Alumni Dating Club is designed for people who want thoughtful introductions, shared context, and real-world chemistry — not endless swiping.
01
Better people, fewer profiles
A smaller, more intentional member base beats infinite feeds and anonymous browsing.
02
Real-world events
Cocktails, dinners, rooftop socials, and small-format rooms designed for chemistry.
03
Human review before access
Every application is reviewed before introductions, events, or community access begin.

Apply for Founding Membership
Who can apply?
Accomplished alumni, graduate-school community members, professional-school alumni, and member-nominated peers may apply.
Do I have to be Ivy League?
No. The club is built around alumni context, graduate-school communities, and trusted nomination — not a single-school rule.
How are members verified?
We review affiliation signals, LinkedIn, referral context, and application quality before access is granted.
Is this only dating?
Dating is the focus, but the format is social and event-driven so people can meet naturally in trusted rooms.
What cities are launching first?
Los Angeles, Boston, San Diego, and Orange County are the first founding circles.
Is this affiliated with any university?
No. Alumni Dating Club is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any university.
What happens after I apply?
If approved, you’ll be added to the relevant city cohort and receive first access to introductions, mixers, and founding member opportunities.
