Est. 2026 — Southwest Florida
Southwest Florida’smost interesting people,in one room.
The 239 Collective is a private social club hosting curated, ticketed gatherings for founders, executives and creatives — from Fort Myers to Naples to Marco Island.
The Collective
Not a networking group. Not a country club. A private circle of the people building Southwest Florida — founders, operators, investors, artists and makers — brought together in rooms worth showing up for. No name tags. No pitches. Just the right people, often enough that it compounds.
What we do
Four ways we gather.
Signature Evenings
Our flagship ticketed events — rooftops, private estates and waterfront venues across the 239, each with a guest list built by hand.
Private Dinners
Twelve to twenty seats. Chef-led tables where the conversation is the main course and every seat is considered.
On the Water
Sunset charters, sandbar afternoons and island weekends. Southwest Florida the way it should be experienced.
Founder Salons
Small, off-the-record conversations with the people who have built, sold, funded and scaled in Florida and beyond.

FAQ
Good to know.
What is The 239 Collective?
The 239 Collective is an invitation-based social club for founders, executives, investors and creatives across Southwest Florida. We host curated, ticketed events in Fort Myers, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Cape Coral, Marco Island and Sanibel.
Is this a networking group?
Not in the traditional sense. There are no referral quotas, name tags or pitches. Our events are social first — dinners, rooftop evenings, sunset charters — and the relationships that come out of them tend to be the most valuable ones our guests have.
How do I get in?
Request an invitation. We review every request and keep each room balanced across industries and cities. Approved guests can purchase tickets to upcoming events.
Do I need to be a member to attend?
Not yet. Events are currently ticketed and open to approved guests. A monthly founding membership with priority access, members-only evenings and partner perks is coming — join the list to be first in line.
Where are events held?
Across the 239 area code — Southwest Florida — from downtown Fort Myers to Fifth Avenue South in Naples, Bonita Beach, Estero, Cape Coral and Marco Island. Exact venues are shared with ticket holders.
