There’s a face behind this.
I’m Robert. I started Elev8 in 2023 because the rooms I wanted to sit in didn’t exist — so I built one. I read every application myself. We ask every applicant for a short intro video, so it’s only fair you’ll soon find mine right here.

What it is
You don’t attend Elev8. You belong to it.
The value isn’t a calendar of things to attend — it’s who’s in the room: people who back their opinions, back each other, and don’t flinch at the hard conversations.
The core
The group chat
An always-on room where free speech isn’t a slogan — business, fitness, politics, faith, dating; nothing is off the table and nobody walks on eggshells. This is where the network lives day to day, and where the connections actually start.
Get in the roomIllustrative — real messages stay private.
The people
Vetted founders and operators who built what they have and answer to no trend. Proud of where they come from, unafraid to say what they mean, and holding a standard most have abandoned. The bar to get in is the whole point.
Real connections
Members meet up on their own, across cities and countries — finding business partners, mentors, and genuine friends. The chat starts it; real life continues it.
The occasional gathering
Every so often the group meets in person — rooftops, ranges, frozen lakes. Not a schedule and not the product; it's what happens when the right people actually know each other.
Inside the network
It starts in the chat. It doesn’t end there.
Members connect online, then meet up on their own. Here’s what that has looked like.

How do I join?+
Apply through our Telegram bot, wait for acceptance, then activate your membership — and we onboard you into the network. The whole flow lives in Telegram.
What are the qualifications to get in?+
No exact public criteria, but what helps: you own a business; you're driven across many areas (martial arts, professional driving, etc.); you can approach sensitive topics with logic and an open mind rather than emotion; and you hold a strong belief in freedom of speech.
Is there a membership fee?+
Yes — €79/month or €750/year (two months free), charged only after your application is approved. Not accepted = you pay nothing. Paid on purpose: it filters for people who take the room seriously.
I applied and haven't heard back — what now?+
We've received your application and are most likely still reviewing it. Every applicant is read.
I've been accepted — can I bring a friend?+
No. Everyone goes through the same process. If your friend wants in, send them to apply themselves — acceptance is individual.
The filter
Not for everyone. On purpose.
- Don’t apply if you want a cheap chat to lurk in.
- Don’t apply if you need motivation instead of execution.
- Don’t apply if you get offended when someone disagrees.
- Don’t apply if you aren’t building anything real.
Elevate your network
The room is only as good as who’s in it.
You earned what you have. You hold the line when it costs you. You say what you mean — no matter who’s listening. Sound like you? Apply.
