Reimagining Entrepreneur
Networking & Meetups.
DMC is the active alternative to traditional business networking events. We use smart technology to facilitate founder matching through hikes, runs, and coffee walks. Join the global community where business connections happen in motion.
Smart Founder Matching
Get matched with entrepreneurs in your city who share similar values, personality traits & business stages. No scrolling, just people you’re likely to really connect with.
Active Networking Events
Ditch the stuffy conference rooms. Join curated walking meetings and outdoor events at hubs in your city. It’s networking designed for humans, fostering natural conversation through movement.
Find a Co-Founder
Meeting potential business partners requires chemistry. We help you meet face-to-face in low-pressure environments so you can build the trust needed to launch your next venture together.
Startup Mentorship
Accelerate your growth by accessing wisdom from experienced founders who have exited or scaled. Connect with mentors who are willing to share the roadmap and help you avoid costly mistakes.
Validate Business Ideas
Don’t build in a silo. Talk through your offer, pricing, and positioning with peers who understand the startup landscape. Get honest feedback to refine your product-market fit.
Founder Mental Health
Burnout is real. Building a business can be lonely. DMC gets you outside and moving to regulate your nervous system. Prioritise your mental health alongside your business growth.
Meet other founders in your city.
Frequently asked questions
Deep Movement Collective is a community for founders who want real, local connection. Each month, you’re matched into a small group of entrepreneurs in your city to walk, move, and talk honestly about what you’re building. New curated matches drop on the 1st, so your founder circle grows over time.
Once you join, you’ll go through a short onboarding flow where we get to know you, your business stage, energy, preferred ways to connect, and what you’re craving more of (mentorship, collaboration, deeper connection, etc). You’ll then unlock your personal dashboard where your monthly matches & meetup options will appear.
No worries, not every match will be magic. Sometimes it’s a deep, meaningful convo. Other times, it’s a short run and a laugh. Either way, every month brings a fresh group, and we’ll never pair you with the same people twice.
We’re growing city by city. Right now we’ve launched in Cape Town, but soon we’ll be available globally. If we are not available in your city yet, you will have the option to sign up to our waitlist and you’ll be notified as soon as we launch in your hometown.
Try DMC for 3 months, and if you don’t love it, we’ll refund you. To qualify for this, you need to attend at least 1 meetup in your city.
Each month, you’re matched into a group of four founders, including yourself, through a custom-built algorithm that takes a lot into account: your city, vibe, founder stage, energy, preferred activities, and the type of people you actually want to connect with. It’s not random. It’s designed to feel aligned. You’ll get notified via email and can view your current (and past) matches in your members dashboard, a space where you can explore each founder’s profile, understand their struggles and strengths, and see how you might support each other. Whether it’s a cofounder, mentor, collaborator, or just someone who gets it, the value is in the depth. From there, you can select multiple different meetup options to connect with your matches.
Founders, solopreneurs, creatives, mostly in their 20s to 40s. People building cool stuff but also trying to live well, move more, and connect deeper. If you’ve ever felt like you wanted “your people” but haven’t found them yet, you’ll probably find them here.
No problemo. DMC isn’t about being extreme, it’s about movement as a way to connect. A slow beach walk, gentle yoga, or even a deep convo over a coffee walk totally counts. This is about energy, not performance.
Your membership is global. You can switch your home city in the app instantly, making it the perfect way to land in a new city and instantly have a network.
Totally. You can cancel or pause your membership anytime. You’re in charge of your journey.
