Join the Founding Pilot
The Gather Pilot Program is a 4-week test of curated, partner-hosted experiences designed to make showing up in real life easier without endless scrolling, planning, or guesswork.
Instead of one-off events, the pilot focuses on reliable access to high-quality experiences and validating a new way people discover and attend them.
Real experiences. Real People.
How it Works
Each week, Gather offers a rotating slate of partner-hosted events across NYC
Participants choose three total events to attend over the four-week period
Events are hosted by vetted local partners (movement, creative, culinary, performance, etc.)
Gather reserves a limited number of spots at each event specifically for pilot participants
The pilot closes with one Gather-hosted group experience, bringing everyone together to reflect, connect, and share feedback.
Participants aren’t just attending events, they’re helping shape how Gather works before it scales.
