* Treehouse Boston Goes Global

Treehouse (https://www.treehouse.red/) is a network of givers that empowers and inspires its members to make an impact via a series of small, invitation-only, nontraditional events.

Treehouse is technically a networking group, but it is also a civic and social organization (https://www.linkedin.com/company/68767545/). The Treehouse mission is to help each other and our communities: by doing favors, giving back, mentorship, paying it forward, referrals, sharing our talents, and volunteering.

The inspiration for Treehouse comes from the excellent book “Give and Take” by Adam Grant (https://www.treehouse.red/1.html). The basic premise of the book is that you can be a giver – in business and in life – and be a champ, not a chump.

All events (including food and drink) are paid for by sponsors. Sponsors demonstrate the “give first” mentality that is central to Treehouse.

Treehouse members are curated via a proprietary, trade secret process. Since Treehouse members are givers, you are far more likely to get help (whether personal or professional) from Treehouse than from any other networking group.

A Brief History Of Treehouse

• 2017 – Treehouse conceived.
• 2018 – Treehouse launched. 3 venues, 9 events, 134 total members.
• 2019 – Sponsorship launched. 6 venues, 27 events, 204 total members.
• 2020 – Coronavirus put in-person events on hold, moved to Zoom. 7 venues, 11 events (YTD), 220 total members.

As you can see, since the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, Treehouse has had to (temporarily) pivot from an in-person group to a virtual one. As such, we are now extending invitations outside of the Greater Boston area.

I joke around that I have one good idea per decade. I’m pretty sure that Treehouse is it. If you receive an invitation, then I hope that you will join us!
