Hi {{first name | there}},
You’re invited to apply for one of the 100 spots in Arena’s Founding Circle - a private cohort of industry leaders shaping the next era of connection across sports, media & entertainment.
Arena is a curated networking platform built for professionals who want relevant intros, 1:1 meetings, and deeper industry relationships, without cold outreach or random DMs.
Who’s already inside Arena

Disney • Nike • NBA • EA • Paramount • Amazon • Spotify • NFL • WME • ESPN • Fanatics • Meta • Adobe • MLS • ABC News • Google • Warner Bros • Twitch • Golden State Warriors • NWSL • NY Times
These early members are shaping the core of Arena before it opens more widely.
What Founding Circle members receive
12 months of Arena (starting at launch), including:
3 curated intros every Monday
1:1 meetings with people who mutually opt in
Skip-a-week flexibility during busy seasons
Full access to PowerMatch, messaging, scheduling & CRM
Plus exclusive Founding Circle benefits:
Lifetime locked rate (your price never increases)
Free entry to Arena community events your first year
First access to new features and private event applications
Early Virtual Mixer (Dec 2025) to connect before launch
Arena is the easiest way to stay plugged into the industry year-round with consistent, aligned conversations that lead to new partnerships, collaborations, and opportunities.
