So how does it work?

We’re like speed dating for women. We curate our event experience so you can walk in understanding who is in the room with bios of each attendee sent pre-event. Based on these bios we pre-match who you meet so you know before the event. Following the matches we bring in speakers to facilitate workshops that will change your life personally and professionally.

  • Before the event submit your bio in the third person. Who you are, what you do and what makes you tick.

  • Based on your bio we take it from here and find curated connections that make sense to your background and future. At an event you’ll meet two to three people.

  • The matches are 10-15 minutes each. It’s the follow up that matters. Best friends, collaborators and clients.

Come sit with us

We’ve all been to the BNI meetings that left us in tears after getting scolded for not having referrals. Or paid for sororities where we’re still made to feel guilty for not showing up and joined communities where everyone’s trying to sell you something before even learning your name. We built Second Degree Society to shift all of that. See what our community is made of.

Who we are

What our peeps are saying

  • “I used to think that I needed to be at conferences and IRL events for these deeper conversations, but being an SDS made me realize that this depth is also achievable online.”

  • “I’ve been a part of SDS since my early 20s. I love that the community is always there for you and grows with you no matter what stage you’re at!”

  • “Business coaching and networking support that doesn't make you feel ick.”

Don’t blow your event budget on venues. One of the biggest mistakes I see first-time hosts make? Spending money they don’t have to on a space. The truth is, many venues need you just as much as you need them. When you bring them their i
