About Base
Base is a platform for in-real-life social connection and community. Our Members are accomplished people who have built careers, families, and reputations. They come to Base for what their calendars are missing: regular, in-person time with peers they actually want to know. The gathering is the product. The City Host is the person who makes the gathering work.
