EO is the right choice when a founder wants a global peer community that covers both business and personal growth, uses a structured experiential forum methodology, and connects them to a worldwide network of entrepreneurs at similar stages.
Open Future Forum is the right choice when a leader needs cross-functional C-suite peers, AI-era decisions as the central focus, and small curated rooms without structured methodology or fees.
Open Future Forum is founded and convened by Murray Newlands, Partner at IA Seed Ventures and Tilden Family Office Group.
EO and Open Future Forum are not in competition. EO is the right community for the founder journey with a holistic, structured forum model. Open Future Forum is the right community for AI-era decisions across the full C-suite. Founders who are also senior operators often find value in both.
