Your questions, answered

Mercury Movement is our ambassador program that brings together founders and operators who are actively building — and who want to support others doing the same. We partner with emerging leaders across industries to host meaningful events, share real stories from their founder journeys, and create space for human connection.

We’re looking for founders and operators who:
  • Are actively building a company or leading within one
  • Have an engaged audience (typically 5K+ followers)
  • Share insights, experiences, or resources with other founders
  • Are genuine Mercury fans
  • Are not affiliated with our direct competitors

Ambassadors represent Mercury in their region or industry by:
  • Hosting founder events (in-person or virtual)
  • Creating and sharing content about their founder journey
  • Participating in Mercury-led campaigns and events
  • Providing feedback on product and brand initiatives

No — our ambassador program is not a paid sponsorship program. Instead, we support ambassadors through non-monetary incentives and meaningful partnership opportunities, including:
  • Event sponsorship and hosting support
  • Invitations to exclusive industry events
  • Early access to new Mercury features
  • Direct access to product and leadership teams
  • Opportunities to co-create content or thought leadership
  • Exclusive merchandise and welcome kits
  • Spotlight opportunities across Mercury channels

We expect ambassadors to actively participate by:
  • Hosting or contributing to founder-focused activations
  • Periodically creating and sharing content
  • Engaging with Mercury campaigns when relevant

Ambassadors participate on a 6-month cohort basis, with opportunities for renewal based on engagement and impact.

Applications open periodically. When they are open, you can apply directly through our website. We review all submissions and follow up with selected candidates.

Build what matters. Bring others with you.
