Pricing, cancellations, what Steve does on the calls, what the free account includes, and how Founder OS and the Clubhouse fit together.
Pricing
How much does Catalyst88 cost?
The Clubhouse is free with no card required. Founder OS is $49 per month, $39.20 per month billed annually, or $799 one time for lifetime access. Chairman's Circle is $497 per month and Chairman's Circle PRO is $1,997 per month. There are no contracts on any of them.
Is there a contract or a minimum term?
No. Every Catalyst88 membership is month to month with value-based retention. If the room stops helping you grow, you are free to leave at any time.
Do Chairman's Circle members pay for Founder OS?
No. Active Chairman's Circle and PRO members receive Founder OS as part of their membership, including the founder-owned workspace and five team seats. A Founder OS subscription does not grant Chairman's Circle access.
Can I switch rooms later?
Yes. One account opens every door. Start in the free Clubhouse, add Founder OS when you need the company workspace, and move into the Circle when the stakes call for Steve and a peer group.
Chairman's Circle
Will Steve actually be on every call?
Yes. Steve Simonson leads the bi-weekly mastermind and hot-seat sessions personally. PRO members additionally get his direct line for decisions that cannot wait for the next call.
What happens on a hot seat?
You bring a real decision that is on your desk — a hire, a price change, a partnership, a pivot — and the room pressure-tests it live. You leave with a call to make and people who will ask you about it next time.
How does PRO's on-demand access work?
PRO members receive Steve's direct contact with full permission to reach out any time. If Steve is asleep, he will not answer. Every subject is on the table. The objective is to balance true priorities, not to handle non-executive decisions you can manage independently.
What if I am not ready for the Circle yet?
Join the free Clubhouse, ask MyMentorSteve anything for free, and read the blog. When your decisions start costing six figures, the Circle will still be here.
Founder OS
What is Founder OS?
A connected company workspace: a live financial forecast with SKU and channel economics, the company story, the brand guide, competitive intel, and a review-first AI advisor that works from your actual plan. Nothing is applied until the founder approves it.
What does the free account include?
Joining Decision Rooms and Founder Rooms when invited, one lifetime host trial, an Advisor card, personal practices such as Weekly Wins, Bottleneck Breaker and Gratitude, roadmap voting, and the Clubhouse. No purchase required.
Can my team use it?
Yes. Paid Founder OS includes five seats. Teammates on a paid workspace inherit access without buying their own plan, with owner, editor, and viewer roles.
Clubhouse
Is the community really free?
Yes. The Clubhouse at catalyst88.com/community is free to join and stays free. It is the shared workbench around the Circle, Founder OS, and the rest of the Catalyst88 family.
Is Catalyst88 the $25,000 Seattle group from old roundups?
No. Independent 2020 roundups still describe a $25,000 Seattle Facebook group. That is not the 2026 product. The comparison page lays out the current rooms next to MDS, Titan Network, and eComFuel with published prices attributed.
Steve
Who is Steve Simonson?
A lifetime entrepreneur with three decades founding, buying, building, and selling companies across retail, ecommerce, and logistics. Founder of Catalyst88, SymoGlobal, Parsimony, Awesomers, and MyMentorSteve. Based in Austin, TX.
Can I talk to Steve before joining?
Ask MyMentorSteve, his free AI mentor trained on decades of his content, in 69 languages. For partnership, press, or a specific question about fit, use the contact page; serious inquiries get prioritized.
