What is VETTED?
VETTED is a private online community curated for accomplished, grounded professionals, ages 35–55, who love great food, international travel and meeting like-minded people. In addition, VETTED members must be proactive about their social life, not afraid to message on their own or ask us for an email introduction, and must be intentional about meeting in person and making time in their schedules.
Relationship status is irrelevant - VETTED members join for friendship, love, or business connections.
We accept about one in four applicants as we strive to keep our community aligned.
Every application is read by a human. No AI, ever. Affording the fee doesn't get you in either. We don’t have a pay to play path.

Why we built this
We began as a dinner club called The Table For 12 but our members were often pulled away last minute and weren’t able to make it to make to many of our live events. We got request after request for a way that our members could maintain their busy schedules and still have access to our VETTED community of members so they could make their own connections and meet on their own time.
So we pivoted and VETTED was born. Same members, same criteria, same vibe and mission.
Who fits VETTED
You're established in your career. You travel often. You care about where you eat and what you eat. You already have a social life somewhere — you're here to expand your social circles, not create your very first group of friends ever.
You're ambitious and established and you enjoy some of the finer things in life, but you remain grounded. You are curious, outgoing, and proactive. You are not passive in your social life and you want to meet in person, you just need to check your calendar first.
You are looking for friends, love, or business relationships, or a combination thereof.
Who is not a fit for VETTED
People who say they want to meet in person, but are just too lazy.
People who don't take much care with how they carry themselves publicly.
People who don't read social cues well.
People who are very early in their career or social life.
Full-time content creators looking for material.
People who don’t enjoy spending money on food and travel.
People who are not proactive, are too shy to message, are too timid to ask, and are all talk and no action when it comes to meeting in person once you connect in our community.
