FAQ

What is High Signal?

A gated, vetted network for business owners and executives. Every week, you get a one-hour live video session of eight rapid 4-minute 1-on-1 intros, with a lottery shot at meeting Salim Ismail or a High Signal Ambassador on any given intro.

Why is this different from a regional networking group or chapter?

Regional groups are in-person and limited by geography, the quality of who you meet depends on where you live. High Signal isn't. You're meeting members vetted for quality, not proximity, and you're not limited to whoever happens to be in your city.

What actually happens during an intro?

You're paired live, on video, for four minutes. If you need more time, each member can choose to extend by 30 seconds. At the end, both members choose to continue the conversation or move on, no explanation needed either way, and nothing is shared with the other member if it's a no. If you both say yes, Blip follows up right after and connects you both directly, with contact details.

What is Blip?

Blip is your personal High Signal agent. Blip handles session invites, calendar scheduling, and intros when two members both want to continue a conversation.

What time zones do sessions run in?

Sessions currently run in time zones built for North, South America, and Europe.

What language are sessions and intros in?

All member intros are in English.

Do I have to join every week?

No. One session is available to you per week, but attendance isn't mandatory. Join whenever it fits your schedule and bandwidth. We recommend at least one session a month to get the most out of your membership.

What happens if I need to leave a session early?

No problem. We just ask that you finish your current intro before leaving a session.

Will I meet the same person twice?

It depends on your last intro with them. If either of you chose not to continue the conversation, you won't be paired with that person again. If you both chose to continue, you could be paired again after about two months, a natural touchpoint to catch up and keep the relationship moving.

Can I bring a colleague or business partner?

No, sessions are 1-on-1 intros. Feel free to refer someone from your network to apply for the next open cohort.

Do I really have a shot at meeting Salim or an Ambassador?

Every intro carries a chance, it's not guaranteed on any single one, but the odds improve the more sessions you attend.

How are members selected?

Members meet at least one of the following: $1M+ in annual business revenue, a VP-level or above role at a $10M+ revenue company, or a track record of building or scaling a business to that level. Beyond that, we look at whether you'll show up, engage, and add value to our members.

When will I find out the status of my application?

Once the application window for the current cohort closes, we'll reach out to let you know if you've been approved. Membership begins once approved.

Will my credit card be charged when I apply?

No. Your card is attached to your application so we can process your membership quickly if you're accepted, but it won't be charged unless and until you're approved for the cohort.

Is tax included in the $999 price?

No. Applicable sales tax will be added on top of the $999 membership price at checkout, based on your location.

What happens once Cohort 1 fills up?

Cohorts are limited to 500 members. Once it's full, we'll start working on the next cohort, timing and details are still being finalized.

What happens if I'm not accepted?

You're welcome to apply again for a future cohort.

What if I'm not satisfied?

You have 30 days to try your membership, with access to up to 4 weekly sessions. If you don't find it valuable, we'll give you a full refund, no questions asked.

Does my membership renew automatically?

Yes. Memberships renew automatically each year unless canceled in advance. We'll reach out well before your renewal date so there are no surprises.

Will my price change at renewal?

No. You renew at your cohort's advertised price, for as long as you're a member. Future cohorts will open at higher prices, but yours stays the same.

Are sessions recorded?

Not currently. If this changes as Blip evolves, we'll notify members in advance and make it opt-in, never automatic.

How is my information used during the application process?

All applicant and member information is private. We don't share it externally or with other members.

What's on the roadmap?

As the network grows, we plan to add more session times to support more time zones, themed sessions for more variety, and continued development on Blip to make every intro count for more. We have additional plans in the works and will share updates as they go live.
