Subject: Investment Request: CTO Lunches Plus Membership ($99/month)
Dear [Manager],
I'd like to join CTO Lunches Plus at $99/month—a peer community for technology leaders. The CTO role is uniquely isolated, and this membership provides daily access to peers solving identical problems.
Why this is a no-brainer investment:
The math: One prevented bad technical decision, hiring mistake, or accelerated solution covers this 10x over. The isolation tax of operating alone costs more.
I'll share relevant insights with our team and integrate best practices into our technology execution.

Dear [Manager],
I'd like to join CTO Lunches Plus at $99/month—a peer community for technology leaders. The CTO role is uniquely isolated, and this membership provides daily access to peers solving identical problems.
Why this is a no-brainer investment:
- De-risk decisions fast – Validate architecture, vendor, and hiring choices against CTOs who've been there. One avoided misstep pays for years of membership
- On-demand expertise – Curated connections to the right leader for any question, typically within hours
- Weekly accountability – Tuesday standups keep me focused and provide real-time problem-solving
- Combat isolation – Leadership blind spots are expensive. This creates perspective and catches what I'm missing
- Continuous development – Monthly roundtables on emerging challenges before they become our problems
- Weekly cooperative standup (Tuesdays) + ad-hoc leader therapy sessions
- Private Slack community with curated peer group
- Annotated member directory for targeted expertise
- Monthly professional development roundtables
The math: One prevented bad technical decision, hiring mistake, or accelerated solution covers this 10x over. The isolation tax of operating alone costs more.
I'll share relevant insights with our team and integrate best practices into our technology execution.
