Country Club · growth model

The loops that build the network

Paid hosts bring the first guests. Guests become hosts, well-known guests become reputable hosts, reputable hosts bring companies, and companies bring their own people. The goal: 1 million people who have come to at least one Country Club dinner by December 2027. Move any number and watch what it takes.

How the numbers work
  1. The goal counts people who have come to at least one Country Club dinner. Each person counts once, however many times they come back.
  2. Paid hosts each send invitations every month. Guests per paid host = invitations × (matched share × matched accept rate + other share × other accept rate) × show-up rate. New paid hosts work at half pace in their first month. Their dinners are guest-paid.
  3. Hosts, reputable hosts and own-dinner companies each bring a set number of new people a month (their community, customers or team).
  4. Dinners. Paid hosts, hosts and reputable hosts run their dinners every month. Sponsors want sponsored dinners per year ÷ 12 dinners a month; these go to reputable hosts first, then to hosts up to the share of their dinners that can be sponsored. Every other host dinner is guest-paid. Own-dinner companies run own dinners per year ÷ 12 dinners a month.
  5. Seats. Everyone who wants a first dinner waits until there is a seat. New people get seats first; returning people fill the rest. People still waiting after a month drop off at 15% a month. Turn the seat limit off to see demand alone.
  6. Coming back. Nobody leaves the network: we keep their contact and intent. Each month, times a person comes back a year ÷ 12 of the network wants another dinner.
  7. Role changes with delays. After their first dinner, a share of guests start hosting after the months you set; a few well-known guests become reputable hosts. Hosts also graduate to reputable hosts each month. Companies arrive after the months from first contact. A share of sponsors start their own dinners within a year and keep sponsoring.
  8. Staying active. “Still active after a year” is turned into a steady monthly drop-off. For example, 60% after a year means about 4% stop each month.
  9. Revenue.
    • Target guests: sponsors pay for the target guests per sponsored dinner, and own-dinner companies for new target guests. This is capped by how many target guests the dinners actually supply (target share × seats filled, not counting companies’ own people). Country Club keeps the payment for guests it sourced (paid hosts and the starting network); hosts keep it for the guests they sourced.
    • Platform fee: per guest at companies’ own dinners, after each new company’s free guests.
    • Food: Country Club’s share of food at guest-paid dinners.
  10. Cost. Paid hosts’ monthly pay plus other monthly costs. Host fees paid by sponsors pass through and are not counted.
