A Baha'i-inspired network for professionals
Great business is great service.
A great company may be the most powerful force for good a person can build. We are a network of Baha'i professionals who build them -- meeting, mentoring, and gathering to make companies that serve real people and leave the world better than we found it.
Free to join. No application. No paywall.
The premise
Markets are people. To serve them well is among the most honest, useful things a person can do -- and a company built to do it can touch more lives than almost anything else we make.
What we do
We build the people who build the companies.
A network, mentoring, and a year of gatherings -- the company you keep, in service of the work you do.
Networking
A national network of professionals who open doors for one another -- the right introduction at the right moment.
Mentoring
Small circles where we accompany one another with honest counsel, through the lonely parts of building.
Conferences
A flagship American gathering where the network meets, learns, and recommits -- in person, once a year.
Forums
The conversation between gatherings -- a question answered, a door opened, a hard problem halved.
Podcasts
Long, honest conversations on building companies that matter, with the people doing it.
Meetups
Local rooms in cities across the country, hosted by members, open to anyone curious.
Honest competition that better serves the common good is the engine.

Markets Are People
The phrase "the market" hides the only thing that matters about it -- that it is made entirely of human beings, each making a choice.
Paper
Work as Worship: A Baha'i Framework for Vocation and Enterprise
This paper examines the Baha'i teaching that work performed in a spirit of service is elevated to the rank of worship, and traces its implications for how enterprise, vocation, and economic life might be understood as spiritual practice rather than its opposite.
Article
The Carnegie Letter
When the richest man in the world sent his theory of wealth to 'Abdu'l-Baha, the reply reframed the entire debate -- and it still does.
Voices
The people you'd be keeping.
I stopped thinking of customers as conversions and started thinking of them as neighbors I had to keep earning. Revenue followed -- but that was never the point, and somehow that's exactly why it worked.
This is the only room I've been in where people talk about profit and prayer in the same breath without flinching. It reframed how I back founders -- I look for the ones building to serve.
Join free. Build a company that matters.
Membership is on-tap and free -- no application, no paywall. Come build companies that serve, alongside people who believe the same.
The teachings of Baha'u'llah advocate voluntary sharing, and this is a greater thing than the equalization of wealth. For sharing is a matter of free choice.
