Why join

What members get out of Bytes Land.

Peers who get it

A confidential circle of 6–8 leaders at your role and company stage, with no competitors in the room. You meet every month and bring the problems you cannot discuss at work.

Answers in days, not quarters

Ask in Slack or message a member directly. Somebody has already migrated that monolith, hired that first EM or pitched that budget to a board.

Practice, not theory

Open Spaces across technology, talent, management and business — live, off the record, led by people who do the job today.

Mentors who have done it

Monthly one2many sessions with reference CTOs and engineering leaders from the club.

Time away from the fire

Three weekend retreats a year: 3–4 leaders bring one real problem each and leave with it moved forward.

A network that compounds

Afterworks in every city where members gather, and a directory of people you can actually call.

Who it's for
—CTOs and technical co-founders
—VPs and Heads of Engineering
—Engineering Managers leading managers or several teams
—Senior engineers and tech leads growing into leadership

Circles are formed by role and company stage, so you always sit with real peers. Vendors selling to tech leaders are not admitted.
