Each chapter is led by one ambassador. The ambassador represents their community by organizing and leading a team of individuals passionate about aging innovation with support from Aging2.0 headquarters.

• Attend a 1-hour team call each month to receive updates from HQ and provide a short summary of accomplishments and upcoming plans.
• Lead team in organizing (minimum) one event per quarter, based on themes and guidelines put forth by HQ.
• Mentor new ambassadors when called upon by HQ.
• Submit quarterly metrics report.

First and foremost, there is intrinsic value in being a leader of this social movement. As you know, this is an unpaid position and those that take on this responsibility must be both passionate about the greater Aging2.0 mission and open to volunteering time and talent. Ambassadors may leverage the community, benefit from Aging2.0 brand affiliation (aka – list your role on LinkedIn!) and also receive exclusive access to discounts and exclusive offers within Aging2.0.

No, Aging2.0 only distributes license agreements to individuals. However, a chapter can be supported by a company or organization (e.g., committing to long-term sponsorship/resources).

The time put into being a chapter ambassador directly correlates to the output of the chapter. It varies based on how much you want to put into it, but there are obligations that you must meet. Of course, some weeks or months will be busier than others, and veteran ambassadors and chapter teams generally need less time than new ones.

• Passionate and knowledgeable – uses innovation to improve the life of older adults around the world.
• Leadership skills – able to recruit and manage a team of volunteers.
• Organized – willing to follow guidelines, but comfortable working autonomously.
• Creative – constantly looking for imaginative means of connection.
• Entrepreneurial – proactive, nimble and business-minded.
• Welcoming – Aging2.0 is an inclusive community that thrives on collaboration.
• Responsive – able to communicate quickly and efficiently.
• Flexible – Aging2.0 is a startup and as a company, we are constantly iterating and adapting. It's imperative that ambassadors are open to change and improvement.

The application includes a basic questionnaire. 

7-10 business days.

After you submit an application, you will complete a video interview via Zoom with the Aging2.0 team.

Not always. We recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible, and often the first person to go through the application process is a great fit.

Yes, but you must be clear that your application is pending and you are not an official representative of Aging2.0. Committed sponsors and partners can certainly strengthen your application.

The ambassador license is a 12-month term.

No, this is a volunteer role. Ambassadors are not employed by Aging2.0.

Ambassadors can formally step down from the role at any time. We request at least 2 weeks' notice. An ambassador will have the opportunity to nominate a replacement ambassador. If no replacement is nominated, Aging2.0 will publicly announce the search for a new ambassador.

Chapters will use the Konexons platform, which is provided at start-up. Ambassadors receive access to city-specific or regional events. Once officially appointed, each ambassador is granted access to our online platform where they will find how-to guides and peer-to-peer access. Additionally, Aging2.0 provides annual in-person workshops and periodic online learning opportunities.

Each chapter is expected to host one event per quarter (minimum). Generally, only one event per year is mandated by HQ: a global startup search. Otherwise, all other events are up to the chapter team. Examples of events include Aging2-Pint-0, fireside chats and panel events.

No. If you apply to lead a chapter in a city that we already have a chapter in, we will direct you to the existing ambassador. When their term ends, you may apply to take over as ambassador in that city.

Generally, each license is city-specific. We occasionally accept regional or country-wide chapters on a case by case basis. 

Aging2.0 chapters host many different types of events, including but not limited to:

• Networking/Aging2-Pint-0 happy hours
• Speaker and panel events
• Lunch and learn events
• Pitch events
• Consumer panels
• Speaker panels
• Workshops

We require chapters to host a minimum of one event per quarter. The exact schedule is not mandated.

Every chapter team is different, and ultimately the ambassador can structure the team however they like. Typically, a team consists of:

• Ambassador – face of the chapter; only one ambassador per chapter is allowed.
• Events Liaison – organizational genius, loves logistics, pulls the pieces together behind the scenes to ensure every event is flawlessly run.
• Publicity Liaison – gets the word out on social media, master of flyers and promo emails, may even talk to local press about upcoming events.
• Photographer/Videographer – keen ability to capture moments, quick turnaround time.
• Sponsorship Liaison – comfortable with business development, building relationships, raising sponsorship funds and managing the sponsor payment process.
• Startup Liaison – often is an entrepreneur themselves, understands startup challenges, has a passion for innovation.
• Industry Liaison – knows all of the players, often brings in sponsorship opportunities.
• Academia Liaison – knows the local universities, research and programs that are relevant; able to connect and promote Chapter activities.
• Investor Liaison – familiar with the investment community, educates key contacts and promotes events and Chapter activities to key investors.
• Advisor(s) – high-level executives that may not have bandwidth to be involved fully on the chapter team but provide strategic counsel periodically.

Yes, Aging2.0 requires each ambassador to sign a license agreement in order to represent the Aging2.0 brand. The license agreement lasts for 12 months and is renewable. Once your application has been reviewed and accepted, you will have the opportunity to review the agreement, which includes standard language around brand protection, finance details, non-disclosure and liability details.

A percentage of revenue of ticket sales remains with HQ, a percentage goes to the chapter.

Event sponsors contribute funds to a chapter for one specific event. Chapter sponsors contribute funds up front for the events throughout the year. Partners donate supplies or in-kind services (e.g, venue, food and beverage, etc.), not money. Sponsorship pricing and benefits can be determined on a chapter by chapter basis, and HQ provides suggested guidelines to active ambassadors.

A new revenue share will be announced later in 2024. The historic share has been a licensing fee of 10% of all event revenue goes to Aging2.0 HQ. While we are changing the revenue share, we will also be providing additional revenue streams and support from HQ so overall opportunities will be enhanced.
