About POSH

Humans are fundamentally social creatures, but the largest social companies today have evolved into purely digital content providers, exacerbating the isolation, loneliness, and mental health challenges plaguing our society. POSH enables anyone to become event organizers and build a community around their followings, bringing people together in-person to cultivate real-world human connection.

Founded by event enthusiasts and college dropouts, we've built the ultimate set of tools for organizers to manage and monetize social experiences and for consumers to find IRL communities tailored exactly to who they are.

In just four years, POSH has grown to a team of 37, expanded to 3M+ users, secured $31M in venture funding, and facilitated over $100M in transactions.
