## What is Dunbar148 (Dunbar)?

Dunbar148’s mission is to serve as a counterbalance to today’s social media and to foster a renewed sense of purpose and belonging. 

The Science of Belonging
The human brain has a natural constraint which limits our capacity to maintain personal connections within a group to at most 148 individuals.

Smaller circles. Bigger impact.
Dunbar148 Members connect with their favorite motivational leader, expert, or athlete in a human-sized community of only 148 individuals.

Replace Social Media’s Empty Scale With Real Community
Where people can experience the sense of belonging and purpose that has been essential to a life well-lived since the dawn of time.

Purpose Driven Leaders Fuel the Fire
The Leader shares a simple video from their phone (less than 60 seconds) of a daily activity with the Members of their Circle. Presented as “Challenges,” these tasks inspire Members to embrace small, impactful actions that build purpose.

Superfans Seeking Community Harness the Energy
Members dive into discussions within the community’s forum as they attempt that day’s Challenge, share experiences, and support each other. 

Light the Flame and Redefine Fan Engagement
The Leader can send video messages to individual Members, celebrating their achievements and giving them personal recognition. They can also share exclusive access to real-world, community-building events.

Disruptive Innovation
Subscription prices are set through an auction system. Only the 148 most dedicated among millions of fans gain access to a Leader’s inner Circle.
