EO is a community created by and for entrepreneurs who want more than just business advice—they want real connection. Members join small, confidential forums where they can share both personal and professional experiences openly, learning from peers who truly understand the ups and downs of building a business. Beyond the forum, EO offers a global network, access to world-class learning, and opportunities for growth that extend far beyond the company. It’s about becoming a better leader, a better entrepreneur, and a better person.
Vistage, by contrast, is more structured and coaching-driven, with professional chairs leading groups of executives. While valuable for some, it’s a more formal model. EO stands apart because it’s peer-to-peer, deeply personal, and designed for founders who want authentic growth in every part of life.

“EO has been life changing for me! A world of entrepreneurs with similar values, the desire to learn & grow, and the opportunity to share bold experiences is unlike anything else I have been exposed to. My work and home life have both improved due to my journey with EO. I look forward to seeing where we go from here!”
— Mike Brannock | CEO Arevo Group
