Meet the same people regularly

Inner Circle is your personal circle of 8 curated expats in Berlin who show up for each other consistently. You meet monthly for guided dinners hosted in each other's homes.

The Analog Circle is the wider community which has multiple Inner Circles. As a member you get matched to an Inner Circle as well as access to community experiences like hikes, picnics and more.

All members must be expats living in Berlin. Beyond that, our members are:

• Committed to living in Berlin for at least the next year
• Willing to show up at monthly Inner Circle dinners
• Willing to host members in your home once a year
• Kind, reliable, and value deep connections

Once your membership starts, our team begins forming your Inner Circle. You let us know your interests, hobbies and where you live. We use this info to curate your group using a mix of factors:

• Shared interests: so you have common ground and things to do together
• Proximity: the closer your homes, the easier it is to meet
• Balance: a mix of genders and nationalities so you learn from different perspectives

We can't tell you all the members for privacy reasons, but here's a snapshot:

• About 60% women and 40% men
• Ages 25 to 48, with an average age of 35
• Typical member has been in Berlin for at least 4 years but newcomers are welcome too
• All expats living in Berlin, carefully selected

You can see the full member directory after joining and check us out on Instagram @the_analog_circle.

There are two ways to pay, for the same membership:

• Pay monthly: €39 a month on a 6-month commitment
• Pay yearly: €33 a month, paid as €400 once a year

Your fees cover curation costs to find the right people for you and access to experiences where you meet them regularly.

Our community isn't meant to be a one-year experiment. The value comes from staying with the same people for years. These are relationships that compound over time.

You're covered by our 60-day guarantee. Come to at least 2 experiences in your first 60 days (dinners, community experiences and 1:1 adventures all count). If the circle isn't for you, tell us within those 60 days. We refund everything you've paid and your membership ends. No hard feelings, no awkward calls. It's one guarantee per person. Read the 60-day guarantee.

If your circle doesn't feel right but you want to stay in the community, you get one free re-match to another circle. And if we can't place you in a circle within 90 days, you can leave with a full refund.

Dinners happen on the first Saturday of the month, from 4 to 7pm, unless your circle decides together on a different day or time. Your Inner Circle will meet 8 times a year, and there will be opportunities to meet members from other circles in larger gatherings.

• Arrive and settle in (the first hour): Please try to be on time so the group can enjoy it together. Get a drink and some food, say hello and catch up.
• Food, fun activity and a question (most of the evening): Your host decides if you'll be playing board games, painting and sipping, or just chilling together, and lets you know beforehand. We give them a question for a group conversation, like "If you never had to work for money again, how would you spend your time and why?"
• Linger (the last hour): Relax and stay as long as your host is happy to have you. Help clean up if you can.

Placement happens in cohorts rather than one person at a time, because a circle only works when all eight seats are filled well. Until you're seated, you're part of the wider community from day one, with community experiences and our private app. If we can't place you in a circle within 90 days of joining, you can leave with a full refund. And if your circle isn't the right fit, you get one free re-match.
