Hi [Name],

I’m co-founding The G.E.M. Society, a private matchmaking experience being built for accomplished professionals who want a more intentional approach to partnership.

Before we launch, Fox and I are selecting just 20 people for our Founding Experience Cohort. Half will come from our existing network, and we’re personally inviting a small number of professionals and creators whose perspective we believe could genuinely improve what we are building.

This isn’t a promotional request. We want participants to actually experience the GEM website, compatibility journey, and paired experience, then tell us what feels exceptional, what doesn’t, and what we should improve before opening GEM more broadly.

Your perspective specifically stood out to us because of [personalized reason].

For the paired portion, participants would need to be currently single and open to participating in a private compatibility experience. There is no expectation of a romantic outcome and no obligation to post about GEM.

If that sounds interesting and the timing fits, I’d love to send you the private overview.

Best,
Deneice
