NonOrdinary has grass roots in events hosted through Meetup.com. We found it attracts the kind of people we love — curious, passionate, renaissance creatives that care about the world and community. Before the pandemic, we had held over 300 events and expanded into 7 cities, based on partnership requests. Organized into 8 compelling topics, we were having a blast experimenting and growing our meetup friends to over 50,000+ subscribers in our groups.
