No.36, Stockholm Chapter
Membership, answered.
The questions we are asked most often, about the people, the introductions, the Circles and what membership actually involves.
The People
People who are intentional about dating.
They may have busy careers, full social lives, strong personalities and very little interest in spending their evenings scrolling through dating apps and bars.
There isn’t one No.36 type. That’s deliberate.
The club is made up of people with different backgrounds, personalities and interests, connected by the fact that they are looking for something more considered.
We don’t promise an exact 50/50 split at every moment, as the composition of the membership naturally changes throughout an intake.
However, the balance between men and women is something we actively consider when reviewing applications and building each intake.
We would rather slow down acceptance within one group than simply add people for the sake of increasing numbers.
The aim is to create a community with a healthy, considered balance and meaningful opportunities to meet.
No.
It doesn’t necessarily mean there is anything wrong with you. It may simply mean that No.36 isn’t the right fit for you at this point in time or for this particular intake.
We are building a specific kind of community, and sometimes the right answer is simply not yet.
We would rather be honest about that than accept everyone and dilute the experience for everyone else.
Because then it wouldn’t really be a private members club.
We are deliberately selective about who enters the community. Not because we are trying to create an exclusive club for the sake of being exclusive, but because the quality of the experience depends on the quality of the people in it.
Every new member changes the composition of the room. We take that seriously.
The quality of the experience depends on the quality of the people in it. Not the amount.
Quality Over Quantity
No.36 isn’t designed around giving you thousands of men or women to browse through.
If what you are looking for is an enormous catalogue of profiles where you can scroll through hundreds or thousands of people, there are already dating apps built very well for that.
No.36 takes the opposite approach. We are selective about who joins the club, we pay attention to the composition of each intake, and we put considerably more thought into who we introduce.
The goal isn’t to put 50 potential dates in front of you. You are ultimately looking for one person.
Sometimes one genuinely good introduction can be worth more than hundreds of profiles that were never particularly relevant to you in the first place.
That is why we focus on quality over quantity through your Chemistry Profile, human review, selected introductions, your Circle and the wider No.36 community.
That’s not really what we’re trying to be.
Dating apps are very good at giving you options. No.36 is built around helping you make better choices.
One gives you more people. We give you more considered possibilities, and a real-world community around them.
You don’t need more options. You need the right one.
Introductions & Matching
We’ve built our own AI-assisted matching system, developed alongside people with backgrounds in human behaviour, relationship dynamics, relationship psychology and interpersonal compatibility.
It works together with our detailed Chemistry Profile, which helps us look beyond surface-level preferences and understand areas such as values, emotional style, communication, lifestyle, relationship intentions, and what someone may need and give within a relationship.
Our Membership Team then adds the human review.
Ultimately, the introduction happens in person. We can identify potential alignment and create the opportunity to meet, but the chemistry itself belongs to the two people in the room.
It’s a combination of technology, compatibility analysis and human judgement, with real-world chemistry making the final decision.
Selected introductions happen within official No.36 events.
If we identify someone we would like to introduce you to, you’ll receive a notification in the app and an email letting you know that we have an introduction for you.
Rather than showing you a public profile or opening a chat, we’ll ask which of a selection of upcoming No.36 events you can attend. Behind the scenes, we coordinate attendance so that both members are at the same event.
You arrive, enjoy the evening and mingle as normal. At some point, a No.36 hostess will find you and make a simple, natural introduction, and then step away.
There is no formal interview or forced date. You can keep talking, exchange numbers if you want to, and decide for yourselves what happens next.
The idea is to bring back the kind of introduction people used to describe as “we met through friends” or “we kept seeing each other at the same dinners.”
We create the setting and the reason to meet. The chemistry belongs to the two people in the room.
Because that would turn No.36 into another dating app.
We deliberately don’t present the membership as a catalogue of people to choose from.
Your private profile information helps our Membership Team understand you and identify meaningful opportunities for introductions.
