Frequently Asked Questions

What is Alongside?

Alongside is a small, high-commitment group for growth-stage founders building knowledge-based service businesses, focused on Business Development Execution. Two group sessions per month (Deep Dive or Hot Seat), quarterly 1:1 strategy sessions with Kayvon, weekly accountability check-ins, and a peer community between calls.

How is Alongside different from a mastermind or coaching program?

Most masterminds meet once a month and focus on idea sharing. Most coaching programs give advice without structure to act on it. Alongside meets 2x per month and is built around execution, not conversation. The gap between monthly touchpoints is where momentum dies. Alongside closes that gap. Plus, the quarterly 1:1 with Kayvon keeps your strategy aligned with execution.

Who is this for?

Growth-stage founders and CEOs building knowledge-based service businesses (coaching, consulting, expert services, agencies) in the $200K-$500K+ revenue range who are serious about making their Business Development Execution consistent, predictable, and sustainable. Not for people looking for shortcuts or a low-commitment experience.

How many members are in the group?

Between 8 and 10. Intentionally small. Small groups create real accountability, real relationships, and real feedback. The kind that actually changes behavior.

What is the time commitment?

Two sessions per month, approximately three to four hours total. Plus the weekly accountability check-in, which takes about 10 minutes. The quarterly 1:1 is 60 minutes. Everything else is optional but available.

What if I travel or miss a session?

Sessions are recorded and available in the community. Missing occasionally happens. Consistent absence defeats the purpose of being in the room with peers and defeats the accountability structure that drives results.

How does the vetting process work?

You apply, we review your background, we have a real conversation, and Kayvon makes the final decision personally. Not every applicant is accepted. We're looking for the right fit, not just a qualified applicant.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. 30-day money-back guarantee. If you show up, do the work, and decide Alongside is not the right fit within the first 30 days, you receive a full refund. We're confident in what we've built. Confident enough to stand behind it completely.

The Vetting Process

Every member of Alongside is vetted. Not every applicant is accepted.
This is not about exclusivity. It is about protecting the quality of the room. One wrong fit changes the dynamic for everyone.
We take that seriously. Here is how it works:

Step 1: Apply

Submit your application. We review your background, your business, and what you are building. We are looking for Growth Stage Founders & CEOs building knowledge-based service businesses who are serious about making their Business Development Execution consistent and effective.

Step 2: The Conversation

If your application looks like a fit, we book a 30-minute call. This is not a sales call. This is a fit or no-fit call. It is a genuine conversation about where your business is, where you want it to go, and whether Alongside is the right room for you right now. We are looking for fit in both directions.

Step 3: The Review

Kayvon reviews every application and conversation personally. The question is not just whether you qualify. It is whether you will make the room better for everyone in it.

Step 4: The Decision

If it is a match, you receive an invitation. If it is not the right fit right now, you will hear that directly and respectfully. The goal is always an honest answer, not a sale.

Acceptance is not guaranteed. Founding spots are reserved for the right fit.

Step 5: Onboarding

Once you accept, you are onboarded into the community. You get immediate access to resources, recordings, and the weekly accountability rhythm. Your first session is scheduled and you are in.
