All I can say is that there are memberships that cost tens of thousands of dollars.What I tell people is find a local investor and take them to  a nice lunch for 30 bucks and see if it goes well. 30 bucks no harm no foul. 25,000 to a membership not working out possibly is a huge deal for many.

There are a few local meetups in the area, I would recommend going to some.
