A social network you can only join in person.

There’s no sign-up link and no download-and-browse. The only door in is showing up somewhere real and scanning in.

Every night you show up adds a branch, and the room stays reachable after the lights come on.

For attendees

Find the night that’s you, and come through.

Shelby is where the people you meet in a room stay in your life.

Go to shelby.live, find your night, walk in and scan. Once you’re in, you’re in the network.
  • How you joinScan your pass at the door of any Shelby night.
  • Who you seeOnly people who were in the same rooms as you.
  • Dry nightsMost nights are alcohol-free. It’s a considered choice: people remember each other.

For hosts

Your event, your audience, your brand.

You bring the night. Shelby keeps everyone who came connected to it, and to you.

You’re not just filling a room for one night. You’re growing something that keeps working after the event ends.
  • Instant payoutsTicket money lands the moment it’s paid, not weeks later.
  • Door check-inStaff scan guests in from any phone. The scan is the membership.
  • The room stays reachableEveryone who came is on your tree for the next night you throw.

A customer list, not a follower count.

Put a Shelby card by the register. The people who scan it become regulars you can actually reach.

Every person who scans is someone who actually ate there. Not a like, not an impression. A customer.
  • The QR cardA small card at checkout. Guests scan it with their receipt.
  • Flat fee per signupShelby pays you for each verified signup your counter brings in.
  • Your marginNothing comes out of it. No discounts, no commission, no ad spend.

For founding members

Fill the counter, and we open the doors.

A city opens when enough people commit to show up. Founding members are the first room.

Every founding member moves the number. When it hits the line, the first nights go on the calendar.
  • Locked founding rate$8/mo, locked for as long as you’re a member.
  • Refund windowFull refund within 30 days, or anytime if Los Angeles doesn’t open.
  • Why this threshold500 members covers the $24,000 it costs to open Los Angeles for real.

No algorithm.

You see what the people you met are up to, in the order it happened.

No followers.

Nobody gets on your tree by clicking. They have to walk through the same door.

No strangers.

Everyone who can reach you has stood in a room with you.

You had to be there.

The network is waiting on the other side of a door. This week’s nights are the way in.
