Storm King Exec Network

Our promise to the network

Your trust is the whole business.

Storm King is free for members because vendors and agencies pay to work with us. That only works if you always know who is paying, what they get, and how to say no. These are the rules we hold ourselves and every partner to.

The Storm King Promise

Six things we will always do

This is how the network stays useful, and stays yours.

01

Members never pay.

Vendors and agencies fund the network. Every one of them is listed on this page.

02

Our Slack is a no-solicitation zone.

No vendors, no pitching, no cold DMs. It's a place to ask for help, not a place to get sold to.

03

Every intro is double opt-in.

You say yes, the partner says yes, and only then do we connect you. Your details aren't shared until you do.

04

You can opt out anytime.

Tell us you don't want vendor requests and they stop. You stay a full member, no questions asked.

05

Your time is worth something.

Join our Product Feedback Cohort and we'll pay you $100 for 30 minutes of your time. Each month we also feature a charitable partner, chosen from our member base, and increase the payout by 25%.

06

We tell you who's paying.

Every partner we work with, and what kind of relationship it is, is public. We update the list whenever it changes.

Rules of engagement

How introductions actually work

Introductions are how members find tools and partners that solve real problems, and how our partners meet the right people. Here's what each side can count on.

For members

  • Before anyone gets your details, we tell you the type of company and why we think it's relevant to you.
  • Saying no is always fine. Pass on any intro or feedback call, no hard feelings.
  • Feedback calls are optional and paid: $100 for 30 minutes, as a gift card or a charity donation. Pick our featured charity of the month and the payout goes up 25%.
  • Want fewer requests, or only certain topics? Tell us and we'll adjust. Want none? We'll stop.

For partners

  • No access to the member Slack, and no soliciting members there. Ever.
  • Partners only meet members who said yes, and partners approve every intro on their side too.
  • Every event names its hosts, so guests always know who is sponsoring the night.
  • At events, partners teach, they don't pitch. Sessions are conversations, not demos.
  • Members can opt out of partner requests at any time, and we honor it right away.

Follow the money

How Storm King makes money

Members never pay. Every dollar comes from vendors and agencies, in one of these ways.

Event sponsorships
Partners host dinners, roundtables and conference-week nights, and are named as hosts.
Retainers
Ongoing partnerships that include double opt-in introductions and, for some, events.
Product Feedback Cohort
Partners pay for a set number of feedback calls. Members get $100 for each 30-minute call they take.
Referral fees
Some partners also pay us a fee when an introduction turns into a customer. We never sign referral-fee-only relationships. Every partner also hosts events, holds a retainer or works through the cohort.

Your call, always

Don't want vendor requests? Just say so.

Email us or message anyone on our team in Slack, and we'll take you off partner intros and feedback call requests. You keep everything else: the Slack, the events and the people. Rather hear about certain topics only? Tell us which ones.
