Meet The Founders

Autumn Brown, Founder & CEO

Autumn Brown, CEO

Connecting face-to-face can be so energizing and being part of a community contributes to a sense of belonging and purpose. We need more of that in our world. 

I truly believe in what we are building at KIS; I transitioned from a leadership role at a Fortune 500 company to fully pursue this vision. Like many, I experienced the complexities of modern dating after the end of my ten-year marriage, which inspired me to create this community for simple, authentic interactions.

At KIS, we host a variety of weekly events designed to bring people together in low pressure, social environments. All connections are made in-person, providing a refreshing alternative to swipe-based dating apps. Our members enjoy a vibrant community that fosters networking, friendship, and genuine connections, all while supporting local businesses and musicians.

We partner with local owners of coffee shops, restaurants, yoga studios, and breweries and we collaborate with talented local artists (musicians, artists, yoga practitioners) to create unique experiences for our members. Their enthusiasm for our mission at KIS has been incredibly rewarding, creating a mutually beneficial relationship for everyone involved.

Join us on this incredible journey of connecting, building community and discovering hidden gems in our community (people and places!) See ya out there.

 

Happy connecting  ~ AB

Glenn Roland, COO

Over a delightful dinner at one of my favorite South Bay spots, Nick’s Manhattan Beach, Autumn shared her exciting plans for KIS and invited me to join her on this new adventure. After a thoughtful chat with my wonderful wife of 26 years, we both agreed—this was an amazing opportunity to team up with one of my favorite people!

Having known Autumn for a decade, I’ve always been inspired by her passion, skill, and unwavering discipline. Combined with my journey through the corporate world and experience in building, running, and selling startups it makes for a strong executive team.

About 18 months ago, I had the chance to attend one of the KIS pilot evenings, and I truly saw the positive impact it can have on the community. With adult kids now navigating their own paths, I can’t help but reflect on how much easier it was for us to connect in an office environment—before we all became glued to our pocket-sized distractions!

KIS isn’t just for singles; it’s about fostering a vibrant community that includes friends and couples, weaving a rich social fabric for everyone involved.

 

Here’s to new beginnings and meaningful connections!  ~ Glenn Roland
