transformation of Nike. In this way we show and don’t tell. We produce outcomes not ideas. We learn from “do leaders” not “thought leaders.”
Book Burning Parties
Intimate conversations with the smartest rebels, authors, and artists on Earth. At secret speakeasies in NYC and around the world.
Feasts
We get together to cook, eat, and drink. Usually at a Punk's house.
Digital Community
Access to a digital, highly engaged community of business punks.
Monthly Masterminds
Actionable insights to overcome the real life challenges of being a Business Punk.
Your time on earth is precious. so is ours.
Please DO NOT apply unless you’re 150% OK with the following:
Membership in Punks & Pinstripes is limited to 200 people. There are more applications to join than there is space. So, please make sure this is right for you before you invest your time, and ours.
Each applicant is vetted by 3 members so that we’re 100% sure that we’d help you, you’d help us, and we’d love hanging out with you.
Our members take time out of their schedules to vet applicants because they love Punks. But this costs them money. The average corporate Punk manages a P&L of $243mn, and the average startup Punk runs a startup with ARR of $8mn. Please don’t use anyone’s finite time unless you’re serious about joining.
No, really, please re-read the points above. Don’t apply if you’re not sure this is a good use of everyone’s time.
If you’re still talking to us, we can’t wait to meet you!
