Cross boards

29 August 2025

Peer support circles between entrepreneurs

A simple idea: supporting each other as peers

Imagine a safe and supportive space where entrepreneurs can speak openly about their doubts, plans, and challenges.
Not to be lectured — but to benefit from the power of diverse perspectives.

We call this a Cross Board.

It’s a small circle of leaders who meet regularly to advise one another, share their challenges, discuss their company’s performance, and explore concrete solutions. This format is flexible, reciprocal, confidential, and ever-evolving.

Why does it work?

  • Because leaning on peers helps make better decisions — without facing everything alone.
  • Because the most relevant advice comes from people who share a similar reality and truly understand the challenges.
  • Because this format is built on trust, reciprocity, and personal commitment — with no hierarchy or dependency.
  • Because every Board is adaptable: its members, pace, and methods evolve freely to match current needs.

No complicated sign-up. No hidden fees. No fixed agenda.

Just a good idea — easy to set up, tested and validated in Prefix’s incubator.

How do you get started?

  1. You create your own circle with as many peers as you like.
  2. You decide the pace, the format (in person or remote), and the agenda.
  3. You choose what to share and receive honest, valuable feedback.
  4. You commit to doing the same for another entrepreneur.

The format is flexible yet structured (ethical guidelines + a starter guide are provided).

And if you need a secure, confidential space, Prefix offers private voice channels within its Discord community.
