Membership FAQs
Membership FAQs
Who can become a member?
Island Innovators is for proven founders, executives, creators, and professionals across the Caribbean and diaspora. Most members bring 10+ years of professional experience or equivalent impact — such as founding a profitable company, leading major projects, or earning regional recognition. Each member is selected for calibre, contribution, and commitment to transforming the Caribbean into a world-class innovation hub.
What industries are represented?
Our members represent the full spectrum of Caribbean enterprise — from tourism, finance, and manufacturing to the creative, marine, and technology sectors. Innovation doesn’t belong to one field; it thrives wherever Caribbean excellence shows up.
Do I need to live in the Caribbean to join?
Not at all. Many of our members are part of the returning diaspora or global professionals with active roots in the region. What matters most isn’t where you’re based — it’s your commitment to building value in the Caribbean.
What does the application process look like?
It starts with joining the waitlist. When a new membership circle opens on your island — small curated cohorts that onboard together — you’ll complete a short 10–15-minute online application. Our team reviews applications individually, then invites qualified members to begin onboarding. Every circle opens with purpose and community — not volume.
How much is membership and what’s included?
Founding Members invest $600 USD annually — and every dollar is returned to you as a Strategic Service Credit to use on professional support throughout the year. Your membership unlocks access to our four pillars: Calibre Connections™ – high-value business matchmaking Calibre Card™ Benefits – member-only rates, access, and upgrades Recognition Engine – visibility and storytelling across the region Strategic Services – members-only operational support (billed as used) Early members enjoy our most favorable pricing, with fees projected to rise as the network expands in value and reach. Think of it less as a cost — and more as your annual investment in time saved, visibility earned, and opportunities multiplied.
