How We Operate

We don’t own a space — we elevate them.
Each month, we activate hottest venues in Miami:
Avant Gallery, Superblue, Mila, Kiki on the River, private rooftops, homes, yacht decks, and tennis clubs.

Executive Circle Round Tables

are hosted weekly — every Thursday at 7 PM — and curated around key business topics, founder stages, and industries.

  • 1 topic-based sessions per month (Tech & AI, Web3)

  • Held at iconic venues like Casa Tua, Four Seasons Champagne Bar, Claudie’s, Mandarin Oriental, and Edge at Four Seasons Brickell.

  • 2-hour experiences include drinks, small bites, and rich conversation — paid separately by attendees.

  • Members can also request more intimate formats (2–3 people) based on specific goals or matchmaking needs.

Match-Based Networking

In addition to business-focused sessions, Executive Circle members can join or host curated doubles matches and invite-only meetups through:

  • Tennis

  • Paddle / Padel

  • Pickleball

  • Golf
