A new group out of Washington, D.C., aims to offer an alternative to longstanding executive networks like the Business Roundtable, but with a MAGA makeover.
American Growth Partnership, founded by several former Republican campaign and congressional aides, will offer monthly briefings and off-the-record roundtable discussions between its members and Trump appointees, aides and policymakers.
The group will start this month. Membership will be tiered and start from $50,000 to $100,000, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Its first event will allow chief executives and other members to meet with Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson. Its second event will be with Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Both agencies have companies such as Meta Platforms and Paramount in their crosshairs and are being closely watched by business leaders. …
The group plans on leveraging its connections within the Trump administration to offer business leaders briefings from officials that could help them navigate business issues ranging from economic policy to tariffs and antitrust. It will also do monthly updates with members based on their own interactions with the administration.
