The exclusive community for elite Main Street owners and Silicon Valley builders.

Club Americana

What We Do

The U.S. runs on small and midsized businesses.

But Silicon Valley has mostly focused on the white-collar world.

At Club Americana, we’re changing that.

We unite America’s top Main Street owners with the AI founders building in their industries — to help shape what comes next, together.

Examples of people in the network:

  • A 3x Main Street tech entrepreneur with an exit to a public $1B+ SMB tech leader, now building his 3rd Main Street company.

  • A trades owner doing $100M+ in revenue, with multiple exits to private equity.

  • A healthcare executive leading top nursing homes across the Mid-Atlantic, serving thousands of patients.

How It Works

Club Americana is a curated, invite-only community that connects elite Main Street owners and operators ($4M–$100M+ revenue), industry partners, and Silicon Valley founders building AI specifically for their industries (trades, healthcare, hospitality, etc.).

We host private, industry-tailored events — small dinners, panels, and working sessions (8–15 people max) designed for unfiltered conversations, real feedback, and lasting relationships.

For AI Founders

3. Market Intelligence You Can't Google: Hear what owners actually need, how they evaluate tools, and what's broken in their workflows—straight from the source.

Questions

  • Club Americana is a private network connecting elite Main Street owners and operators with Silicon Valley founders building for the real economy.

    It’s built for:

    • SMB owners and operators running meaningful, real-world businesses

    • Founders building technology for Main Street industries like trades, healthcare, hospitality, and services

    Our goal is to give SMB operators a seat at Silicon Valley’s table — shaping what gets built, validating what matters, and creating real collaboration between builders and buyers.

  • For SMB owners and operators, we generally look for businesses that are:

    • U.S.-based

    • At least $5M-$100M+ in revenue or 30+ employees

    • Led by owner-operators

    For Silicon Valley founders:

    • Building technology for Main Street industries

    • Seed, Series A/B, or Growth

    Members are selected via:

    • Direct invitations

    • Referrals from existing members

    • A short application reviewed by the Americana team

    If you’re unsure whether you qualify, still apply. We’ll review your application and determine if it’s a fit.

  • We currently work most closely with:

    • Trades & Home Services (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping)

    • Healthcare (dental practices, home care agencies, clinics, medspas)

    • Hospitality (restaurants, hospitality groups, boutique hotels)

    • Agriculture (farms, growers, ranchers)

    • Industrial & Logistics (logistics, warehousing, fleet, industrial services)

    • Professional Services (local law firms, accounting firms, advisory practices)

    • Real Estate & Construction (property managers, owner-operators, real estate services)

    If you operate in the real economy doing hands-on, complex work, Club Americana is likely a fit.

    Not sure you qualify? Apply anyway—we review every application.

  • Yes. Member referrals are welcome and encouraged.

  • Membership is currently free.

    This community is designed to maximize signal and collaboration.

  • Participation varies, but typically includes:

    • Small, private dinners and industry-specific gatherings

    • Panels and working sessions with founders and operators

    Club Americana is a community and collaboration layer, not a traditional accelerator or fund.

    In select cases, relationships formed through the network may lead to advisory roles, pilots, or investments — but capital is never the starting point.

  • Club Americana is designed to be high-signal and low-time-commitment.

    There are no mandatory meetings or programs. Members engage when it’s relevant and valuable to them.
