Curating the culture since 2011

Dynamite Circle is one of the internet’s longest-standing communities, connecting global bootstrapped entrepreneurs since 2011. This longevity doesn’t happen by accident. We’ve been thoughtfully curating the vibe and culture of our membership since day one, only accepting a fraction of applicants. If you’re interested in joining the community, please check that you meet the following criteria first to ensure you’re a good fit.

Criteria to Join

  • You're a founder

    Dynamite Circle is for visionaries, leaders, and builders. This is an intentional space for founders to share the unique challenges, wins, and opportunities of location-independent entrepreneurship. This is not a community for C-Suite executives, Heads of Department, managers, freelancers, or multi-level marketers.

  • Your business makes at least $100k per year

    We appreciate that every business has an origin story. However, Dynamite Circle is for business owners who are already established and have a consistent track record of recurring revenue. You can also apply if you’ve sold a business.

    The Tropical MBA podcast is a great resource for new founders in the beginning stages of business. Tune in every Thursday.

    If your business is at 7+ figures in ARR or you’ve had a successful 7-figure exit, you may be a better fit for DC BLACK. Learn more here.

  • You’re a global citizen

    The DC was created to connect founders running internet businesses in the early 2010s because there was simply no community for us at that time. Our first in-person event was in the Philippines in 2011, and since then we’ve had events and meet-ups all over the globe with founders from 200+ cities worldwide. We prioritize tolerance, multiculturalism, and global-mindedness when selecting new members.

  • You’re happy to give more than you receive

    Most new members are blown away by the generosity and kindness that meets them when they join the DC. That’s what this community is all about—sharing our time, expertise, and knowledge to help each other discover opportunities, avoid mistakes, and grow together. In return, you receive the kindness you give twofold.

  • You have unique interests outside of work

    Dynamite Circle isn’t just about bonding over business, it’s about connecting over unique lifestyles, cultures, and hobbies. From pickleball to painting, Hyrox to homeschooling and everything in between, DCers are big into mental and physical wellness, travel, and a slew of other interests.

  • You’re not a jerk

    In multicultural communities like Dynamite Circle, things can get lost in translation. It’s okay to have occasional misunderstandings, but not okay to be a jerk 24/7. Our Community Guidelines are enforced to ensure mutual respect and courtesy between all DCers. We have no qualms about removing disruptive members.
