What We Value

One circle, four values. Every member we invite shares all four

01Pursuit of excellenceWe're in awe of excellence and chase it relentlessly in our own work
02Commitment to authenticityClose kin to vulnerability: We show up as ourselves, with nothing to sell
03Openness of mind and heartWe want to grow, and we're willing to change our minds
04A deep desire to help each other succeedWe offer help generously and ask for it openly: An intro, a soft landing in a new city, a book to discuss, or an idea to test

Our Story

Circuit turns 6 this year

We started Circuit as a purely social space for peers who want to connect deeply with people reshaping the world. There are no business cards, no pitches, and no transactions.

We don't take payments or make them. Partners, venues, members, and volunteers all give their time for free, which keeps our nights free and approval-only.

Each approved guest brings one plus one, someone they believe will add to the room.

Who's in the Room

Builders first. Makers, backers, artists, and athletes beside them

We keep the circle small on purpose. We've stayed quiet since day one to protect our members' privacy, so we don't publish a roster.

  2. Craftsmen 02
  3. Investors 03
  4. Creatives 04
  5. Athletes 05
