I used this hiring rubric to make my first two CS hires. Both are still on the team 18 months later. The calibration section alone saved me from one bad offer.

I used the NRR narrative deck in my first board presentation as VP. The CFO asked me to present at the next investor update. That was not expected.

Convene is structured around your career stage, not a general feed. Every resource, cohort, and session is mapped to where you are right now — IC, leader, or executive. The content is curated, not crowdsourced.

We review applications to keep the community high-signal. We're not exclusive for the sake of it — we accept the vast majority of applications. We're filtering for practitioners who are serious about the craft, not just looking for a job board.

Yes. If you get promoted or change roles, you can upgrade or downgrade at any billing cycle. We'll help you find the right cohort for your new stage.
