A Sapphic Soho House
When you think of Soho House, you picture the exclusivity, real estate, the rooftop pools, h'orderves and lounges. But here’s the real question:
What would happen if we built our own?
Not an exact copy or watered down version, but a sapphic centered, culturally rooted, community powered social club with the same weight and credibility made by us, for us.
The first thing people ask when I pitch this idea is:
“How will you secure real estate?”
“Who’s going to sponsor this?”
“That sounds impossible.”
To that I say, Soho House wasn’t built in a day so step aside and watch us work.
Who we are & where we're going
Pink Sappho didn’t start with a boardroom full of white men and a million dollar budget. It started with a pink themed slumber party in my run down Albany Park apartment. No PR push. No investors. No blueprint. Just queer women in a room, craving connection that didn’t depend on nightlife or alcohol.
Nine months later, we’re looking to expand to new cities, negotiating sponsored spaces, building partnerships, creating members-only experiences, and getting ready to launch our first product.
This didn’t happen because we had resources, it happened because we had momentum.
And here’s the truth people don’t always want to hear: Real long term power is in connection and credibility.
Two things our community has been historically denied, yet desperately needs to stand on its own.
So rather than going the 501(c)(3) non profit route with limited reach and endless grant applications, we're trying something different by building a social club. Tackling the need for Sapphic connection while building a brand. A network. A cultural hub and home base that grows in value every time a new member walks through the door and feels seen.
Our events don’t run like nightlife. They run like belonging. Intentional conversations. Interactive activities. Creative encounters. Real intimacy. Real community. And soon, products that help you deepen your connections even outside the room.
Pink Sappho is, quite literally, a sapphic Soho House in the making. And yes, it'll take time. It will take structure. It will take money. But every large institution started as someone’s “impossible” idea.
We’re doing this differently, and doing it our way.
Not by basing our mission on struggle or begging for institutional support.
But by building a future where queer women don’t just visit community, we own it.
If you’ve been watching Pink Sappho grow, know that we're just getting started.
