A geo-enabled networking app that helps financial services professionals to make more valuable professional connections in less time. Users can discover new connections, host and attend relevant industry events and engage in a supportive community. How to use Sphere: 1) Create a profile – remember this isn’t LinkedIn, so we want to know about the non-professional you too. Include your hobbies and interests to maximise the potential of being matched with like-minded professionals. 2) Navigate to ‘Set Sphere Suggestions’ on the central S button and select your preferences. Sphere App will do a lot of the thinking for you when it comes to networking, working hard in the background to suggest relevant users that we think you'll benefit from connecting with. So make sure to spend a bit of time setting up your preferences so we can make our suggestions as helpful as possible. 3) Events – browse, host and attend industry events. 4) Use our 'Connect Now' feature to easily connect with a group of people in a matter of seconds. Yes, you can finally wave goodbye to clunky business cards and awkward QR code exchanges.

The social layer for members' clubs — every club, one circle. The club scene has never been stronger, but every club is its own world. ByInvite connects them: a private, invitation-only network where members meet across clubs, see who's out, host their own gatherings and look after the people they bring in. Every member arrives by introduction, and every profile is reviewed — so the people you meet are the people you'd want to meet. AT THE CLUB Open ByInvite at your club and it opens on the house: a quiet welcome, who's around, and one tap to say what you're up to — coffee, working, drinks, open to company. Always opt-in, always yours to switch off. OUT & ABOUT Share a plan — a table tonight, a morning at the club, a trip to another city — and let the right members join. See who's out this week across your network, and what's nearby on the map. Never live member locations, by design. HOSTED EVENTS Host dinners, tastings and tables, with guest lists, requests and co-hosts handled in-app, and a group chat for everyone coming. Or join what fellow members are hosting — from exhibition openings to quiet lunches, hosts shape the experience. YOUR CIRCLE, ACROSS CLUBS Connect with members who share your clubs, your city or your interests. See where your circle stands, house by house, and who you should already know. EVERY HOUSE, ITS OWN COMMUNITY A curated selection of members' clubs, galleries and private venues — what's on, who's around, and each house's own spaces: The Lounge for conversation, The Social for events and plus-ones, The Board for house news. Find a welcome when travelling. THE BYINVITE CONCIERGE Picks of the moment with a note on why, venue recommendations, and help planning your next evening. DISCRETION BY DESIGN No public profiles. Your location is never shown to other members. Your data is never sold or advertised against. Who sees you, and when, is always in your control. Membership is by invitation from an existing member, or by application — every profile is reviewed to keep the community exceptional. ByInvite facilitates introductions; access to venues and events is always decided by hosts.
