The world is driven by innovation and entrepreneurship where the role of serendipty is crucial. Many stories illustrate the impact of chance encounters and unexpected opportunities shaping the course of history.

Meaningful connections just out of reach?

Many of us struggle to come across valuable interactions that resonate with us.
A serendipitous connection is often hampered by the absence of the right setting to kindle such valuable encounters.

"Having an open network is valuable: though probably 90% of the random meetings I take are a waste of time, the other 10% really make up for it."
- Sam Altman
