Principles

The things we have decided not to build.

A networking product is defined by what it refuses to do. These are ours, and they are in the architecture rather than in a policy document.

What it deliberately isn't

Built to be quiet.

Plenty of products want your attention every day. This one wants about ten minutes, twice around an event you were going to attend anyway.

No feed, no likes, no counts

Nothing to scroll, nothing to perform for, and no public tallies of who knows whom. Your connections are yours and they are not a scoreboard.

Privacy that's enforced, not promised

Skips are visible only to their author. Pending invitees see a stripped view.

Nobody gets ghosted

Pitches get reminders at 7, 3 and 1 days, and close honestly at the deadline with a plain message. An unanswered ask is a bug here, not a feature.

Founding members

The first rooms are being built now.

We're opening The Gantry with a small group of members and event owners across the Midlands and the South East. Leave your email and we'll be in touch about the next Room near you.

Event owners: tell us the event and the date, and we'll set the Room up with you.
