We connect interesting people who do incredible things
Revolutionizing the way people connect via a global digital platform that curates members meeting in person at a bespoke private physical location.
Collective is blowing up
In under one year, with zero marketing, a small team, and only an email list, we generated $2M in revenue.
We tapped into something big.

The problem
People are exhausted at the current unsuccessful ways to meet others at generic bars, attending underwhelming meet-ups, and decades old dating apps that create swipe fatigue.
Our solution
Not another co-working space. Not a stuffy country club.
We solve this by removing the guesswork needed to connect people based on the interests they care about most, giving them access to unique and interesting people outside their current friend and business network.
Members connect on the app and meet at our social club, a private five-story brownstone located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, in New York City.
No other product in the market is doing this.
How we got here
For the past several months, my team and I have been experimenting in public with new ways of connecting interesting people who do incredible things.
Over the pandemic we created a simple app focused on connecting people. As the pandemic lifted, we furthered this mission by creating a new kind of social space.
We ran the project in stealth mode, calling the space simply, "secret," and inviting select communities within New York City to activate with us.
The results were stunning.

U.S. & Global Expansion
The new social connection opportunity is NOW
The global online dating market was valued at $9.65 billion in 2022. It is expected to reach $10.49 billion in 2023.
The dating services industry in the US was valued at $4.3 billion in 2023. This is a 2.9% increase from 2022.
The market is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.73% to reach $8.06 billion by 2030.
The average American spends about $168 per month on dating. Married couples spend even more, averaging $186 per month.

The stats show we are onto something
The future of collective
We have strong results with
only $1.5MM spent
• We created a product that people want
• Generated 30% MoM of exponential growth
• Developed powerful partnerships
With the capital raised, we quickly turn 1,000+ members to 100,000+ with the global launch of our already built new app and permanent space in Chelsea, NY.
The app generates recurring monthly revenue and daily activity by making automatic introductions, members can book events, and allows for private 1:1 conversations between members or larger private social groups – extending our global reach beyond physical locations.
The social connections our members make on the app are then deepened via experiences within our physical social club.

We repeat this model and expand physical locations nationally to LA, Miami, Atlanta, etc.