At the same time, your Circle and the wider social calendar allow you to meet other members naturally, without every person entering the room already being reduced to a photograph, age and job title.
We want you to meet people, not profiles. And when we believe there is someone you should specifically meet, we’ll help make that introduction happen in person.
The Chemistry Profile
Your Chemistry Profile goes beyond the usual dating-app checklist.
We want to understand how you think, what you value, how you live, what you are looking for and what actually matters to you in a relationship.
Because knowing someone’s age, height and favourite restaurant tells us surprisingly little about whether you will have chemistry.
The Chemistry Profile gives us a much more useful starting point. It helps us look beyond the obvious.
Circles
Circles are smaller groups within No.36, usually made up of around 25–30 members, designed to create familiarity and recurring chemistry through shared experiences over time.
Being part of a Circle does not mean all 25–30 members attend every gathering. One experience might be a private dinner for 12, another an activity for 16, and another a larger mingle.
Over time, you begin to see familiar faces in different settings and have the opportunity to continue conversations naturally.
A Circle is not a group of 25–30 formal matches. It is a curated social environment designed to help members get to know one another naturally over time.
The idea is simply to create the conditions for real connection, conversation, familiarity and shared experiences.
If romantic chemistry grows from that, wonderful. If not, members are still building meaningful social connections within the wider No.36 community.
Chemistry doesn’t always happen in the first five minutes.
Recurring chemistry gives you the opportunity to notice someone differently over time.
You might meet someone once and think very little of it. The next time, you notice how they speak to people. The third time, you hear their laugh across the table and suddenly something changes.
Many real relationships have begun because two people kept seeing each other through friends, dinners, work or shared social circles.
No.36 intentionally creates room for that kind of familiarity, because sometimes attraction is immediate, and sometimes chemistry needs a second encounter.
Events & The Social Calendar
Yes. No.36 member events are created for members.
From time to time, the wider No.36 calendar may also include a public experience, and selected member events may allow you to bring a plus one.
When guests are permitted, this will always be clearly stated on the individual event.
The private member calendar, however, remains at the heart of the No.36 experience.
The No.36 social calendar typically includes around three to six events each month, depending on the time of year and holiday periods.
The calendar is intentionally varied, giving members different ways to meet, from smaller, more intimate settings to larger social experiences.
Some are, and some events are separately ticketed.
Throughout the calendar, you’ll find a mix of complimentary member experiences, partner-sponsored events and ticketed events.
Ticketed events are most commonly dinners or experiences where there is a direct additional cost involved, for example, the cost of the meal.
Where an additional ticket is required, this will always be clearly stated when the event is announced.
Most No.36 events are members-only.
Privacy and discretion are important to many of our members, so we intentionally protect the private nature of the community rather than routinely opening member events to outside guests.
There are, however, occasional events where members may bring a plus one. When guests are permitted, this will always be clearly stated on the individual event.
That’s completely normal, and something we design the No.36 experience around.
Many members arrive on their own, and our hosts are there to welcome you, help you settle into the room and, where appropriate, make introductions so you’re not left wondering where to stand or who to speak to.
No.36 events are designed to make meeting people feel natural and comfortable, whether you arrive alone or already know other members.
We aim to release the social calendar approximately one month in advance, giving members enough time to plan around work, travel and other commitments.
Larger or more significant No.36 experiences may be announced two to three months in advance so members have additional time to plan.
From time to time, smaller experiences or partner opportunities may also be added throughout the month.
Membership Options
Residence is the natural option when Stockholm is your primary base and where you expect to participate in the No.36 member experience.
It includes the core No.36 experience, your Chemistry Profile, the social calendar, Circles and the selected introduction process.
Dual Residence is for people whose lives genuinely span Stockholm and another city, while still spending a meaningful amount of time in Stockholm.
That might mean splitting your time between Stockholm and places such as London, Copenhagen or Marbella because of work, family or lifestyle.
