We are equal parts community, operations and technology. Our roles are as varied as our challenges: product and engineering, marketing, hospitality, experience curation, growth. We recently oversubscribed our pre seed round, with an enviable cast of angel investors and advisors.

Our iOS/Android member app is an experience discovery platform, with social features and fully integrated payments. As we scale, we see the convergence of 4 bigger tech substories: a global digital community; an experiential platform (scaling a dynamic inventory of spaces and experiences around the world); fintech innovation; AI/personalization.
