Forget mindless scrolling—Curated Community is here to make meeting like-minded people effortless, meaningful, and fun. The high-end, chic, lifestyle-led members-only social network is redefining how young professionals and expats connect. Launched as a London-focused app with Gen Zs and young millennials in mind, Curated Community is like a members’ club in your pocket—only smarter. Every user is manually verified, ensuring authenticity and an elevated experience. Unlike traditional social platforms, there are no swipes, no superficial metrics—just real, curated connections built on shared interests, not demographics.
“Digital connections often feel surface-level. We built Curated Community to change that,” says founder Lisa Golukhova, a 25-year-old entrepreneur and St Andrews graduate who grew up in Switzerland. “It’s not just about networking—it’s about creating meaningful friendships that inspire and empower.”
Curated Community functions more like a social springboard than a destination. It sparks interaction: members explore new ways to identify people they’re likely to hit it off with and then connect with them in person. With Curated Community being an app that actively encourages members to take interaction offline, it takes matchmaking to the next level—using AI-driven insights and playful daily quiz questions to refine each user’s profile. The more you engage, the better the app understands what (and who) you’re looking for, helping to solidify connections that make sense.
In addition to nurturing organic, real-life connections, Curated Community provides in-the-know city guides for major international destinations, offering members a curated selection of stylish, safe and community-approved spaces to meet, socialise and be a part of the it spots on the local scene.
“We also have ambitious plans for the next few months to create even more opportunities for our members to connect. The community is at the heart of what we do and what we stand for and, because of this, we are also looking at a significant portion of future membership fees going to small, local and impactful charities that might not otherwise get the spotlight,” said Lisa Golukhova, Founder of Curated Community
The future? Even more opportunities for members to connect, both online and off. Watch this space.
