1. What is Create What You Wish Existed?
Create What You Wish Existed is more than a networking community — it’s a live platform for entrepreneurial minds to meet, share, and build what hasn’t been built yet.
Founded on the belief that big ideas need bold spaces, the club brings together founders, creatives, and innovators who are looking not just for exposure — but for meaningful connection.
“Are you an entrepreneur with ideas that the world hasn’t seen yet? Do you dream of innovations and solutions that could change the game? Are you looking for co-founder who will share your journey or an investor who will inject his capital or wisdom in your dies?"
That’s the question at the heart of every event — and the answer is found in the room: through live conversations, intimate talks, and collaborative meetups with some of the world’s most visionary founders.
Hosted by Locals.org, the club has featured speakers like:
-
Sam Altman (OpenAI)
-
Nik Storonsky (Revolut)
- Alex Hofman (Musical.ly now TikTok)
-
Michelle Kennedy (Peanut)
-
Rita Ora (Typebea)
-
Ethan Brown (Beyond Meat)
It’s a space where learning, leadership, and ambition are exchanged — not just online, but face-to-face — and where the next big thing often begins with a shared conversation.
2. How They Use Locals
Create What You Wish Existed runs on the belief that in-person connection drives powerful outcomes — and Locals provides the infrastructure to make that scale possible.
With over 50 in-person events hosted and nearly 5,000 attendees, the team uses Locals’ full event management system to handle RSVPs, page views, and registrations — accumulating over 400,000 event views and €20,000+ in revenue.
The club offers a paid membership tier — called the FOUNDERS Membership Tier. Built directly on Locals, it offers a fully integrated system to manage subscriptions, track transactions, and unlock exclusive content — all in one place.
Members can choose from three billing options:
-
Monthly: £105/month
-
Quarterly: £208 every 3 months
-
Annually: £1,145/year
This flexibility gives members multiple entry points, while ensuring stable, recurring revenue for the creators — with €30,000+ in projected Annual Recurring Revenue
But what really sets the FOUNDERS tier apart is the high-touch value it delivers, which justifies its premium price point:
-
Private access to intimate networking dinners, hikes, and curated gatherings with renowned founders and thought leaders
-
VIP treatment at events, including reserved seating, last-minute entry, and personal meet & greets
-
Global invitations to Create events in hubs like Dubai, New York, and Paris
-
Business & investment opportunities, including co-investing with other tier members
-
Exclusive perks, like high-end goodie bags, AI-generated event summaries, and premium partner discounts
It’s a playbook for how to turn a powerful mission into sustainable income — showing creators what’s possible when membership is more than just a paywall, but a full experience.
The creator also benefits from a dedicated analytics dashboard, offering in-depth insights into member demographics, engagement patterns, and overall community activity, including:
-
Age breakdown: 47% of members are aged 26–35, followed by 35% aged 36–45

Top interests: Traveling abroad, food & restaurants, personal growth, and coffee & chats

With a custom-branded club page, integrated payments, and access to deep member insights, Locals gives the creators of Create What You Wish Existed everything they need to operate like a global organization — without leaving the event floor.
