As you know, All Day Buffet is an incubator for social innovation.  We partner with entrepreneurs to connect, develop, and launch purpose-driven ventures.  Today, we’re happy to announce the launch of By/Association.

By/Association is a private service for personal introductions to remarkable people. We hand select our members for their exceptional creativity, vision, and cross-disciplinary networks.

We then introduce them to each other. Because when two amazing people get together, their potential impact grows and the world changes shape.

Our goal is to reinvent the traditional notion of “networking” by enabling substantive interactions and long-term relationships.  By/Association is for people who want to make their lives, ideas, and networks richer by meeting other remarkable people. It’s not about getting help with your current need or project. It’s about connecting to people that make you better — to inspire more action, better ideas, and new ways of seeing the world.  The impact you have in your life is shaped by the people you meet. We simply seek to accelerate that process in a powerful, meaningful way.

Why you?  Because that’s where a better world begins.

We are opening up membership in New York City and San Francisco this summer and plan on expanding By/Association to every major city around the world.  As a gift, the first few accepted will be established as the “100 founding members” for their city, which includes waived membership dues through 2009.

After you apply and are accepted, you’ll receive one monthly introduction to another remarkable person in your city– all based on complimentary interests, goals, passions, and skills. And naturally with each introduction your own personal network will begin to grow.

Big thanks to all of our partners on creating and developing By/Association including Red Antler, Crush+Lovely, and ArtPlugDesign!!
