Trust.

Rooms in every city. One reason behind all of them.

As the world fills up with technology and AI, people still find meaning, purpose and connection with animals and with the next generation.

That’s the reason. Every room we open backs both: Best Friend across the whole network, and a local youth cause in each city.

Animals · across the whole network

Best-Friend.org

Best-Friend.org is building a system communities can install to solve shelter overcapacity, then end when it is no longer needed. It asks for attention rather than donations, so sharing is how the network helps.

The next generation · in every city

A local youth education cause gets the room’s attention.

Each city room spotlights one verified local organization creating education or opportunity for young people. Open your city to meet the cause its room is helping more people discover.

Trust Events is a calendar, a card, a community, and thousands of rooms of ambitious people who are building important things.

  1. We aggregate every business, tech, and investor event worth your time in your area.

  2. We matchmake you with the people who’d be the most valuable to meet.

  3. Then we automate all of the nurturing follow-up, so the time you spent at that event is worthwhile.

Who’s behind it

Trust Events was founded by two couples, lifelong friends, and experienced entrepreneurs/investors who have built and sold several companies over their careers and are now focused on their legacy project.

Local people meeting local people is how a community builds the relationships it needs to take care of its own. And city by city, that is how we intend to see Best Friend take life all over the planet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Isn't AI a little over-hyped?

No. Haha. Are there a lot of midwits claiming to be “AI-powered” right now? Yes. Gotta filter through the BS. (There's a lot. Totally get it). But this is definitely not a “fad” that any leader should be late to. And something huge happened in early 2026. Here's more evidence. This is wayyyy bigger than LLMs, generative AI, ChatGPT, vibecoding, etc. Machine learning, humanoid robotics, quantum computing, bio/nanotech, blockchain, and many other converging technologies are completely changing the meaning of human existence… …and the next 6-12 months are absolutely critical. For anyone trying to stay ahead of the curve, watch this for perspective. Then decide what's important for you and your family?

What exactly do you do?

We create aligned incentives so the better you do, the better we do. And we're building toward a hybrid IPO/exit with several partners in our holding company + thousands of our affiliates who will benefit as well. That said, the capital markets and the meaning of life/work is changing insanely fast… Wanna come with us on a helluva ride to Utopia? (And/or Skynet — we might need allies haha).

How much does it cost?

Well… everything costs money and/or part of your lifetime. Which do you value more? We don’t provide any consulting or services. But if you want help, that’s exactly why we built the directory.

Why is this important now?

When it comes to technology and trends, we're really good at identifying: 1. What to do (biggest constraint/opportunity) 2. When to do it (1st priority, 2nd, 3rd, etc) 3. Who else can help (from our network)

Why are you doing this?

We're on an unrelenting MISSION to make our/your dog live forever (or just longer) with AI, robotics, quantum computing, and biotech/nanoscience. (All of which is very expensive btw, so we have no choice but to aggregate and deploy vast sums of monetary energy alongside a LEGION of partners to pull forward dreams into reality for the greater good of humanity and animals worldwide). We also like mansions, flying private, likeminded friends, and freedom. Wanna come with?

How do we get started?

We hate busy calendars. 📵 You can't hire us but you can hire the people we've personally vetted in the directory.
