Where the World's Changemakers Actually Connect

People who usually meet on stages or panels, finally sharing the same space.

Davos optimizes for visibility.WeMeshUp optimizes for trust.

The Problem

What happens when the Right People
Stop Meeting by Accident?

The most important alliances are not formed on stage. They form where trust has time to grow.

We attend Davos, Forbes Summits together, but alone.

Separate hotels. Separate dinners. Brief conversations between sessions—then back to our rooms. The relationships that could compound for years expire in minutes.

We create Temporary Autonomous Zones: coliving spaces during major summits where changemakers from overlapping communities live together for the duration of the event.

Same villa. Shared meals. Late-night conversations. Morning coffee with a Global Shaper, dinner with a TEDx speaker, midnight brainstorm with a Forbes lister from another country.

"The summit becomes the backdrop—the house is where the magic happens."

The Format

Not conferences. Containers for real connection.

01

Live Together

15-30 people, one house, shared spaces. During major summits like Forbes 30U30 and Davos, we rent a villa. We live together, share meals, and host the unofficial afterparties.

02

Daily Rituals

Morning coffee, group dinners, fireside talks. The summit is just the backdrop—the house is where the real conversations happen.

03

Flagship Gatherings

Beyond the summits. Full takeovers of castles or retreats. 4 days. 80 people. Forum theatre, fire circles, living library, and vast amounts of unstructured time.

04

Night Parties

Open doors to other summit attendees. We bring members from all communities to exclusive events. Cross-pollination is the point.

The Proof of Concept

"If you know, you know." For over 8 years, we've organized big Airbnb houses for Forbes listmakers. We live together, we mesh together, and we host the unofficial afterparties that often end up better than the official ones.

No stages. Deep connection. The immediate next step for the community.

From Those Who've Been in the Room

"Real conversations with good humans doing cool things. The kind of event where you make friends, not just acquaintances. This is community building done right."

Co-organizing Forbes coliving houses

"I've spent a decade in the rooms where decisions get made. Davos. Forbes summits. TED conferences. And I've noticed something: the real conversations never happen in the official program. They happen at 3am around a fire."

In 2015, I founded Corruption Kills after the Colectiv nightclub fire. We brought 600,000 people into the streets—the largest protests in Romania's history. I learned what happens when people stop performing and start showing up.

Already doing it informally: Co-organizing co-living and party houses around the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit for nearly a decade. Bringing together communities that rarely end up in the same room.
