Founded by Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan, both 30, this club welcomes all types of women. The new location in Brooklyn was originally a tape factory, the company strives to keep the traditional bones of the building and simply add a modern touch. The new social club will feature workspaces to allow women to work and collaborate, a restaurant, and a bar to encourage social interaction outside of work. Strong believers in feminism and equality, the club is less exclusive than other clubs of this kind. This new women-only social club will be opening in February, but [membership applications are now open](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nylon-membership). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Women-only Social Clubs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating inclusive and empowering spaces for women to work, collaborate, and network. - **Workspace and Collaboration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing innovative workspaces that cater specifically to the needs of women, fostering creativity and productivity. - **Feminist and Equality-based Business:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Building businesses that prioritize feminism and equality, creating a new market for products and services that empower women. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Social Club:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Reinventing the traditional social club model by focusing on women and creating inclusive spaces for them to gather. - **Hospitality and Restaurant:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative hospitality and restaurant concepts that cater specifically to women, providing a supportive and inclusive environment. - **Co-working Space:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating co-working spaces designed to meet the unique needs of women, fostering collaboration, and empowering female entrepreneurs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Female-Led Nightlife Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightcap.md) - [Exclusive Membership Club Openings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soho-house.md) - [Sizable Athletic Membership Parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-athletic-clubs.md) - [Female-Centered Restaurant Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trust-bae.md) - [Alcohol-Free Members Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcohol-free-members-club.md) - [Alcohol-Free Members Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze-nyc.md) - [Modern Female-Focused Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gettysburg-salon.md) - [Experiential Social Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-stuff-social-club.md) - [Stereotype-Fighting Social Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunroom.md)
