GoodGrowth
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about how GoodGrowth works, what to expect, and how to get started.
Who is this for?
Founders, owners, operators, and professionals stuck on real problems who want a small group of peers they can actually solve things with.
Organizations and leaders desiring to, or already running peer groups, advisory boards, or executive roundtables. You want better infrastructure for what happens between sessions.
Whether you're an individual looking for your first group or you're managing dozens of them, GoodGrowth is built for both.
How much does it cost?
Free during early access. Paid memberships are coming, but early members help shape the product and will always get the best terms. When a single decision is worth six or seven figures, the cost of getting it right with the right people around you is obvious.
What's the time commitment?
Our tools run on SMS/texting and in your native calendar, so you can use it whenever you'd like. Still, you should be comitted. Regular sessions on a cadence with your group. If you don't have a couple hours a month to solve your biggest problems, you have bigger problems.
How are groups formed?
By function and challenge type, not random. We match business operators who can actually help each other based on what they do, what they're working through, and what they can offer. You won't be placed in a group with direct competitors.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Everything happens via text and calendar. The best tools are the ones you already use. You text in, we handle the rest.
How big are the groups?
Small. Typically 5 to 10 people but sometimes up to 15 or so. This is intentional. Depth over breadth. Five people who actually know your problems beat 500 LinkedIn connections every time.
What happens between sessions?
The time between sessions is where the real work compounds. GoodGrowth handles prep, recaps, nudges, and follow-ups so commitments stay visible and context stays warm. You stay connected to your group without it becoming another thing on your to-do list.
What role does AI play?
AI handles the logistics so humans can do the thinking. That means scheduling, session prep, recaps, accountability nudges, and matching. It does not replace the conversation. The room is yours. AI just makes sure nothing falls through the cracks before and after.
Is this like a mastermind group?
It shares DNA with the best mastermind and peer advisory groups, but with modern infrastructure underneath. Traditional masterminds often plateau because the structure between sessions is manual or nonexistent. GoodGrowth adds the layer that makes every session compound on the last, so the group gets sharper over time instead of going stale.
How do I get started?
Text us at (716) 590-9748. Tell us what you do and what you're working on. We'll take it from there.
What if my group isn't a good fit?
We'll rematch you. The whole point is that the group works. If it doesn't feel right, tell us and we'll find the right people. No friction, no guilt.
I already run a peer group. What does GoodGrowth do for me?
We handle everything that happens around your session. Issue collection before, recaps and accountability after, nudges in between. Your group keeps its identity, your curriculum stays yours, and the month between meetings stops going cold. Think of it as the infrastructure layer your program never had. Learn more about GoodGrowth for groups.
Does GoodGrowth replace my role or my curriculum?
No. The room is yours. The craft of running a great session is not something software replaces. We absorb the routing, reminders, prep, and follow-through that currently live in your inbox and side threads. You facilitate more and coordinate less.
Can I bring my existing groups onto the platform?
Yes. We work with chairs and coaches who already have members, a cadence, and a format. We layer underneath what you've built. No one has to learn a new app or migrate to a new portal. Members keep showing up to your sessions on your calendar.
How does pricing work for existing groups?
Pricing depends on how many groups you run, how many members are in them, and what level of support you want from our team. Email us hello@goodgrowth.ai and we'll quote you something that makes sense for your program.
What does the chair experience look like day-to-day?
Mostly quiet. Issues get collected from members by text before each session and arrive in your inbox structured and prioritized. After the session, recaps go out automatically. You get a brief before each meeting showing where each member is stuck and what they committed to last time. The coordination work disappears.
What can I see about my members, and what stays private?
You see what helps you facilitate: issues, commitments, engagement, where someone is pulling back. You do not see anything members shared outside your group. Aggregate patterns across the platform are de-identified. The intimacy of the room is preserved by design, not by promise.
How long does it take to set up?
Weeks, not quarters. Most groups are up and running before their next session cycle. We onboard your members over text, sync to your calendar, and ramp from there. No engineering lift on your side.
Does it work alongside Calendly, Stripe, Zoom, the tools I already use?
Yes. We run on text, calendar, and email, the channels your members already live in. Sessions land in whatever video tool you use. Scheduling, payments, and the rest of your stack keep doing their jobs. We add a layer, we do not ask you to rip anything out.
Who is GoodGrowth for inside an organization?
We power structured peer-group programs across your org: executive bench, first-time managers, HiPo and succession cohorts, ERGs, communities of practice, M&A integration, and sales operator groups. One engine, every program that matters. Learn more about GoodGrowth for enterprise.
How do you price for enterprise programs?
Pricing depends on the program mix, the number of participants, and whether you're starting with one program or rolling out a portfolio. Talk to our team and we'll put together a quote that fits the scope. Most enterprise conversations start with one program and prove the format before expanding.
What does a typical implementation or pilot look like?
Weeks, not quarters. Most pilots start with one program, somewhere between 20 and 200 people, and run for a defined cohort cycle. We handle member onboarding over text, calendar sync, and matching. Your team picks the program, defines the outcomes you want to measure, and we run the engine underneath.
What does our leadership see, and what stays inside the group?
Leadership sees aggregate themes, engagement, and program health, de-identified at the source and only above a minimum group size that protects anonymity. Leadership does not see what an individual member shared in their group. No report, export, or admin view joins a person's identity to their content. Signal, not surveillance.
Where does our data live?
Each customer's data is isolated and never commingled with another customer's. Hosted in your cloud region of choice, selected at contract time. Modern encryption in transit and at rest. Internal access is role-gated, need-to-know, and logged. No engineer browses customer content as a default.
What reporting and analytics do we get?
Engagement, themes, commitment follow-through, and program health, rolled up across every program you run. The data ties to outcomes leadership understands: senior-leader retention, executive 18-month survival, manager effectiveness, ERG impact, mobility completion. Individual content stays inside the group. The view leadership gets is the system, not the room.
Do you integrate with our SSO, HRIS, and calendar?
We run on the tools your people already use: SMS, native calendar, and email. There is no app to adopt or portal to log into. For HRIS and SSO, we work with your IT and security team on what's needed for your stack. The point of native channels is that adoption isn't a line item.
What happens to our data if we end the contract?
On termination, your data is returned as a structured, machine-readable export on named timelines published in the contract. It is then permanently deleted from production and from backups on named timelines as well. No shadow copies persist in derived datasets, analytics warehouses, or cached representations. Certificate of destruction available on request.
