Hey everyone! I'm currently building a free non exclusive members club for you to find your people.

Saw a few posts on here about feeling isolated at CUNY and it hit close to home.

CUNY is a commuter school. Everyone shows up, goes to class, and disappears. There's no dorm life, no built-in social scene, no one waiting at the dining hall. You're just… in the city alone.

And then you graduate and it somehow gets worse — because at least in school you had a reason to be in the same room as people.

I'm a CUNY student building something called The Common Collective which is a non-exclusive members club in NYC designed for exactly this problem.

Here's how it works:

• Take a short questionnaire
• Get matched into a small cohort (8–12 people) based on your actual interests, vibe, and schedule
• Your cohort gets a curated weekly event - dinners, run clubs, pickleball, hidden spots, coffee hangs
• You see the same people every week and actually build something real

No exclusivity. No application process. No $18/event fees. Just consistent curated weekly social life with people who match your energy.

It's built for CUNY students, commuters, people who just moved here, and anyone tired of doing the city alone. I really want to build this with you and not just for you! Please drop any suggestions or recommendations!

The official waitlist is https://thecommoncollective.up.railway.app/ and we already have 75 people signed up!

Just a quick disclaimer - this is completely free. It is not a for profit business and is 100% bootstrapped and paid for through affiliates and partnerships. I want everyone to feel like they have a "friend group" and at LEAST a plan every week!

Please voice what you guys would want to see or any recommendations on how it should be done!

In school, friendship had structure. Same class. Same dorms. Same lunch table. You didn't have to try because proximity and repetition did it for you.

Then you graduate and everyone says 'just put yourself out there.' But there's nowhere to put yourself. You go to a run club once, meet people, exchange Instagram handles, and never see them again. You do a 222 dinner and meet strangers you'll never cross paths with again. You try Meetup and it feels like a networking event in disguise.

The real problem is that adult social life has no infrastructure. No repeat contact. No rhythm. No reason to keep showing up.

I got so frustrated I started building something. A non-exclusive members club in NYC called The Common Collective. You take a questionnaire, get matched into a small cohort, and your week gets planned for you. Same people every week. Dinners, runs, pickleball, coffee, hidden spots.

It's not going to fix everything. But having a consistent group of people you see every week changes something. It changed it for me.

If you're in NYC, founding member spots are open. But even if not, you're not bad at friendship. The structure just stopped existing and nobody replaced it. Help me come to where you guys are. I want to be the movement in this loneliness epidemic we are having.

Every week I see the same story on Reddit: freelancer delivers, client vanishes, vague contract = $2K-15K gone.

So I built Klauza.

It does three things:

1. Ironclad contract templates that actually hold up
2. PDF scanner that flags the bullshit clauses clients sneak in
3. AI invoice chaser — sends escalating reminders all the way to small claims court prep, working with law firms for partnerships

Just saw three freelancers yesterday lose $5K+ each. That's not normal.

Pre-revenue MVP. Targeting freelancers pulling $1K+/month who are done eating scope creep.

Need 5 early testers for the invoice escalation. DM me or try klauza.xyz
