Hi {{first_name | default: there}},
Arena’s Spring Cohort applications close tonight and we wanted to make sure you had everything you need to decide. Whether you’ve been thinking about this for weeks or just landed here, here are the most common questions we’ve been getting…
“What is Arena, exactly?”
Arena is a vetted network for leaders across sports, media, and entertainment. Every week, you receive three curated introductions matched to your goals, your role, and who you’d actually benefit from knowing. No other network in the industry does this every week, for every member.
“Who’s already inside?”
All members are manager to VP/C-Suite executives at leading brands, leagues, teams, studios, publishers, platforms, media and agencies including AirBnb, MLB, Seattle Seahawks, Big Ten Network, Snapchat, ABC News, Warner Bros. and Octagon across partnerships, marketing, biz dev, content, community, strategy, investing, events, and beyond.
“Do I even have time for this?”
It only takes five minutes a week to review your curated intros. You only meet with professionals you mutually match with. You’re always in control of which convos you take and when you take them. Arena is intentionally built for busy professionals who don’t have time for traditional networking.
“What am I walking into?”
Spring Cohort Orientation on May 11. Your first curated intros arrive the week after. An optional Match Management Workshop on May 18 and Graduation on June 10. From there, you’ll unlock access to intros with the full Arena community, industry events, and rooms that extend well beyond the cohort.
“What if I miss the deadline?”
The deadline for Arena’s Spring Cohort is tonight, May 8th 11:59pm ET. This is the last window to join. We only have applications open during select windows throughout the year. If you wait, you won’t be able to apply until later this year. The introduction that could change your year is on the other side of a two-minute application.
“What if it’s not for me?”
Applying is free. If you meet our member criteria, apply and are approved, we offer a 30-day guarantee on membership. If you engage with Arena and don’t find value, you’ll get a full refund - view terms.
Apply before 11:59pm ET tonight. ~2 min. to complete.
Hope to see you on the inside!
