Overview
01 · Problem
A private club for founders, owners and private investors thrives on personal relationships, yet member care, events and partner contacts tied the team down in manual work.
02 · Approach
Onboarding with a welcome wagon, member and partner management, event organisation and introductions were connected into one continuous community system; AI standardises the recurring work.
03 · Result
The effort for running the community fell by 60%. On the side, an organic inflow of ten new enquiries per week emerged.

Starting point
An exclusive club in Dubai connects international founders, owners and private investors with family offices as well as venture capital and private equity players. Its value comes not from the number of members but from the quality of the encounters. With six-figure memberships, every member expects to be noticed personally and connected appropriately, across countries and time zones.
How does a private business club organise its community without losing the personal touch?
During the project, a community system was built that accompanies the entire life cycle of a member: personal onboarding with a welcome wagon, maintained profiles with interests and goals, invitations and follow-up for events, suggestions for suitable contacts and ongoing partner management. Each stage hands over cleanly to the next, so that no member and no partner contact slips out of view.
Recurring tasks such as preparing appointments, event communication, following up and preparing contact suggestions are standardised with AI support. As members and partners are distributed internationally, the entire community can be run independent of location. The path from the first organic contact to admission is also connected; within a few weeks, ten enquiries per week came in, with a rising trend. ivato is co-founder and technical operator of the club.
