The Founders Program

You don't just join BOS.
You build it.

Most clubs sell access. Bank on Soul is offering something different — 25 people will have a direct hand in shaping Downtown Columbus's most distinctive private members club, from the logo to the cocktail menu to the first night of programming.

Only 25 Founding Member Spots — The Program Closes When They're Gone

Why This Exists

A club with soul needs people with soul to build it.

BOS is being built around a simple belief: the best hospitality spaces aren't designed for their community — they're designed by it. The Founders Program gives 25 professionals a seat at the table during the months that matter most.

Your input shapes the logo. Your palate shapes the menu. Your vision shapes the programming. And when BOS opens its doors, every guest who walks in will experience a space that you helped create.

What You Shape

Six Areas of Founding Influence

01
Brand & Identity

Your vote shapes the brand.

Founding Members cast the deciding ballot on the final BOS logo. You carry a unique Founding Member seal — a mark only the original 25 will ever hold. Your name is permanently engraved on the Founders Wall inside BOS, visible to every guest who walks through the doors. Forever.

  • Final logo vote — you decide between the finalists
  • Exclusive Founding Member seal on your membership credential
  • Permanent engraved name on the BOS Founders Wall
  • Personalized physical membership card — not digital
  • Named as a Founding Member in all opening press and on bosmember.com permanently
02
Menu & Cocktails

Your name on the menu.

Every Founding Member gets a seat at the private tasting table — tasting, rating, and shaping the menu before it's finalized. Each founding member names one signature cocktail that stays on the menu permanently, credited to you. When guests order it, they'll know who it came from.

  • Private tasting sessions — taste and vote on dishes and cocktails before launch
  • Name one signature cocktail — permanently on the menu, credited to you
  • "Founder's Pick" — your recommended item featured monthly
  • Exclusive founding member dish available only to the original 25
  • Input on seasonal menu direction each quarter
03
Space & Design

Your fingerprint on the space.

From bar stools to artwork to the ambient soundtrack — Founding Members weigh in on the design details that give BOS its character. A seating section of the club will be named in honor of the founding cohort, a permanent nod to the 25 people who helped build it.

  • Vote on key design details — art, accent colors, seating aesthetic
  • Founding Cohort Section — a named lounge area honoring the original 25
  • Input on the music programming and playlist direction
  • Vote on the opening night entertainment — performer or DJ
  • Behind-the-scenes design reveal previews during build-out
04
Programming & Events

You help set the calendar.

Founding Members pitch and vote on BOS's recurring programming — the theme nights, the entertainment formats, the vibe of each weeknight. You're not just attending the events. You helped create them.

  • Pitch and vote on recurring theme nights and entertainment formats
  • Quarterly Founders-Only Sessions — private previews before events go public
  • Annual Founding Members Ball — black tie, exclusive to the original 25, forever
  • One quarterly event where a founding member curates the entertainment
  • First right of refusal on private event bookings
05
Access & Legacy

A legacy that outlasts you.

Founding Member status at BOS isn't just for your lifetime — it's transferable to one family member, making it a true legacy. You're in the room for every major decision during the build, and your connection to the leadership team is direct, not filtered.

  • Construction milestone updates before they hit social media
  • Private Founders Group — direct line to BOS leadership
  • Input on major decisions during the build-out phase
  • Transferable legacy status — can be passed to one family member
  • Credited in the permanent story of Bank on Soul
06
Founders Round Table

Think bigger. Solve faster. Connect deeper.

Once a month, the 25 Founding Members gather — not to network, not to listen to a speaker — but to think together. The Founders Round Table is a confidential, facilitated mastermind modeled after Vistage, but built around BOS culture and the real realities of building something from scratch. This benefit is exclusive to Founding Members only — it is not available to Charter Members or any other membership tier.

  • Founding Members only — not available to Charter Members or any other tier
  • Monthly invite-only mastermind — limited to the original 25, permanently
  • Confidential environment — what's said in the room stays in the room
  • Facilitated sessions focused on real challenges, pivots, and opportunities
  • Strategic peer feedback from experienced founders and executives
  • Collaboration on ventures, partnerships, and shared resources
  • Space to vent, decompress, celebrate wins, and learn from setbacks
