A members’ network for curious people
Turn what you know into who you know.
Meet people through what you can share, what you want to learn and what you’d enjoy doing together.
Different lives.
Plenty in common.

Arsha Kaviani, 36
New York and London
Concert pianist & composer
Aspiring founder
Known for elevating small talk to medium talk (If you get the reference, we’re already going to hit it off well!)
Love exploring new ideas, games, and different perspectives through people’s expertise...
Piano, music & composition
Featured skill
Love to share anything re: music, from the first principles of harmony to the most obscure Russian postmodern composers and everything in between.
Chess
I love playing blitz and bullet chess and showing people really cool obscure gambits.
Stocks and Options
Here are my thoughts on frothy yet justifiable hyperscaler valuations
Conversational Spanish
I keep fantasising about moving to Sevilla, so would love to brush up on my Spanish.
AI and robotics
Really curious about how AI and robotics will change different industries, give us more room to be creative, and turn up uses none of us saw coming.
Chess over beer or coffee?
Always looking for new chess buddies. I’m around 2150 at bullet, but love a good old-fashioned game of blitz over a beer or a coffee somewhere.
The idea
A members’ network for human connection.
Seneca makes the possibilities between people visible. Members bring their skills, interests and lived experience, alongside examples of their work. They make their intentions known: what they’re willing to share, what they seek, and what they’d like to do together.
Within a verified members’ network, you might discover someone who awakens a new interest, someone you can help, or someone to build, explore or spend time with. What people know gives you a reason to be curious; what they’re open to gives you a reason to connect.
Discover one another directly, or let Engineered Serendipity suggest possibilities neither of you might have recognised alone. Interest stays private until it’s mutual. Then a conversation opens—and something worthwhile can begin.
How it works
Four ways
to begin.
There’s more than one way to be useful to each other.
Exchange
Trade what you know for what they know.
Piano for Spanish.Share
Make something you know useful to someone else.
Help a founder with their first pitch.Learn
Find someone who can help you get further.
Finally understand that chess opening.Do something together
Find company for a plan, a project or an afternoon.
A gallery. A game. Something you build.Bring what makes you, you.
What you know. What you’re curious about. What you’d like company for.
- 01
Show a little of your world.
Share your skills and interests, with examples of your work. Say what you’d like to learn or do next.
- 02
Find a reason to connect.
Explore people’s profiles. Discover what you could offer each other, or something you could enjoy together.
- 03
Make a plan. Meet in person.
A conversation is the beginning. Find a time, choose a place and take it into the real world.
Engineered serendipity.
When the value between two people is not immediately obvious, the Engineered Serendipity AI engine can identify a credible overlap or shared direction.
If interest is mutual, this can lead to a high-signal, worthwhile encounter — and from that, real human connection.

Portraits for chess
You photograph Jana. Jana teaches you chess. An afternoon well spent, on both sides of the board.
Try a suggestion. This is just an example.
Trust and verification
Let your work
speak for you.
A performance, a project, a piece of writing. Your profile gives people something to go on beyond a job title.
Show what you do.
Bring your work together, from your portfolio, your research or the places you already share it.
Build a record together.
Completed exchanges and vouches from other members give that first introduction more context.
What if you don’t want a direct swap?
Under Seneca’s proposed exchange rules, a one-way contribution transfers a vouch when both members confirm completion. You can later pass it to another member who agrees to share with you.
The contribution stays on your record as the vouch moves on. Vouches are earned, never bought.
Why Seneca?
“While we teach, we learn.”
Seneca the Younger
The great philosopher Seneca understood that explaining something makes you understand it better. The person sharing has as much to gain as the person learning. That’s the idea behind the name and one of the core ideas behind the network we’re building.
