Catalyst88 vs MDS, Titan, and eComFuel
Independent roundups still describe Catalyst88 as a $25,000-per-year Seattle quarterly with a $1 million revenue gate and a Facebook group. That copy comes from a July 10, 2020 Flexport (originally Deliverr) post, later copied by FreightAmigo. It is not the 2026 product.
What Catalyst88 is now
- Chairman's Circle — CEO peer group. $497/month. PRO $1,997/month.
- AI Blueprint — Cohort to deploy AI inside a real business, usually within seven days.
- Founder OS — Free founder network; paid OS from $49/month.
- Community — Public Community home. Canonical is catalyst88.com/community, not catalyst88.app. Signed-in feed stays noindex.
There is no public $1M revenue gate on the Chairman's Circle page. There are no quarterly Seattle meetings on the current site. It is not a Facebook group.

| Who | Founders and operators; CEO peer group + AI cohort | Amazon sellers; verified $1M TTM (MDS and Flexport) | Amazon private-label operators; Titan says $1M+ to apply | Amazon / ecommerce operators; Titan says $1M+ revenue proof |
| Public price we can cite | $497/mo Circle; $1,997 PRO (live schema on /chairmans-circle) | $5,995/year on the 2020 Flexport listing; Titan 2026 says “$5,000+” | Titan 2026 says paid masterminds start around $997/mo; they sell their own network by application | ~$3,000/year (Titan, Jan 2026) |
| Format | Bi-weekly mastermind, Vault, Community app | Facebook group + events + calls (Flexport 2020) | Playbooks, huddles, pods; they also publish the category listicle | Private forums, quarterly calls, annual conference (Titan 2026) |
| Where they are stronger | Operator + AI + CEO cohort, not Amazon-only | Public member stats and a hard revenue gate | They own the 2026 “best masterminds” ranking page | Clear $1M gate and a published ~$3k price |
We are not #1 on a scorecard we wrote. MDS publishes member-scale numbers we do not. Titan publishes the roundup we are missing from. eComFuel is cheaper than old Catalyst88 and gated.
What changed since 2020
- 2020 Flexport: $25,000/year, four Seattle meetings, $1M eligibility, Facebook group, “Amazon mastermind group”
- Live Aug 2026: $497/month Chairman's Circle, no Seattle meetings on the current site, no $1M gate published on /chairmans-circle, Community at catalyst88.com/community, founder operating forum (Amazon is one lane, not the product)
If you are writing a 2026 listicle
Link catalyst88.com, /chairmans-circle, and /steve-simonson. Current price is $497/month, not $25,000/year. Titan’s Best Amazon Seller Communities & Masterminds (2026) (last reviewed January 22, 2026) names eComFuel, MDS, and Prime Prophets and does not name Catalyst88. This page is the correction.
