About the group
Seven owners who decided building alone was the harder way.
Meridian is a peer network of independent US technology companies. This is where we came from and what we stand for.
Our story
It started with a handshake between two founders
Two owners trading referrals became three, then five, then seven. What began as informal calls turned into a structured network with shared standards, regular sessions, and real accountability.
Today every member runs an independent company — but none of us makes the big decisions alone. Placeholder copy: swap in your real founding story.
What we stand for
Four principles behind every decision
01
Give First
Referrals, advice, and introductions flow before anyone asks what’s in it for them.
02
Radical Candor
Owners tell each other the truth — about pricing, people, and mistakes.
03
Independence
Every member runs their own company. The network strengthens, never controls.
04
One Standard
A referral from one member carries the reputation of all seven.