Your profile can also capture whether you are open to meeting someone who divides their life between locations, helping us consider lifestyle compatibility from both sides.
Dual Residence is not simply for someone who travels frequently for holidays. It is designed for a genuinely two-location lifestyle.
Black is the most private and high-touch No.36 membership experience.
It is particularly suited to members who value an additional level of privacy, discretion and personal attention, including people with high-profile or public-facing careers, founders, executives, business owners, or anyone whose professional life means they prefer their personal life to remain more protected.
Black members have a closer relationship with the Membership and matchmaking team, with more proactive support throughout their introduction journey.
The experience can include: priority consideration when a suitable introduction exists; more personalised introduction curation; closer follow-up from the Membership Team; a more concierge-style relationship with No.36; selected Black-only experiences; and a complimentary session with selected readiness partners or dating coaches.
Black-only experiences also create smaller, more discreet environments where Black members can meet one another away from the wider membership calendar.
Black is not about simply receiving “more people.” It is about creating a more personalised, private and carefully managed experience.
Black Membership is particularly suited to people who value an additional level of privacy, discretion and personal attention.
Many Black members have high-profile, public-facing or senior professional roles and prefer to keep their personal lives more protected.
Others simply prefer a more private, concierge-style membership experience, with closer support from the No.36 team and access to smaller, Black-only experiences.
You do not need to be a public figure to join Black. It is designed for members who place a higher value on discretion, personalised support and a more closely managed experience.
Choose the membership that best reflects how you live and how much involvement you would like from the No.36 team, rather than simply choosing the highest tier.
Residence is designed for members whose primary base is Stockholm.
Dual Residence is for those whose lives genuinely span Stockholm and another location.
Black is the more private and high-touch experience, with greater discretion, closer involvement from the Membership and matchmaking team, and a more concierge-style relationship throughout your journey.
If you’re unsure, our Membership Team can help you determine which option best fits your lifestyle.
Membership & Commitment
No. We don’t offer a one-month trial. The initial membership period is four months.
No.36 is designed for people who are genuinely ready to make space for a relationship.
Your Circle is designed to meet repeatedly in smaller settings, allowing familiarity and chemistry to develop naturally over time, while our team is also working with your Chemistry Profile and selected introductions.
In many ways, joining No.36 is the first commitment you make to being more intentional about finding a relationship.
It isn’t designed to be something you dip in and out of from month to month, single and available today, then gone tomorrow. That continuity is part of what allows the community, Circles and introduction process to work properly.
Yes.
We understand that life, work and travel don’t always follow a perfect schedule.
Members can request to pause their membership for up to one month, allowing you to step away temporarily without losing the remainder of your membership period.
You have the right to cancel your membership within the 14-day withdrawal period, in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
After the withdrawal period has passed, your initial four-month membership commitment remains in place.
Full details regarding cancellation and your right of withdrawal can be found in our Terms & Conditions.
That’s wonderful news, and ultimately exactly what we hope No.36 can help create.
We also know that a new connection takes time to develop.
You can therefore keep your membership and continue enjoying the No.36 social calendar and community while you see where that connection goes.
There is no pressure to make an immediate decision simply because you have started seeing someone.
And for the members whose No.36 connection does turn into a relationship, we have something special in store for you too.
About No.36
No.36 was founded by two female founders based in Stockholm.
Before opening the club more widely, the concept was explored on a smaller scale through an early pilot community, largely built through extended networks and friends of friends.
That period helped shape many of the ideas that now define No.36, including recurring Circles, natural in-person introductions and the decision to create a full private members club for relationship-minded singles.
That is intentional.
No.36 was built around privacy and discretion, and the founders want people to join because the concept and community resonate with them, not because of who the founders are or who they may know.
The founders remain actively involved behind the scenes, but No.36 was never intended to become a founder-led personal brand or a way to gain access to a particular person’s private network.
The public identity is the club, its members and the experience.
That decision also reflects the same discretion we aim to provide to our members.
