Where MSP owners make their best decisions.
Independent. Peer-led. The intelligence network MSP owners use to lead with confidence.
Every month, a small group of non-competing MSP owners share the numbers, decisions, and problems they can't discuss anywhere else — vendor choices, pricing, growth hires, margin pressure — openly, without vendor influence. It's how 1,300+ members across North America make sharper decisions and lead with confidence.

Book a CallSame group. Real numbers. Every month.
Here's how it works.
A small group of non-competing MSP owners — same people every month, sharing real numbers, solving real problems.
You're placed in a group of 8–12 MSP owners at a comparable revenue stage. Same group, every meeting — that consistency builds the trust needed to share real numbers and real problems.
Every session includes hot seats — you put your actual challenge on the table. A real decision you're facing now, with 10+ peers who've likely already navigated it.
You report back on what you committed to last month. That loop — knowing you'll front up to peers — is a forcing function most members say is worth the membership price alone.
What a typical session looks like.
Real conversations. Structured to produce real decisions — not just discussion.
-
0–10mWins & updatesMembers share what moved since last month — new contracts, hires, exits, pricing changes. Quick, specific, no fluff.
-
10–25mBenchmarking roundMRR per tech, pricing for specific service tiers, churn rates. Numbers you can't get from Google — direct from peers at your scale.
-
25–55mHot seat problem-solvingOne or two members bring a current decision to the room. Vendor switch, growth hire, pricing restructure. The group works through it together.
-
55–60mCommitments for next monthEach member states one specific thing they'll do before the next meeting. You'll report back. That's the accountability loop.
The decisions that change when you're not making them alone.
Members stay because the peer group changes how they run their business.
Before committing to an RMM, security platform, or PSA, you ask the room. Peers who've been live on it for 12 months — what it costs, what breaks, what the support is actually like. A clear decision, not another demo.
Most MSPs price by gut feel. Peer groups change that. You get actual numbers from MSPs at your revenue stage and service mix — managed security rates, per-seat pricing, project margins — from people with no reason to mislead you.
Working through a vCIO hire, a new service tier, or a second location? You don't need theory — you need someone who did it six months ago and can tell you what they'd do differently.
Need boots on the ground in a city you don't cover? ASCII members subcontract across North America through peer relationships, not a marketplace. Trust is established before the first call.
"For me, it was resources — a place where I can ask the community, hey, has anyone seen this problem? Or I need someone in this state, and I don't have boots on the ground. That's really what prompted me to get in with ASCII."
Don't take our word for it.
Take theirs.

"Our ASCII membership has transformed our business. The peer networking is invaluable, and having a unified voice to vendors ensures MSPs of all sizes are heard."
"ASCII isn't just a great organization — it's a community whose sole focus is to help you as a business owner build and grow your IT business by giving you the tools to do it."
"Tapping into the group's wealth of knowledge is invaluable. I can confidently reach out to any member, knowing the caliber of person I'm speaking with is on par with my own company."

Common questions.
Forums are broadcast — you post a question and whoever happens to be around responds. A peer group is a consistent, small group of people who know your business over time. That continuity is what makes it safe enough to share real numbers and get genuinely useful input, not generic advice.
A 30-minute conversation with an ASCII Group facilitator focused entirely on your business right now — vendor decisions, pricing, growth, operations.
Peer groups meet monthly. Outside of that, you access the full ASCII membership — peer networking, vendor purchasing leverage, marketing support, and education resources. Most members describe it as the highest-ROI hour in their month.
No. Groups are structured to avoid geographic and market overlap. The point is to create a room where you can share openly — that only works if nobody in the room is competing with you for the same clients.
If you're actively running clients and working through real vendor, pricing, or growth decisions, the session will be useful. Groups are placed by revenue stage so you're benchmarking against peers at comparable scale — not against someone 10x your size or half your size.
