Call it a cliq. We mean the good kind. It’s small, it’s yours, and you can walk out any time. We just think “a few people who actually show up” deserves a better word than “group.”

Founding Circle membership is $999 a year or $111 a month. Every paid seat still requires an application and acceptance. Standard membership after the Founding Circle is $2,999 a year or $333 a month.

Leading is included in membership, never a separate purchase. Any member may make the case, another member may put someone forward, and the house taps leads for new tables. Every lead must be approved; acceptance into CLIQ is not automatic approval to lead.

No — you apply, or a member puts you forward, and we decide. An application isn’t an invitation. We accept the best of the city: the hosts, makers, and people a room is simply better for having. The Founding Circle is only 111.

Applications are open now for the Founding Circle. We’re reading them as they arrive; doors open in September.

You tell us a little; we’re good at the rest. The first night’s the real test — if the room’s right, you keep it.

It varies. Some stay a handful forever; some grow big. Small is the point either way — it’s how everyone actually knows everyone.

Of course. Most people end up with a few — different rooms for different parts of you.

We’ll start one that’s yours. A full room never means you’re left out.

Everyone’s real and verified, you meet in public, and the room’s small. You’re never walking into a crowd of strangers alone.

It’s where we start. Your city’s next.
