Expedited introductions to a human-vetted network for friends, love, or work.

All benefits apply equally to both Core (ages 35–55) and Elites (ages 56+) members.

What is The Table For 12?

The Table For 12 is a members-only, human-vetted community for accomplished, grounded professionals who want to build real friendships, romantic relationships, or business connections with others who share a love of great food and international travel.

We operate two intentional divisions:
Core (ages 35–55) and Elites (ages 56+). 

Same model. Same standards. Same level of curation.

Every application is personally reviewed for professionalism, alignment, and overall fit with the culture of the community. We do not use AI to review applications. This is not a pay-to-play club. We accept approximately 25% of applicants to ensure the community remains aligned.

How much does membership cost?

Membership is $1,500 annually and renews each year. Renewal may be disabled at any time to avoid the next billing cycle. All membership fees are non-refundable for any reason.

Who Is It For?

This membership works best for people who are proactive and value in-person connection. Our members are established in their lives and careers, curious, and comfortable reaching out to make plans — for friends, dating, or business.

Most already have active social lives and simply want to expand their circles with peers who share similar interests, values, and life stages. The community is most rewarding for those who participate actively rather than passively observe, and for those who genuinely love great food and restaurants.

Is there an income requirement to join?

There is no strict income requirement. However, our members typically earn $250k+ annually, which tends to align with the dining and travel budgets common within the community. Every application is reviewed holistically, with overall fit prioritized.

How Does It Work?

1. Application & Human Review

   Accepted members receive an approval email within 7–10 business days.

2. Access the Network & Be Proactive

   Once approved, you’ll receive access to our private platform and members-only group. From there, we encourage you to reach out directly and connect with members you’d like to meet. Because the community is highly curated, members are generally comfortable connecting right away.

3. Request Introductions

   See someone interesting? Ask us — we’re happy to make a direct introduction. Introductions are unlimited and designed to help you build real relationships faster.

4. Optional In-Person Events

   Attend our annual all-members dinner and additional curated dinners and experiences throughout the year in cities where we see strong engagement.

What does membership include?

• Access to a human-vetted network of accomplished professionals open to real connections — for friendship, dating, or business
• Unlimited direct introductions between members upon request
• Access to our private LinkedIn member group to browse profiles and connect directly
• Occasional member perks and brand offers
• One official annual all-member gathering
• Occasional bonus dinners and events in cities with strong engagement

Dinner and event costs are not included in membership and are an additional cost.

How do direct introductions work?

Request an introduction and we’ll connect you directly when there is mutual interest.

When does my membership start?

Membership begins immediately upon purchase of your annual subscription following acceptance.

When am I billed?

Membership is billed annually at $1,500 and renews automatically each year unless renewal is disabled.

Can I pause my membership?

Memberships cannot be paused. Members may disable auto-renewal to avoid being charged the next annual pay cycle.

Can I join to find friends, love, or work connections?

Yes! Most of our members join for at least one of those reasons.

Can I choose which group I join (Core or Elites)?

Sorry, members will be enrolled in the division that aligns with their age group: Core (35–55) or Elites (56+). Age is verified during the application process.

We will have an option to join both groups soon!

What is the time commitment as a member?

None. There are no required commitments. Members engage as little or as much as they’d like at any given moment throughout the year.

Community Standards

We curate not only who joins, but how members show up. Respectful and professional conduct is expected at all times. Membership may be terminated at our discretion for behavior that disrupts the community or experience of others.

The community is centered around food, travel, and lifestyle. We keep conversations focused on these shared interests to maintain a positive and enjoyable environment for everyone.
