Interactive workshops and peer learning
Referrals and collaborative relationships that grow through trust
Opportunities to meet likeminded business owners whose work complements your own
$79/month for life for the first 79 members
Ever walked into a group of business owners and thought:
“Yeah… these aren’t my people.”?
We know networking matters. But a lot of networking spaces just don’t feel right. The meetings can be rigid and outdated, the vibe can be transactional, and the “sell yourself” energy gets exhausting fast.
You show up hoping to build real relationships… and leave knowing you just wasted an hour. And when the room doesn’t feel inclusive or respectful, it’s hard to want to come back - let alone trust people enough to refer them business.
Here’s how you know the networking rooms you’re going to aren’t working
Sometimes it’s not obvious in the moment. But over time, the signs add up that a group isn’t helping you move forward.
If you recognize one or more of these, the rooms you’re in may not be worth the time, money, and energy you’re putting into them.
-
You show up, give your elevator pitch (along with everyone else), but leave without any real next steps, meaningful introductions, or feeling like you met anyone you’d want to talk to again.
-
The people in the group talk down to you, and question your qualifications, which makes you spiral into impostor syndrome. Gross.
-
Organizers get gaslighty, telling you you’re just not spending enough time talking to people… when in reality, these are the wrong people to talk to, and you’re just burning hours you don’t have having conversations that don’t help you.
-
The more time you spend in the wrong rooms, the less time you have to build your business the way you want to.
-
Group leaders don’t take constructive feedback on how to improve the experience, members are unfriendly or gate keep how they got successful, and there’s no sense of community.
A vetted community for business owners
Where networking feels right and referrals happen naturally
We built what we couldn’t find anywhere else: a space where business owners can have a good time connecting in a way that feels human, respectful, and genuinely useful.
We know that people like referring business to people they genuinely like, so we focus on consistent relationship-building, peer learning, and real opportunities that come from establishing trust.
What this looks like:
Engaging networking and mastermind calls designed to grow you and your business, without any pressure selling
Opportunities to meet other business owners so you can connect on different levels and get to know the person behind the business
Collaborative mastermind sessions where you can share your expertise in a way that helps others grow while building trust naturally and getting referrals
Shared community values (*cough* liberals) that keep the space fun, respectful, and free of bad behavior
What you get as a Social Good Networking member
Virtual Networking and Mastermind Calls
Group calls you’ll actually look forward to.
Guided conversations, so you can focus on building relationships instead of trying to think of what to say (we see you, introverts)
Mastermind sessions so you can showcase your expertise AND get support in areas you’re feeling stuck
Multiple time options so different schedules can participate (we see you, working parents)
Villages to serve everyone
It takes village to grow a business, but that can be hard to find in large online groups, so we offer
Interest-based groups that help relationships deepen naturally (book club, working parents, shared hobbies)
Spaces to connect on all the parts of business ownership…
…And on all the aspects of being a human that come up along the way
Easier ways to find your business besties
Hot seats: Get answers from trusted colleagues
Learn from others and share your own expertise.
Every business has its own unique challenges, and in SGN, you’ll have access to members with the expertise and answers you need to be successful
You’re that expert too! Sharing your expertise allows others to understand your work better so they can refer the right kinds of business to you (without getting pitchy)
A vetted community with shared values
A welcoming and inclusive community of like-minded people, who are tired of stale, old, and crusty networking tactics, and of being lectured to by someone who thinks they know better than you.
Emotional safety matters! We vet every new member based on values to create a nurturing environment for your business to grow
A culture where people feel appreciated and celebrated for what they bring and who they are
And if you ever run into issues our very clear code of conduct is there to take care of it.
Referrals and collaborations
Refer business to each other and/or find the right partner for your next project
Don’t know how to ask for a referral or feel super awkward about it? We’ll show you how and make it feel natural, so you can get new clients from people who really understand your work
Find collaborators and partners for projects, events, content, and client work
No platform referral fees (yeah, other networking groups take a cut). If you choose to offer a referral fee, you work it out directly with your referral partner
Community Hub
24/7 access to a robust community platform
Start discussions, ask questions, and comment on topics
Create a profile that makes it easy for others to understand what you do and refer business to you
Attend meetings, send direct messages, and socialize all in one place
You’re not “bad at networking.”
You’ve just been in the wrong rooms.
Apply to join a community where relationships feel natural, and the right opportunities follow. The first 79 members get a lifetime rate of $79/month.
We give back
At Social Good Networking, we believe that together we can not only help each other grow… but we have the power make the world a better place.
So, a portion of SGN’s revenue is donated to organizations like Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and the NAACP.
Because a rising tide really does lift all boats.
Is this the right community to grow your business?

Sample Schedule
Our community offers a variety of different calls - from networking calls to interest-based groups - to give everyone ample opportunities to get to know other members.
We are expanding the number of weekly calls based on the number of members, meaning that as the community grows, our schedule will grow.
-
Our signature calls and the core of the community. To get things started, we’ll host community calls every month, with different days and times to give members in different schedules and time zones a chance to join. As the community grows, we’ll add more.
-
Member-led sessions designed to share practical expertise with the community. These calls give members the chance to learn from each other, ask questions, and benefit from real-world experience. We’ll schedule expert sessions based on member interest.
-
These smaller group calls are designed to help members connect beyond business. From topics like books, parenting, wellness, or other shared interests, the goal is to get to know each other on a more human level, build trust, and strengthen relationships over time. Our founders will help facilitate these groups, and we’ll launch them as soon as there’s enough interest around a topic to meet regularly.
-
Coming soon. As the community grows, we’ll introduce industry-specific calls where members in similar fields can connect, exchange ideas, ask questions, and discuss topics that matter in their day-to-day work.
Ready for a community that feels right?
We can’t wait to welcome you in!
Your Questions, Answered
-
We decided to start Social Good Networking after suffering through some really disappointing networking experiences.
Some of these groups had members who were not really entrepreneurs, showed condescending behavior, had hidden fees and quotas for referring, hard pitches, and poorly run and boring meetings.
We knew it could be different.
-
The founders of Social Good Networking met each other through intentional networking.
-
After we have sold out of our founding memberships, the monthly rate for new members will be $125/month.
Founding members will have a rate of $79/month for the lifetime of their membership.
If a founding member cancels and rejoins, they will have to sign up at the regular rate of $125/month.
-
Members may cancel at any time. Refunds for months already paid will not be issued.
