KIS Launches Innovative Social Club, Redefining Connections for Singles and Their Friends in Los Angeles. Stop Swiping and Start Connecting with KIS

​

Los Angeles, CA — Oct 8, 2024 — KIS is excited to announce the official launch of its groundbreaking social club, transforming how singles connect in person through a variety of engaging events across Los Angeles. With the launch of the website, www.KIS.co, KIS simplifies and enhances the experience of making new friends, finding dates, and fostering genuine connections—all while keeping it fun and enjoyable.

​

According to the July 2024 Forbes Health study, 80% of Millennials report experiencing dating app burnout, feeling emotionally, mentally, or physically exhausted by the process. Many modern daters yearn for deeper connections beyond superficial interactions, with 69% of Millennials preferring in-person dating for its authenticity. As highlighted in an EventBrite report from June 2024, “Singles are shifting from online to offline dating in favor of shared experiences.”

​

KIS offers a refreshing alternative to swipe-based apps. For just $99 a month, members join a community and gain access to the KIS events calendar featuring weekly activities. No profiles or swiping are necessary or even available — and members can bring up to two friends to each event, providing a supportive atmosphere for meeting new people.

​

KIS was founded by Autumn Brown (she/her), a seasoned marketing and commercial leader from Redondo Beach, who faced the challenges of modern dating firsthand. After her 10-year marriage ended, she sought a fun, organic way to meet other singles, but it didn’t exist. This inspired her to leave her successful corporate career and create KIS. She invited her close friend Glenn Roland (he/him), a successful business leader in both Fortune 500 companies and startups, to join her. After attending an event as her wingman, he recognized the positive impact KIS will have on the community and welcomed the opportunity to help build the social club.

 

“After a successful pilot, we saw the profound impact of simply creating space for singles and their friends to socialize in low pressure environments,” said Brown, Founder & CEO at KIS.  “People are craving more in-person connections. With KIS they gain access to a packed social calendar with a wide range of activities and they are guaranteed to meet other people who also want to connect. Plus we get to support a lot of really wonderful local businesses. It’s a beautiful ecosystem.”

​

Key features of KIS:
 

• Engaging Events: KIS hosts a variety of weekly events designed to bring people together in fun and social settings to encourage connection. The experiences vary across a wide range of activities including house parties, yoga & meditation workshops, rooftop socials, happy hours and coffee shop hangouts. All designed to be welcoming and to offer a chance to meet other local singles and their friends.

• Vibrant Community: Members join a lively community that encourages networking, friendship, and genuine connections. Most KIS members are in their 30s, 40s and 50s.

• Inclusive: KIS embraces all sexual identities and preferences. And while the main focus is connecting single members with other singles, KIS is a social club and welcomes friends in committed relationships to join their single friends to be a “wingman” at events. This support makes meeting new people easier and more comfortable.

• Social Club: When members join, they are joining a community and each member receives three KIS lapel pins. The blue heart pin signals that they are single. And the two yellow winged hearts are for friends in committed relationships. Wearing the pins is optional and provides a fun way to show off your status at KIS events.
   

The platform’s intuitive design ensures that viewing and attending KIS events is straightforward and enjoyable. Today, KIS events are primarily in the South Bay however they will be expanding throughout Los Angeles over the next few months. Members are experiencing firsthand the vibrant community and engaging events that define the unique offering behind KIS.
