Make an OFFER.
Bring a concise offer—a service, solution, opportunity, or introduction that may be valuable to someone in the room.
Detroit's private growth network
Business moves faster when the right people are in the room.
A private membership group for founders and exceptional sales leaders who want meaningful introductions, useful intelligence, and real opportunities—not another room full of business cards.
Industry-exclusive · Member-endorsed · Detroit
A different kind of room
Built for the conversations that create momentum.
The Network is an every-other-week luncheon for people operating in the middle market and high-net-worth sectors. We keep the room intentionally small, trusted, and industry-exclusive so members can get past introductions and into useful work. Every gathering follows an Offer–Request–Share rhythm: make a useful offer, ask for the connection or expertise you need, and share something that can help someone else. That is how a conversation becomes a connection—and a connection becomes progress.
Make a REQUEST.
Name the contact, industry doorway, or challenge where a member’s introduction could create real momentum.
SHARE the good stuff.
Pass along an event, free resource, useful tip, or opportunity for someone else. Generosity makes the room stronger.
Purposeful exchange
“The Network isn’t about collecting business cards. It’s about creating the kind of exchange that moves an idea, a relationship, or a business forward.”Rick Van House · Founder, The Network Detroit

A room built for useful relationships.
Founded by Rick Van House, The Network was built around a simple belief: the right people, in the right room, can make each other more effective. It is intentionally small, carefully curated, and designed for people with something at stake.
