We’ve been around for a few years, but never had a video that truly explained what we do.

….until now 🥹🙆🏻‍♀️

At our core we host events to help others try new things and meet new people in the city. We’re passionate about trying to make LA feel smaller, more accessible, and more of a community.

AND WE’RE SO HAPPY YOU’RE HERE!

Shoutout to @connlinn for making this lil video for us❤️

Hope to see y’all at the next fun thing we do. taken in Los Angeles, California by @thenextfunthing

Single in Los Angeles? Tired of chatting with people online and never actually meeting? Or finally meeting and realizing it’s definitely not a match?

Skip the weeks of messaging and meet compatible singles in person.

We host multiple speed dating/singles events every week around LA.

Pick your event, grab a ticket, and go meet someone.

You probably already know what you want to build. You just need to meet the right people.

The Collaborators Club is bringing together event organizers, creatives, community builders, venues, brands, photographers, designers, marketers, producers + more.

Tell us what you do, what you’re working on, and who you want to meet. We’ll set you up with 8 curated one-on-one introductions, followed by an open mixer.

We’re excited to host another Singles Trivia Night, but this time in Santa Monica at @obriensla on September 27th!

Three trivia rounds. Three different teams. A room full of singles.

Throughout the night, you’ll rotate through matchmaking-powered trivia teams, tackle new categories, and meet new people as the competition unfolds. Between rounds, use our event tech to see who’s in the room, view compatibility scores, and keep track of the connections that catch your eye.
After trivia, the structured portion of the night gives way to a casual mixer, where you can continue conversations with the people you met along the way.

🫶🫶🫶
To keep things tailored, this inaugural event is designed for men seeking women and women seeking men. The event is open to singles 21+, though most attendees typically fall between the ages of 25-45.
We’ll host most versions throughout the year!
