Where diverse founders grow their network, together

Melanence accelerates the relationship-building process, by curating weekly warm intros to amazing founders, creators & thought leaders.

How Melanence Works

Weekly virtual 1:1 networking meetings with amazing diverse founders, visionaries & creators.

CREATE A PROFILE

Users complete an onboarding form that shares their goals, background and expertise. Users select times and days they are available to meet the following week.

MELANENCE MAKES MATCHES

Melanence curates relevant matches weekly for all members. Once matched, we will make introductions via email. We also will provide cool talking points and the background for each person.

MEET & ADD VALUE

Users meet virtually for a 45 minute meeting. This is where the magic happens! We encourage users to be more focused on BEING a great match, rather than meeting a great match.

No fancy algorithm, just amazing people

The secret sauce for Melanence is our relentless pursuit of ambitious founders from communities that are typically overlooked and underserved.
