2. About Fast Rope
What Fast Rope is…
• Founded Sep 2009, Dayton, Ohio.
• Small Group of trusted peers.
• Regular meetings to exchange useful
information.
• Information and relationships are the
currency…no fee.
• People are members, not companies.
• Meetings in Dayton, DC and San
Antonio. Soon to meet in Huntsville
and Colorado Springs
• Focus is quality…not quantity.
What Fast Rope is NOT…
• Not a large professional industry
association.
• Not a small focused pursuit team with
NDAs and contracts in place.
• Not a diverse mastermind group.
• Not a high volume B to B networking
group.
• Not a place to be a taker/sponge that
does not actively engage their peers,
and only participates when they need
something.
The Government Experts Round Table is a small group of trusted DoD Industry professionals that meet regularly
to share market information and seek teaming opportunities, utilizing an informal Round Table format.
