Hyper-focused networking for the creative sector

We're building the single place where founders, executives, and investors can find each other when they need it.  

Without the noise of LinkedIn.
Without the cost of attending conferences and events.

A networking concierge to connect you with the right people, as and when you need it.

Our Mission

A new generation of creators, storytellers, and founders are turning ideas into companies at record speed. They’re building the next wave of media, entertainment, fashion, and community-first brands.

This space is underserved by the existing start-up ecosystem. And yet there is a wealth of individual experience out there.

We connect the next generation of creative founders with the experience, insight and capital they need to build meaningful businesses.
