Diversifying our network through Collective Wild Cards.

At Wintercircus Collective, we bring together entrepreneurial minds and forward-thinkers in a vibrant space designed for connection, creativity, and growth.

To break down financial barriers, we offer Collective Wild Cards — one-year memberships for aspiring entrepreneurs and academics who need financial support. These members become part of a vibrant community that fuels bold ideas and inclusive progress, for a better tomorrow.

A Wild Card grants full access to Wintercircus Collective — our inspiring spaces, thriving community, and weekly curated events. Members can book meeting rooms and sports classes at special rates and enjoy a 10% discount at all bars and dining spots within Wintercircus.

Together, we build a better future through entrepreneurship, technology, and collaboration.

Breaking down barriers with Wintercircus Impact Partners.

At Wintercircus, we believe entrepreneurship, technology, and collaboration are key to tackling societal challenges and driving progress. Our Impact Partner Program supports organizations dedicated to empowering underrepresented and underprivileged groups, fostering equal opportunities, and creating meaningful social change.

As an Impact Partner, you join a dynamic community where diverse talents connect, innovate, and inspire. With access to 15,000m² of meeting spaces, workshops, event venues, and hospitality, we want to support your mission to nurture talent and break down barriers for underserved communities.

The program includes 15 memberships, full access to our facilities, and event rentals — ensuring Impact Partners can expand their reach, amplify their impact, and be part of a lasting network committed to inclusive growth and innovation.
