About the MicroConf Connect Community

MicroConf Connect is an application-only membership community with over 5,000 entrepreneurs who are building, launching, and growing their B2B SaaS businesses. We have members from around the world huddling together on projects across nearly every industry, with entrepreneurs from every stage of their founder journey.

At one end, we have members who have an idea for a side hustle they're looking to build; at the other, we have CEOs of multi-million dollar SaaS companies, with members running the gamut of everything in between.

What you will not find inside of MicroConf Connect are people looking to sell you their services. With a strict "no-pitch" policy in place, we care deeply about creating a space where members can feel free to ask questions and get thoughtful responses without worrying that they are getting a hard pitch.

House Rules

MicroConf Connect has a few non-negotiable rules to keep the space safe and valuable for everyone. Break them, and you could be removed without a warning or refund.

Rule #1: Follow Our Code of Conduct
This one is zero tolerance. Violate it, and you're out. Just be decent and respectful, and you'll be fine.

Rule #2: No Pitches, No Sales
Connect isn't for self-promotion, with the exception of posting in #amplify. Don't use posts or DMs for sales or customer acquisition. Usually, it's a three-strike policy unless you’re being egregious.

Rule #3: Stick to Channel Topics
Each channel has its own focus. Keep conversations on-topic and minimize cross-talk. Use threads. Unsure where to post? Drop a note in #-tomanychannels for guidance. Do your best - we’ll let you know if there is an issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If any of the following describes you, you’re eligible to join.

    • Founder or Owner of a B2B SaaS Company

    • Individuals Interested in Launching a B2B SaaS Company

    • One of the First 10 Employees in a B2B SaaS Company

  • In order to join MicroConf Connect, you will need to submit an application to join. We approve applications for MicroConf Connect once per month for free and Basic memberships, and twice per month for Connect Gold memberships.

  • This depends on the type of Membership you are applying for. If you apply for the free membership, there is no cost associated with you application.

    If you are applying for either our Basic or Gold membership, you will need to submit payment for the plan type you have selected.

    If your application is denied, we will immediately issue you a refund for your purchase.

  • This depends on the type of application that you have submitted.

    For Gold Members: Your application will be reviewed and approved within two weeks of applying for MicroConf Connect membership.

    For Basic Members: We will be approving applications on a monthly basis. Your application will indicate when to expect a decision.

    For Free Members: We are capping the total number of new members to 200 per month. Once your application has been approved, you will be added to a queue based on when your application was submitted. Each month, we will issue invitations to all qualified Gold and Basic members. We will subtract the total number of paid invitations from 200, and issue the remaining invitations to folks on the Free Membership waiting list. We do not anticipate that most people will be on the waiting list for more than 3 months.

  • No discounts on Basic or Gold, but there's a free tier with public channels. Got unique skills or ideas to improve the community? Reach out; we might cut a deal.

  • Unfortunately, MicroConf is specifically tailored for Founders, Owners, and early employees of B2B SaaS companies, as well as those looking to launch their own B2B SaaS venture. Our community focuses on nurturing and growing these particular segments, so we typically do not accept Service Providers, Consultants, financial instrument-related businesses, or those whose primary goal is client acquisition through our community. If you have any other questions about eligibility or would like to explore other ways to engage with MicroConf, please feel free to contact us!

  • You can request a refund within your first 30 days. No refunds after that, but you can cancel anytime to stop future renewals (and keep access until your Membership expires). Your feedback is important to us, so let us know how we can improve and we will do our best to make sure you get the value you need from Connect.

  • When you apply for MicroConf Connect, either at the Basic or Gold level, you'll need to make a payment. This helps us fast-track your approval, smooth out your onboarding experience, and, frankly, weed out folks who are not as serious about joining at the Paid membership level. If you're not approved, you'll get an instant refund.
