House rules

How doubles works.

Four moves. No swiping. The rules are simple because the night should be effortless — we obsess over the details so you don't have to.

Step 0101

Bring your MVP.

One you'd trust to set you up. Opposite sex, single, and as interesting as you are. The doubles format is the whole point — it changes how you walk into the room.

Step 0202

We handle the choreography.

Thirty singles, curated by us, in a beautiful private home. The room is small enough to remember faces and big enough to find chemistry. Every conversation is intentional.

Step 0303

We obsess over details.

Catered bites from one of SF's favorite kitchens, a hand-picked wine list, and the kind of music that makes a room loosen up. No mixers. No matchmakers with clipboards.

Step 0404

Leave with more than you came with.

The real kind. Some end the night with breakfast plans. Some leave with a new collaborator, a new friend, or both. Either way, it's a night well spent.

What's different

The Volley.

Every Doubles night opens with a fireside chat and a long Q&A featuring a world-class founder, investor, or operator. By dinner, every guest has heard every other guest say something interesting — the room is already warm.

The format

Why this works.

No awkward introductions. No name-tag energy. Everyone arrives focused on the same story, so the room is loose by the time the wine pours. Even if you don't exchange numbers, you'll leave inspired.

  • 6:00 — 6:30 Doors & mingling Doors open. Upbeat jazz, golden-hour light, bay views — and a glass in your hand inside ninety seconds. Thirty minutes to find your footing before the room sits.
  • 6:30 — 6:45 The fireside A 15-minute opening chat with our speaker — the story, the lessons, the candor.
  • 6:45 — 7:30 The Q&A 45 minutes for the room. Every question heard is a thread for dinner.
  • 7:30 — 9:00 Open-buffet dinner Grazing plates, hand-picked wine, and a room that moves — half standing, half sitting, easy to find the people worth finding.

Why we built this

We got tired of apps and algorithms.

We're founders who understand what it's like to be selective about who you spend time with. Doubles is the alternative we wish existed — intentional, human, and worth showing up for.

Vol. 01 · TBA

A founding seat reserved for you.

Real stories will live here after June 21. Until then, we're saving three seats for the founding voices of Doubles.

Vol. 01 · TBA

No stock photos. No made-up quotes.

We'd rather wait than fake it. After Vol. 01, we'll share the words of the people who were actually there.
