Nido was founded in 2021 from the belief that human connection is what matters most. As AI optimizes human functions our capacity expands. Nido helps members channel that energy back into real life.

The work of 28 thought leaders, community builders & creatives has made Nido what it is today.

We are redefining the way we connect with ourselves, each other & the natural world. Designed for those who want to move through the world with intention, Nido is a meticulously curated social infrastructure that replaces digital fatigue with substance.
