Watch this week's video update for a peek at Joe and Jesse catching up with our Jeweler from Puerto Rico (Marina Reyes Franco) while she storms through Chelsea on her way back home via Berlin, as well as Kunal burning the midnight oil on speed-scaling ahead of our launch with Elsewhere (he's now in Tokyo!) and Martha reporting in from Peru, following a return from the jungle which has yeilded some fantastic new design insights for the next round of feature upgrades!


...but more importantly, we're celebrating a big milestone next week!

Monday, June 18th 6-10p

RSVP Here: Withfriends Rooftop Party

When Withfriends first launched in the fall of 2017, co-founders Kunal GuptaMartha Hipley, and Joe Ahearn all believed that it was possible to help preserve culture throughout New York and beyond by making it as easy as possible to become a member of your favorite neighborhood spaces, and halfway through 2018 this is becoming a reality. To the 2300+ members and 100+ organizers on Withfriends that are supporting culture in throughout our cities - Thank you! 

Withfriends is thrilled to announce that Elsewhere is launching their own membership program on Withfriends. With its’ roots in the same DIY community that inspired this company, we share their belief in finding ways to scale culture sustainably and are looking forward to exploring with them how to make a space feel like home to it's most dedicated followers.

To celebrate, we’re throwing a party on their incredible new rooftop! If you're currently a member of any organization on Withfriends, or one of the tireless organizers running a Withfriends account, or one of the inspired investors who is now part of our story for as little as $100, this party is for you! You can also enter by becoming a member of Elsewhere today as you RSVP.

We're flying in Fat Tony to dj and host the evening. We’ve been following his exploits since he began touring the country with the DIY scene in his hometown Houston, TX as his home base, and Withfriends shares his love for Mexico City, where he regularly threw parties alongside Material Art Fair. He now holds it down in LA, and has become one of the newest additions to our Jeweling Network. What’s that? Passionate artists, organizers, and community members who find our cities' gems all around us and help them shine!

So join us on Monday, June 18th to toast with everyone who believes in preserving your city’s culture. Haven’t yet joined us at Withfriends? It’s easy!
