The Entered sells premium membership to ambitious African professionals and the diaspora. Members pay a recurring subscription (₦40,000/month or ₦400,000/year, with a Founding 500 tier at ₦250,000/year locked for life) for access to a vetted community spanning two verticals: curated dating and professional networking. Revenue is subscription-led and recurring from day one, with curated events as a second stream at launch. Four further streams sit on the Phase 2 and 3 roadmap: partner and brand revenue, a business and deal-flow tier, a concierge tier and travel partnerships. The model is high-margin (90%+ gross) because the cost base is largely fixed.

The Entered is Africa's first private members-only platform combining curated dating and professional networking in one vetted high-trust community. Built for ambitious Africans and the global diaspora. The category Raya and Soho House proved in the West but built natively for Africa.
