Today we’re opening up applications for our Spring ‘25 Cohort!

Apply For S25 Cohort Here!

As we grow as a club we’ve been experimenting with all the best ways to build true community and we’ve been thrilled at how running a 3 month cohort has bonded our new members together. Today applications are officially open for an April 15th start date for the S25 Cohort! Applications will close on April 1st.

What do you need to know?

  1. Maxwell Isn’t A Private Club, We’re Building A Modern Co-ed “Fraternal” Order

Maxwell is not a private club full of people who don’t speak to each other or who are showing up just to sneak a peek at the latest celebrity. We’re building a modern (co-ed) “fraternal” society – our members cook, dine and drink together every weekend, providing an opportunity to make lifelong friendships. You belong at Maxwell and Maxwell belongs to you.

  1. At Maxwell You Join In Cohorts

Cohorts are your new NYC family -- you dine, drink and co-work with them and they are your support system within the club. In order to join 50 other cohort mates for 12 events over three months we require 4 interviews with existing members. As we’ve evolved Maxwell we realized a core truth — people were signing up for the structure. There is something intuitive about this — you go to business school for the structured way you’ll meet your classmates (lets be real, it’s not for the education), you sign up for a fellowship at institutions like CFR or the Atlantic Council or Partnership for New York City because you want to meet the other participants and the fellowship gives you the structure to do that. It’s no different at Maxwell — we’ve vetted 49 other amazing people for you to be lifelong friends with, and built the structure that allows you to get to know them.

  1. The Core Activities: High Brow, Low Brow & Everything In Between

Intimate 10 person Members Dinners to get to know your cohort and other members. Boys Whiskey & Steak and Girls Dirty Martini Nights. Comedy Cellar, NY Red Bulls & Knicks games Off-Sites. Family Dinners cooked with other members. And of course our Iconic Parties like our Rodeo Party (mechanical bull: check!) and the Apres Ski Party.

If this all sounds appealing, remember applications will close on April 1st, so . . .

Apply For S25 Cohort!

And as always, follow along on Instagram.

David, Kyle & Joelle
