Council Heads · Forming now

We're not recruiting a council. We're recruiting the people who build it.

Lead a city or a constituency, and assemble the council under you — bringing in your own people at your judgement. The heads who keep Converge honest to the scene.

Why heads, not members

A scene can't be run from the outside.

We could try to hand-pick every council member ourselves. We'd get it wrong — we don't live every scene. So we don't. We pick heads — people who already command trust in a city or a constituency — and hand them the room.

A head owns their domain. They decide who belongs at the table, bring those people in at their own judgement, and stay accountable for whether Converge actually serves the crew, the artists, the promoters, and the venues where they live.

we don't pick the council. we pick who does.

"A head isn't a bigger user. It's the person who decides what good looks like in their city — and builds the bench to prove it."
The hierarchy

Two cities at the top. Four constituencies under each.

A City Head owns the whole local council and answers for the city. Beneath them, a Constituency Head owns each side of the local economy — and a Campus Lead carries the launch campus. Every head fills their own bench.

What a head does

Own your domain. Build your bench.

01 /
Build your bench. Bring the right members in under you, at your judgement, and vouch for them. You decide who belongs at your part of the table.
02 /
Show up. A session every month or so — in person where we can, because it doubles as building the scene around Converge. Plus fast, honest reactions when we send a mockup or a decision.
03 /
The early warning. Tell us when something would land badly with your people — before we ship it, not after. That's the read we can't get anywhere else.
What you get

Status, access, and a real line to the build.

The title
Founding Council Head
You ran your city's table before anyone, and it's on the record. Named on the organization page if you want to be — the seat that built the bench.
Authority
You build the bench
Real say over who's at your part of the table — not a survey seat.
Influence
A direct line to the founder
Your read actually changes the product. That's the whole point of leading.
First dibs
Access, perks, recognition
Every feature first; whatever the community gets, your bench gets first.

No equity, no cash — and that's the point. This is about leading something your city deserves, not a transaction. Senior industry advisors sit on a separate track with different terms — see the advisory board.

What this isn't

A head leads a council — they don't run or control Converge. It's not a board of directors, not a job, and not equity. You own your bench and your city's read; the company's direction stays with the founder. Easy to lead, easy to hand off.

Lead a council

Two minutes. We pick heads carefully.

Heads carry real authority, so we choose them slowly — most come from people already deep in the Converge community. Tell us which role you'd lead and the standing you bring. If there's a fit, we'll reach out.

Putting yourself forward or nominating someone to lead — both welcome. We read every one.
If you're nominating someone, drop their handle.
Be specific. We're reading whether you can build a bench — who follows your lead, and why.
You're in front of us.
We read every name and reach out when a head role fits. We pick heads slowly by design — thanks for putting yourself forward.

The heads haven't been picked yet.

Two cities, four constituencies, and the bench is yours to build. If the scene already follows your lead, take a seat at the head of the table.
