THE BASELINE SOCIAL

The Baseline Social is an application-only community for the Bay Area’s most curious minds. From SF to the Peninsula and across the East Bay, we’re done with the endless swiping and the surface-level small talk.

We host curated, low-key mixers designed for Baseliners—people who value intellectual depth over digital profiles. Whether you’re here for a new perspective or a high-signal romantic connection, we provide the room so you can skip the shallow end and get straight to the chemistry. Each guest is vetted and placed into high-affinity groups before the invitation is ever sent.

Apply to be part of the Founding 100

Back to the baseline: No apps. Just the room.

FOUNDING 100

We’re officially recruiting the first 100 Baseliners to lead our launch. This isn’t just a membership; it’s an invitation to define the new standard for connection in the Bay Area. From this group, we will select an exclusive number of Baseliners to attend our first-ever social club event—a curated evening designed to set the new standard for connection in Bay Area.

We aren't looking for the "perfect" digital profile; we’re looking for high-signal people—the builders, the thinkers, and the authentically curious who are ready to trade the apps for the room. Because chemistry starts in person.

Apply: Tell us who you are (the real version, not the LinkedIn version).
Vetting: We review every application to ensure a balanced, high-quality mix of people.
The Invite: If it’s a match, you’ll receive a personal invite to join the Founding Cohort and our first Analytical Mixer.

Your data is private. Your connection is personal. Welcome to the Baseline.

Know someone who belongs here? Great rooms are built by great people. If you know a friend, colleague, or fellow thinker who embodies the Baseliner spirit—intellectually curious, authentically social, and tired of the digital noise—nominate them below. We’ll move them to the front of our vetting queue and reach out with a personal invitation to join the founding cohort.
