Thank you for your interest in The Kermit Collective!

The Kermit Collective is a small, high-trust community made up of leaders of boutique software, design and product agencies who share a passion for doing great work for their clients while providing fulfilling careers for their employees.  

We find that those companies who get the most from this collective are the ones who also put the most into it - by attending at least one camp every two years, sharing their insights in slack and on monthly calls, and building relationships between organizations. This is a safe space where we connect with respect and openness. We recognize that we are competitors AND collaborators and seek to share best practices that will help all of us grow our businesses and create even better places for people to thrive. 

Because this community is based in trust, we prioritize quality of relationships over quantity, and choose to only welcome a few new companies to the community each year. The application window for our July 2024 cohort is open until May 31, 2024.

We’ll be welcoming our next group of new companies in July 2024.

Kermit companies share the following characteristics: 

    • 20 - 200 employees

    • Leadership team beyond founder or CEO

    • Professional services firms focused on engineering, design and/or product 

    • Demonstrated commitment to contributing to their communities

    • Demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion

    • Commitment to actively participate openly and with vulnerability in the Kermit Collective to build relationships, trust, and share insights with others (including at least one member attending a camp within your first year, and then at least every other year after that - for this cohort of new members, you must send at least one employee to our next camp)

If your organization fits this description, we welcome you to apply! And if you’re close but not quite there, go ahead and apply anyway.

Membership is $275 per month for each company, and allows up to four employees to participate in the community. Additional seats may be purchased. You will receive registration information if your application is approved.

Applications will be accepted for consideration in the July 2024 cohort until May 31, 2024.

All applicants will hear from us about their status by June 21, 2024. Successful applicants will be welcomed into the community immediately.
