Why we built Satius:

Designing for connection in a disconnected world

In a time of hyperconnectivity, we’re lonelier than ever. We carry hundreds of digital “friends” in our pockets, yet still find ourselves searching for real connection—especially when we land in a new city, work remotely, or crave the kind of conversation that doesn’t begin with, “What do you do?”

We built Satius because we needed something that didn’t exist: a private members' club designed not around influence or exclusivity, but around intention. A way to move through the world and meet people who share your values, your pace, your energy. A map—not of attractions—but of alignment.

This is the story of why Satius exists.

The problem:
A world that’s always on, yet rarely present

Digital platforms promised connection. What they delivered was overexposure.

Social networking apps, dating platforms, and digital communities may help us stay in touch, but they rarely help us feel in touch.
We’ve seen this firsthand:

• You move to a new city but don’t know where to go or with whom.
• You want to meet like-minded creatives, founders, or explorers, but get lost in endless group chats and empty DMs.
• You’re traveling solo, or working remotely, and feel isolated despite being surrounded by people.

The problem isn’t access. It’s alignment. The internet gave us quantity. What we need now is quality.

Our vision:
A life designed around alignment, not algorithms

Satius is our answer to this modern dilemma. We didn’t want another social feed. We wanted a new kind of presence, one defined by taste, trust, and intention.

So we imagined a platform that would:

• Show you beautiful, curated places handpicked by people who share your values
• Help you discover aligned individuals, without the awkwardness of swiping or cold outreach
• Create opportunities for offline encounters, natural, thoughtful, and rooted in shared energy
• Offer this experience in cities across Europe, whether it’s your home base or a weekend stop

And most importantly: one that isn’t built to keep you glued to your phone.
Satius is designed to help you close the app and step into the world.

What makes
Satius different

Unlike traditional social networks, Satius is not about followers, status, or surface-level engagement. Here’s what sets it apart:

• Curation over crowds: Our venues aren’t algorithmically ranked, they’re recommended by tastemakers and members. Every spot on the map is a reflection of someone’s lived experience, from cafés in Paris to rooftops in Ibiza.
• Members, not metrics: We don’t care about how many followers you have. We care about what moves you. Our application process is about alignment: your values, your energy, your way of moving through the world.
• Offline by design: Satius encourages you to get off your screen. Whether you’re meeting for a slow morning coffee, joining a group dinner, or finding a quiet co-working spot with someone nearby. Our features are built to facilitate real-world presence.
• A map that moves with you: Whether you're in Barcelona or Mykonos, Satius adapts to your rhythm. It’s not about one city or one scene—it’s a living map of people and places that travel with you.

Who we’re
building for

Satius is for people who are done with performative networking and empty social feeds. It’s for the quietly ambitious, the ones who choose depth over volume. Our members include:

• Founders and entrepreneurs seeking meaningful connections while traveling or building
• Creatives and artists looking for resonance, not just exposure
• Investors and advisors who want conversations that go beyond the transactional
• Cultural explorers and solo travelers who move with openness and intention
• Tastemakers who know the power of the right place and the right people

Whether you’re in your home city or exploring a new one, Satius gives you access to a global rhythm of aligned individuals and curated spaces.

The seed
of the idea

The idea for Satius began, like most meaningful things, with a personal pain point.

We were traveling—often, and alone. We found ourselves in stunning cities, yet with no trusted guide on where to go or how to connect with the kind of people we were looking for. We tried dating apps, co-working groups, and curated events—but they always felt narrow, gamified, or inauthentic.

So we asked: What if there was a new kind of members’ club?
One that travels with you. One that you open when you want to meet someone you’ll remember. One that helps you belong, without performing, swiping, or pitching.

That’s what we set out to build.

The future
we're creating

We’re starting with Europe’s most magnetic cities: Paris, London, Ibiza, Barcelona, Mykonos, Madrid, Amsterdam, and more. But this is just the beginning. Our vision is to create a global rhythm of aligned members and elevated places—a living social map for people who value taste, curiosity, and connection.

We’ll expand based on demand and energy, not hype. And we’ll continue building a platform that prioritizes real connection over artificial engagement.

Final words:
A quiet revolution

In a culture of hyperstimulation, Satius is a quiet revolution. It’s a return to human pace. To beautiful spaces and aligned souls. To remembering that presence, not popularity, is the ultimate form of connection.

If you’ve ever felt like something was missing from your social world, if you’ve ever wanted to build a life rich in people and places that matter: You’ve just found your starting point.
