What Happens When You Apply

Three steps. Five to ten minutes total. Fully automated after that.

1

Express interest (2 min form)

Fill out the short application form — your name, background, and whether you're joining as a private individual or organisation representative. No CV or cover letter needed.

2

Rahul reviews & invites (within 24h)

Rahul reviews your application and sends a short follow-up form matched to your background — a few focused questions about your expertise and what you'd most like to contribute.

3

Complete your profile & get access (3-5 min)

You're added to your private expert space, receive your personalised Starter Kit, and get access to the GTC Member Portal — Topic Board, Credit Points, and the full resource library.

The Member Journey — What Happens Inside

Once you're in, here is how your membership grows with your contributions.

1

Access the GTC Member Portal

From day one you have access to the GTC Member Portal at topicboard.genetherapyconsultancy.com. Inside: the Topic Board where the community decides what gets written next, your Credit Points dashboard, and a growing resource hub of expert-curated reports and checklists.

2

Shape the CGT knowledge agenda

Vote on topics you believe the CGT industry most needs. Submit your own ideas. The community's votes determine what gets commissioned. Every vote earns Credit Points — and the experts who shaped a report's direction are recognised when it publishes.

3

Credit Points — your learning currency

Credit Points accumulate with every contribution — voting, submitting ideas, co-authoring. They unlock GTC's premium resources inside the Member Portal so you stay sharp on the topics that matter to your career. Think of them as learning currency: recognition of your engagement that keeps giving back in knowledge.

4

Turn expertise into revenue

Revenue comes from what you create. Co-author a report or contribute to a blog post, and when it sells to industry you earn a share of the revenue — directly linked to your contribution. When a client needs expert involvement on that topic, you get first right of refusal for a paid consulting project. GTC handles all client acquisition, billing, and relationship management — you focus on the work.

Common Questions

How long does it take to get inside?

About 5-10 minutes total across two short forms. Once you complete the second form, the process is fully automated — you're added to your Google Chat spaces and receive your Starter Kit and Member Portal access within 24 hours.

What is the Member Portal?

The Member Portal is your private dashboard. It shows your Credit Points, gives you access to the Topic Board where the community votes on future reports, and unlocks a growing resource hub of exclusive reports and materials.

What is the Topic Board?

The Topic Board is where experts shape what the network writes next. You can submit ideas for reports you believe the CGT community needs, and vote on topics others have submitted. The community decides what gets commissioned. Experts who contributed to a report get co-author credit, earn Credit Points, and are first in line for any consulting work that report generates.

What are Credit Points?

Credit Points are how we recognise contributions to the network. You earn them by being an active member — voting on topics, submitting ideas, co-authoring reports. More contributions unlock more resources in the Member Portal and more consulting opportunities.

What is Founding Expert status?

Founding Expert is the highest recognition in the network — earned by the most active contributors. It's permanent credit as someone who helped build the network's knowledge base from the ground up. Founding Experts get priority for consulting projects and are permanently credited across GTC's published content.

How do I earn?

When a report you helped create is purchased by industry, you earn a share of the revenue — directly linked to your contribution and participation. When clients need direct expert involvement on that topic, you get first right of refusal for paid consulting projects. You can contribute anonymously and still receive revenue share and consulting offers — visibility is your choice. GTC handles all client acquisition, relationship management, and billing.

What are the participation commitments?

There's no mandatory commitment. Contributions are opt-in — vote on topics, submit ideas, co-author reports, or take on consulting work when opportunities fit you. The more you contribute, the more CP you earn and the more consulting opportunities you'll be invited to. Quality and availability matter more than volume.

How much time does this require?

Entirely flexible. Voting on a topic takes minutes. Co-authoring a report might take a few hours spread over weeks. Consulting project involvement is negotiated case by case. You set your own availability — there's no minimum.

Can I do this while job hunting or employed full-time?

Absolutely. Many members join while between roles or employed — contributing in their own time to build authority and side income. Your CP and author credits remain yours regardless of your employment status.

Can I leave and return to the network?

Complete flexibility. Take a job, take breaks, return when ready. Your Credit Points and author credits don't expire. No pressure, no penalties.

Will clients know which experts worked on their project?

No. GTC acts as prime contractor on all client engagements. Clients interact with Rahul — experts work behind the scenes as subcontractors. Your involvement is confidential unless you choose to disclose it independently.
