Join the Vibe Crew.

12 months per core crew member, with a month-four checkpoint and a month-12 graduation review. A small cohort of 2 to 3 leads, by application and approval, with an occasional helper pool for bounded event tasks. One VibeLab event each weekend. ProbG and Ananya keep strategic direction, sensitive approvals and final decisions on brand, finance and partnerships. The initial pilot is unpaid unless separately agreed in writing; paid roles, if any, come only after a successful pilot and a new agreement.

A rotating four-week mix: an in-person meetup or buildathon, an online expert talk, an online build-along or challenge, and an online AMA or teardown. Swap based on venue, partner and team capacity. One named Event Owner per event, with a backup. If a speaker cancels, a prepared fallback format runs instead. A 48-event annual cadence is a planning ambition, not a reason to run an unsafe or low-quality event.

A clear timeline, from 3 to 4 weeks before (goal, audience, format, draft agenda, speaker outreach, backup format) through the days before (registration live, branded posters, run-of-show, helper roles) to event day (welcome, hosting, engagement, photo and video consent and capture) and after (within 48 hours: thank-yous, feedback, photos organized; within 7 days: recap, approved media, community invitation, metrics and archive). Standard status flow: Proposed, Confirmed, Promotion Live, Completed, Archived.

An eight-week pilot first, then a monthly scorecard: delivery reliability, online ownership, lifecycle completeness, attendance quality, community contribution, experience and workload sustainability. An event counts toward graduation only when it actually happened, has credible attendance and participation, has the required records and passes agreed quality gates. Event count alone is not enough.

Month 0 entry (application, selection, agreement, access, baseline skills). Months 1 to 2: learn, by shadowing, co-hosting and assisting with promotion and reporting. Months 3 to 4: own, by leading events with full lifecycle accountability. Months 5 to 11: operate independently, improve the playbooks and support newcomers. Month 12: review your portfolio against the graduation gates. Vibe Mentor status is recognition, not a promise of pay, revenue share or ongoing work.

Before you start there is a short, understandable agreement covering: the nature and duration of the relationship and realistic time commitment; scope of responsibilities and the right to decline or hand over tasks with notice; unpaid pilot terms; permitted use of the VibeLab name, logos, accounts and templates; a code of conduct with respectful, anti-harassment community moderation; participant privacy, with only necessary information collected and photo and video consent respected; ownership and licensing of created event materials; no authority to sign contracts or make financial commitments without approval; and a fair review, withdrawal and exit process. These are drafting principles, not legal advice.
