Now Forming - Founding Membership Open
You're Brilliant at What You Do.
But you can't do it all alone.
What We Do
The Guild of Experts fills the gap between individual coaching and expensive cohort programmes. We provide the infrastructure, the community, and the credibility of both, at a fraction of the cost.
We Know What It's Like
Some of us have chosen this path deliberately.
Some of us are here because a change in circumstances forced us to become more self-reliant.
It doesn't matter how we got here. What matters is that we're great at what we do, and we want to design a life that works for us.
But it's hard to do this alone.
You're learning marketing and pricing and funnels and conversion rates and positioning and personal branding. You're so busy learning new skills that you don't have any time left to enjoy doing the thing you love. You know you need support, so you've tried one-on-one coaching. You know you need community so you've done the expensive cohort programme but still felt like a number.
There's been nothing in between. Until now.
What membership gives you
Three Things Experts Need the Most
01
More Income
The Guild creates its own economic ecosystem.
We leverage the little known economic principle of circulating capital - when a community keeps its economy internal, wealth compounds inside it.
Members refer, collaborate, and buy from each other first. Your peers become your pipeline, not your competition.
This is the logic behind communities like Black Wall Street. It's economic solidarity. Keeping value circulating among people who are invested in each other's success. Keeping wealth with the people who are doing the work.
02
Less Isolation
Going independent shouldn't mean going it alone. But that's often exactly what it becomes. Sure, working from home has its benefits (like comfy pants) but it is isolating when you don't have anyone to bounce ideas off.
Online community helps, up to a point. But there's a type of trust that only builds up through genuine presence.
Once we reach 50 members in your city, we run regular in-person events. Real rooms, with real conversations and real relationships. The kind of connection that doesn't happen in Zoom calls.
03
More Professionalism
You shouldn't have to guess when it comes to drafting your own contracts. Or worse than that, have to accept the client's standard form document (trust me, it's never written in your favour).
Guild members get access to standard legal agreements for services like facilitation, coaching, speaking, and training. So you're not copying templates from the internet and hoping for the best.
Our Guild is based on professionals teaching professionals - we provide ongoing education and training to keep your expertise sharp and your practice current.
Built by People Who Know the Journey
Why We Built This
The Guild of Experts is a MINDFLINT initiative. MINDFLINT applies evolutionary biology and cognitive science to help people understand how they think, and how to build environments where exceptional minds can actually thrive.
We know that building personal brands and competing against everyone, just to stand out, doesn't work for everyone. We know that people are looking for ways to make a positive difference while also make a living. The Guild provides an alternative pathway to solo success based on individual excellence matched with trusted, human relationships.
We've worked across research, deep tech, venture capital, and professional services. We know what happens when brilliant people are forced to operate in systems designed for someone else. The Guild is the structure we wish had existed for us.
