Small social circles

Seed the offline circle you wish existed nearby.

CommonHour is a pilot marketplace for small paid gatherings in public places. Tell us the plan you want: a book circle, walk, coffee chat, side-project session, or learning group. If enough similar demand appears, we recruit a host.

Pilot trigger

1. Ask for something specific

City, neighbourhood, topic, budget, availability, and the kind of room you want.

2. We look for a cluster

A few compatible requests in one area is enough to start host outreach.

3. Hosts create the first pilot

Small group, public place, clear price, manual review, no platform payment yet.

Intent first

Not an empty events page. A way to create the first event.

Join as a participant if you want CommonHour to find or create an offline social plan for you. Apply as a host if you can run small gatherings when real demand appears. Early circles are paid, but CommonHour is not processing payments yet; participants pay the host directly while we validate demand.

The next useful milestone is simple: enough similar requests in one city to justify recruiting the first host there.
1

People submit one concrete offline plan they wish existed nearby.

2

When similar requests cluster, CommonHour recruits or approves a local host.

3

The host runs a small public-place pilot with a clear price and seat cap.

4

Payments stay direct-to-host for now; agent-ready checkout comes later.
