Hi {{first_name || there}},
We’re guessing most of the best relationships in your career in sports, media & entertainment probably started with a warm introduction.
Someone knew someone. A mutual connection made a call. The right person showed up at the right moment, and something clicked.
But at a certain point, those introductions stop happening on their own…
You’ve been in the industry long enough that people assume you already know everyone. Your calendar is full. And the networking events that used to work start feeling like they’re built for someone 5-10 years behind you.
That's why we built Arena - to make relationship-building in the sports, media & entertainment industry intentional and meaningful, not something you leave to chance.
Arena is a vetted network for leaders across sports, media, and entertainment.
Every week, members receive three curated introductions to peers who are genuinely aligned by role, industry, seniority, and what they're working on right now.
Both sides see a full profile before deciding to connect, so no cold outreach or guessing. Just the kind of introductions that used to happen naturally made consistent.
We're now accepting applications for new members through our Spring Cohort.
There are a limited number of spots in this cohort.
If accepted, here's what you're walking into:
→ May 11 — New Member Orientation
→ May 19 — Match Management Workshop
→ June 10 — Spring Graduation + What's Next Briefing
Your first set of curated introductions arrive after Orientation. Arena also comes with a 30-day guarantee - if it's not what you expected, you're covered.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and close May 8.
If this feels like your kind of room, we'd love to see your application!
Best,
Parul Khosla, Adriene Bueno & Olivia Schwartz | Arena Founders
