About us
Make real friends with respect, intention, and authenticity.
Welcome to our space designed for respectful individuals who are looking to build meaningful friendships—without drama, cliques, or superficial interactions.
We believe that genuine connections happen in the right setting, which is why our events take place in carefully selected venues that foster real conversations and engaging social experiences—not in places where people feel uncomfortable. Our goal is to help you meet like-minded individuals who share your values and are open to genuine friendships and connections.
We value inclusion, respect, and integrity. Discrimination has no place here. Whether you're LDS, of a different faith, or non-religious, you're welcome. Everyone deserves a space to build authentic friendships without judgment.
### What Makes Our Group Different?
A no-drama, no-cliques environment where people genuinely want to make new friends.
A community mindset, where members support and uplift each other.
If you’re tired of surface-level conversations and want to meet people who are kind, and respectful, this is the group for you. Join us and let’s create lasting friendships together!

THE FOUNDERS' TABLE-An exclusive dinner for founders and CEOs
Alta Club, 100 E S Temple St, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, USA, Salt Lake City, UT, USThere is a particular kind of loneliness that comes with building something.
Not the sad kind. The strange kind. You are surrounded by people all day — your team, your customers, your investors if you have them — and not one of them can be told the whole truth. Your team needs you certain. Your investors need you winning. Your family stopped understanding the details somewhere around month four, and they love you anyway, which somehow makes it worse.
So you carry it. Most founders are carrying it right now, in this city, within a few miles of you. And almost none of them are in the same room.
On the twenty-ninth of October, twenty of them will be.
ONE TABLE
Not a ballroom. Not a mixer. Not a conference with breakout sessions and a lanyard with your name spelled almost right.
One long table under two crystal chandeliers, in a room with a sage-green ceiling and portraits of long-dead businessmen watching from the walls. Brass lanterns down the centre of the linen. Twenty chairs, and every one of them spoken for.
Here is what that changes. At a normal event, the arithmetic is against you: a hundred people in a room, three hours, and you meet whoever happens to be standing near the bar when you arrive. You leave with four business cards and a vague sense that the person you were supposed to meet was on the other side of the room the whole time.
Around one table, there is no other side of the room.
There is no cluster you are not part of. No group that closes as you approach. No moment of standing with a drink, scanning, deciding. Everyone can hear everyone. The conversation belongs to the whole table, and by the end of the night you will not have met a hundred people.
You will have properly met twenty.
THE SEATING PLAN IS THE EVENT
This is the part we want you to understand before you book, because it is the whole thing.
After you book, you will fill in a short form. It takes three minutes and nobody reads it but us.
Then we sit down with all twenty and we work out the table.
This is not a party trick. It is what the club does the rest of the year — we make professional introductions, and an evening like this is the same work, applied to a seating plan. We look for the founder whose hardest problem is the thing the person across from them solved eighteen months ago. The one whose next hire is sitting two seats down, currently unaware. The two people who have been circling the same idea from opposite directions and have never been in a room together.
Sometimes we get it exactly right and something happens that night. Sometimes it takes six months and a phone call. Either way, you will not be seated next to whoever booked at the same moment as you.
The form: https://forms.gle/QkL5J2bSGsCsHceZ6
HOW THE NIGHT GOES
Six o'clock. You arrive, someone hands you a drink, and nobody is standing at the door with a clipboard. There are twenty people; we know who you are.
Half past six, we sit. Each guest gets ninety seconds — your name, what you are building, and one honest sentence about where you are with it. No slides, no pitch, no round of applause. Twenty people, thirty minutes, and by the end of it you know exactly who is in the room and why.
Seven o'clock, dinner. Real dinner. Served at the table, courses, a bottle going round, the kind of meal where you put your phone face down without deciding to.
And then the thing we cannot schedule happens. The table splits into conversations and re-forms. Someone says the thing they have not said out loud to anyone. Someone else says "wait, say that again." Two people at the far end swap numbers without making a performance of it.
Half past eight, coffee. Nine o'clock we close the room, and every time, some of you will still be talking in the lobby.
The next morning, you get the table list. Names, companies, what each person is building. Because the worst part of a good night is waking up remembering a brilliant conversation and not the name of the person you had it with.
WHAT YOUR TICKET INCLUDES
A seat at the table — one of only twenty.
Dinner. A full sit-down dinner, served at the table. Not passed canapés, not a buffet you eat standing up holding a plate and a glass and your dignity.
Two drinks tickets, with or without alcohol. Wine, a cocktail, something from the bar, or nothing stronger than a tonic. Your call, and it is on us either way.
Coffee afterwards, and the room for as long as the conversation lasts.
The table list, sent the next morning.
No badges. No lanyards. No slide deck. Nothing to hold but a glass.Book the seat. Fill in the form. Come hungry, come curious, and leave your pitch in the car.
We will handle the rest.
