Most people you meet now come through work. Events feel like luck. And most conversations end with a next step, not a new friend.
Inner Circle brings exceptional people beyond your usual circles within reach, creating space for relationships that grow more meaningful with time.
Get Considered →We look for people with substance beyond the résumé.
Curious minds, accomplished lives, generous spirits.
People with stories worth hearing and ideas worth sharing. Every Monday, we handpick one person we think you should know. If you both say yes, we make the introduction.
And wherever you travel, your Circle travels with you, with access to introductions in cities around the world.
One person, picked for you, lands in your inbox. A few lines on who they are.
Nobody is introduced without both saying yes first. Pass with one tap and nobody is told you said no.
No endless back-and-forth. We help you find a time.

Four handpicked people a month, one every Monday. Meet the ones you both say yes to.
Travel mode. Flexible scheduling. Pause anytime.
Get Considered →Founders, investors, executives, entrepreneurs and operators across industries, from tech and finance to hospitality, real estate and consumer goods, all with substance beyond the résumé. Every member is approved by our team, so the person you meet came through the same door you did. We’re strongest in Singapore and Southeast Asia, with introductions made across Asia Pacific, the US, Europe, the Middle East and India.
That’s who it’s for. Most of our members already have established networks and meet people all the time, through their own outreach, invitations and events. But those introductions tend to come from the same rooms, the same industry and the same few people who think to connect you. Inner Circle adds one you wouldn’t have found on your own, with none of the outreach on your side. And it’s consistent, not occasional: the best meetings usually depend on luck, or on someone remembering to connect you. Ours arrive every Monday. Sometimes it’s someone in your world. Often it’s a hotelier for the fund partner, or an M&A director for the climate founder.
Every Monday at 6PM SGT, one person picked for you lands in your inbox. Say yes or pass with one tap. If you both say yes, we make the introduction and help you find a time. We learn from every answer to pick better next time.
We recommend meeting in person if you’re in the same city. After all, the best conversations rarely happen on a screen. For busy sprints and connections in other countries, a video call keeps things moving.
Your Circle travels with you. Use travel mode and we’ll look for introductions in the city you’re heading to.
Skip a week or pause when life gets full.
Yes. Members are not listed, searchable, or browsable. Before you both say yes, the other person sees only a short description of you, never your name. Nothing is shared without both sides agreeing.
US$49 a month for four handpicked introductions, one every Monday.
