If you're an expat in Berlin... Stop doing life alone.

Inner Circle is your personal circle of 8 vetted expats in Berlin who show up for each other consistently. You meet monthly for guided dinners hosted in each other's homes.

The Analog Circle is the wider community which has multiple Inner Circles. As a member you get matched to an Inner Circle as well as access to community experiences like hikes, picnics and more.

All members must be expats living in Berlin, open to tackling the challenges of life in Berlin together. Beyond that, our members are:

• Committed to living in Berlin for at least the next year
• Willing to show up at monthly Inner Circle dinners
• Willing to host members in your home once a year
• Kind, reliable, and value deep connections

Once your membership starts, our team begins forming your Inner Circle. You let us know your interests, hobbies and where you live. We use this info to curate your group using a mix of factors:

• Shared interests: so you have common ground and things to do together
• Proximity: the closer your homes, the easier it is to meet
• Balance: a mix of genders and nationalities so you learn from different perspectives

We can't tell you all the members for privacy reasons, but here's a snapshot:

• About 60% women and 40% men
• Ages 25 to 48, with an average age of 35
• Typical member has been in Berlin for at least 4 years but newcomers are welcome too
• All expats living in Berlin, carefully selected

You can see the full member directory after joining and check us out on Instagram @the_analog_circle.

There are two ways to pay, for the same membership:

• Pay yearly: €400 once, which works out at €33 a month
• Pay monthly: €39 a month on a 12-month commitment, €468 over the year

Prices include VAT. Your fees cover curation costs to find the right people for you and the organisation of experiences to meet them regularly.

Yes. Monthly is €39 a month on a 12-month commitment, so €468 over the year, and you pay €39 today. Paying yearly is €400 once and saves €68. Either way it's the same membership, and you pay by card.

You're covered by our 30-day guarantee. Come to at least 1 experience in your first 30 days. If the circle isn't for you, tell us within those 30 days. We refund everything you've paid and your membership ends. No hard feelings, no awkward calls. It's one guarantee per person. Read the 30-day guarantee.

You can also withdraw within 14 days of joining without giving a reason, and we refund everything you've paid. And if your circle doesn't feel right but you want to stay in the community, you get one free re-match to another circle.

Dinners happen on the first Saturday of the month, from 4 to 7pm. Your Inner Circle will meet 8 times a year, and there will be opportunities to meet members from other circles in larger gatherings.

• Arrive + settle in: Your host opens their doors from 4pm. Arrive, eat some food or drink and relax.
• IC convo and cross-talk: We've provided your host with a prompt for the group to discuss. These discussions take you from strangers to close friends. Lasts from 5 to 6:30pm.
• Wrap-up: from around 6:30pm. Take pictures, listen to music or just hang. This is where friendships deepen so try to stay as long as the host allows. Thank the host for welcoming you and help clean up.

Your first 12 months are a commitment, whichever way you pay. If you decide to leave in that time, your membership runs to the end of those 12 months, monthly payments carry on until then, and the remaining months aren't refunded. The exceptions are the 14-day right of withdrawal, the 30-day guarantee and cancelling for good cause.

Our community isn't meant to be a one-year experiment. The value comes from staying with the same people for years. These are relationships that compound over time.

If you pay yearly, your membership renews for another 12 months at €400. That's the founding price, and you keep it for as long as your membership continues without a break. 30 days before the renewal date we email you a reminder: carry on yearly (nothing to do) or switch to monthly at €39. You can also cancel any time before the renewal date, and then nothing is charged. During a renewed year you can still cancel with one month's notice, and we refund the unused whole months.

If you pay monthly, it carries on month to month. Cancel any time and it ends at the end of the month you've paid for.

We cancel: we refund any unused time. You cancel: what comes back depends on where you are in your membership.

Use Verträge hier kündigen in the footer of every page (you sign in with your member email first), or email bolu@theanalogcircle.com. No particular wording is needed. You get a receipt straight away, and we confirm once we've checked it. Your membership then ends on the earliest date our terms allow.

Placement happens in cohorts rather than one person at a time, because a circle only works when all eight seats are filled well. Until you're seated, you're part of the wider community from day one, with community experiences and our private app. And if your circle isn't the right fit, you get one free re-match.
