Build Silicon Valley-level leaders inside your company.

One place to grow your engineering managers. It starts with free community membership: 12 meetups a year, the Leaders' Brief, the ELC Slack, meetup talks, the knowledge base and the AI Toolkit. Paid on top of that as company membership: peer circle seats, 1:1 mentoring, Engineering Leaders Academy workshops and seats at the annual conference. You assemble the mix that fits your team.

Software companies in Central Europe with engineering managers to grow. The room they plug into holds at least 88 CTOs, 44 VPs of Engineering, 173 Directors and Heads of Engineering, 289 Engineering Managers and 132 founders, counted from recorded member titles only, so every figure is a floor.

Six things, all free and all running today: seats at 12 meetups a year with 120+ registrations each, monthly in Prague plus Brno, Bratislava and Kraków editions, the Leaders' Brief newsletter that goes to 3,000+ leaders and that 1,500+ open every issue, the ELC community Slack, the knowledge base and the free AI Toolkit, talks from every meetup on YouTube, and a learning feed you can drop into your team channel. Your managers can start this month without a contract. Full detail on the free membership page.

Team Circle is €990 a seat for a full year. The minimum is 3 seats, so €2,970 a year gets three of your leaders a bi-weekly circle seat each, a secured seat at all 12 meetups and the whole learning library for your company. Two mentoring sessions a year with Marian are an optional add-on. Build it on the membership page.

Yes, as a separate program. Marian Kamenistak, who founded ELC, mentors three or more of your engineering managers 1:1, six sessions each per quarter, on one company invoice. Scope and prices are on the engineering leadership program page at marian.coach.

AI Masters, Product Builders, First-Time Boost, Experienced Leaders, and Communication and Public Speaking. Each meets every two weeks with peers from other companies, and every seat picks one. Full detail on the circles page.

Training companies rent you a trainer for a day. ELC plugs your managers into a living community: 3,600+ peers, mentors who run engineering orgs themselves, and rooms that keep meeting after the workshop ends. The learning doesn't stop when the invoice is paid.

The free layer costs nothing. Team Circle starts at €2,970 a year for three seats. Education is €15,000 a year and goes deep on three leaders with senior mentors and Academy seats. All of it is ELC company membership: education for your people, not a visibility deal. You can also build your membership with AI. ELC is AI-first: your own AI builds the package against the ELC MCP server, at the same list prices.

That is the Community Launch: ELC audits the city, runs the first three meetups under your company's name with its own members seeded in, and hands your team the playbook. From €3,900 for the Launch Audit, €25,900 for the launch. Registrations promised, never a head count.

That's the Full-year Talent reach package of the company membership. Member companies hire 2.7 engineering leaders a month from this community. Both doors lead to the same room. How ELC compares with the developer conferences in each city: employer branding in Prague, Brno, Bratislava and Kraków. All four ways to hire, priced side by side: hiring in Czech Republic.
