86
Tech startup founder + CEO building an AI zoning-report platform for real estate. Prior CEO of OGS, co-founder of SnapLand. Practiced construction/zoning law for 7 yrs. Lives at The Shores across the street. Moving from WeWork.

Hasanal Zafrullah
Wellness founder · Mindish (HK), Zupe
85
Founded Mindish (Hong Kong's first luxury mental-health clinic) and Zupe, "the world's first personalized wellbeing platform underpinned by vertical AI." Recently moved from Hong Kong to Santa Monica. Tatler-profiled wellness operator.

ActionWorth a call regardless of membership outcome. Ex-WeWork operator running a flexible-workspace platform — there's likely a partnership conversation here, even if he doesn't end up as a member.

Social media producer · ex-Anomaly LA, Ralph
79
Visual storyteller / video / photo / social media strategy. Past: Associate Producer at Anomaly LA, Production Coordinator at Ralph. Recently moved back to LA after digital nomad life. Loves meditation + yoga + meeting new people.

78
Freelance experiential designer fusing art, engineering, and digital tech. Stage designer for live events. Built a 40-foot 3D stage display for a recent conference. Wants co-working + events + classes.
ActionRe-engage. Affordability is the question — confirm whether $399/mo works for freelance income, or offer her a class/events-only plan if you have one.
Reza Taj
Affordable housing finance · full-time remote
78
34, moved to LA early 2025. Manages project underwriting + BD for the Western US in affordable housing finance. Used the literal phrase "vibrant, intentional community" in his application. No public profile surfaced.

77
Software engineer at Spot AI (embedded systems + AI), working remotely for SF startup. Moved from SF to LA, living in AirBnBs — has been using the cafe coworking space already and "getting hot drinks." Ready to convert.

Robyn Wells
Indie publisher · astrologer · reiki
75
Founder of Book of Life Books LLC — indie publisher of "Soul-Stirring Stories." Most prominent title: Viki King's How to Be the Hero of Your Own Life. Multi-career arc (music, magazines, Wall Street, foundation admin, chocolatier, publisher). Certified astrologer + reiki practitioner.
ActionRe-engage with two qualifying questions: where she's based, and whether she needs a fixed monthly desk or a lighter cadence.
David Larkin
VC / private equity · ex-WeWork
73
45, "passion for service and self improvement." Working in VC/PE, looking to leave WeWork for like-minded community. Common name — multiple David Larkins online. Possible matches: Engineering Partner at Northmark Ventures, or angel investor (PitchBook). Confirm directly.

Katie Koerner
Marketing Manager, EvolveWell
66
Marketing Manager at EvolveWell (L&D platform for frontline employees). Wants the space for her team — 5 people: 2 founders + 2 sales + her. That's a meeting/team room ask, not a single coworking desk.
ActionRedirect. A 5-person team — including 2 sales reps — is not a cafe-coworking match. Either pitch the team a private meeting room (if Gather has one) or pass to a partner space and offer to host one of their events.
