Join crew - application form
Crew is approaching networking for business differently.
We're focused on improving business networking outcomes with more intentional connections that feel a lot less cringe along the way.
With over 100 vetted members now in crew, our success includes:
- 30+ business collaborations and sales (in a less pushy way) within our first 6 months
- Increasing visibility for our members in media features and social media shoutouts
- Built up a genuinely supportive community of people in business (you feel less like a stranger and get to know others on a deeper level).
If you are interested in joining crew, we welcome you to apply below.
Expect to hear back within 1-3 weeks of applying. We personally review each application to understand who would make a good fit.
What to know before you apply:
* Membership price for crew is 500aed/ month or if you prefer to pay annually we offer 5000aed which includes 2 months free.
- Personalised warm intros from your own business matchmaker on retainer

Who we are looking for:
We’re curating for the right mix of industries, experience and how you could match & help the current crew
